Indeed, the video output gets entirely covered by a query string,
it's painful to see. The problem is that if the design precludes any
metadata, it won't be possible to add the missing ones.

If the location field retains the original web page URL, and if stopping
then playing the item a second time restarts from the original web page
URL instead of directly the stream URL, then I think it's fixed.
