Description

When you use the keyboard to get focus on the video player and then try to start the video, the video does not start. Steps to reproduce:

1. load the video player and tab until the video player gets focus
2. press space
Notice that the video does not start even though the play overlay disappears.
3. press space again
Notice that the video starts but the play overlay reappears.

    In IE8, the behaviour is different and a bit worse - pressing keyboard on the video player container doesn't do anything. What's even stranger is that once you press Space on the outer container, you need to press Tab multiple times before focus appears on the Play button on the control bar. It would almost seem like something else is gaining focus.
