What does this change?

Prefer MP4 format in self-hosted video over HLS formats.

Why?

iOS doesn't cache m3u8 video segments (.ts) files which is bad for users and CDN costs.

How to test?

In the sources of the video, the MP4 file should be listed above the HLS file.

Check that the MP4 file is downloaded in the network tab instead of the M3U8 files
