Moved videojs config outside of template into asset pipeline so that setting flash fallback (used by Firefox b/c lack of mp4 support) to local copy of '.swf' player happens before the player is rendered. Otherwise, the player will resort to using CDN copy of '.swf' player, and this will result in a 403, b/c any host attempting to access media from the media server must be whitelisted in apache config on the media server itself... .and the CDN that hosts the '.swf' player is not in that whitelist.
