This may be a problem with the nytimes site but it is not a problem with Safari 3.1 or Firefox. You cannot select other videos to play, and videos do not continue to play when one finishes. Sorry if this is not a Webkit problem. here is the contents of the Error Console: Resource interpreted as script but transferred with MIME type text/html. adx_remote.html Resource interpreted as other but transferred with MIME type image/jpeg. gr_scale_video_logo.jpg Resource interpreted as script but transferred with MIME type text/html. adx_remote.html Resource interpreted as other but transferred with MIME type text/javascript. swfobject.jsp Resource interpreted as other but transferred with MIME type text/html. flvPlayerConfig.jsp Resource interpreted as other but transferred with MIME type image/jpeg. gr_scale_video_logo.jpg Resource interpreted as image but transferred with MIME type text/html. gr_channel_top.gif Resource interpreted as other but transferred with MIME type text/html.

The description says that this is a regression, marking as such. I haven't attempted to verify.
r31334 works, while r31344 does not, at least for video selection. I don't see anything obvious (to me) in that set of check-ins though. Needs git bisect or similar to determine the exact check-in that changed this behavior.
These videos now work properly. This report isn't really actionable any more. :(
