  Ah, I saw that platform/chromium/Skipped was removed in r66261 and assumed it was a change.

  What is the correct METADATA for a new media test that doesn't apply to Chromium (it is for a QuickTime specific behavior)? I think the test will fail because it uses a movie you probably don't support, so filing a bug seems like unnecessary busy work. I think the test will time out but I don't know so what is the correct EXPECTATIONS?
