Description

• Video.js automatically detects the MIME type when the element's type attribute is undefined
• However, if a Media Fragment (e.g., #t=1) is appended to the URI, the auto-detection fails, resulting in the error:MEDIA_ERR_SRC_NOT_SUPPORTED
• The temporary workaround involves explicitly specifying the source's type attribute

Is this a known limitation? If it’s worth fixing, I’d be happy to help implement a solution.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a element and set its src attribute, but omit the type attribute.

2. Append a media fragment (e.g., #t=1) to the URL.

3. Observe the console error: MEDIA_ERR_SRC_NOT_SUPPORTED (indicating MIME type detection failed).
