 Original description for this part of the ticket:

 == Front Page Restriction ==

 I've been looking to incorporate this functionality in the
 [https://demo.audiotheme.com/marquee/ Marquee] theme and it feels broken
 if video only loads on the front page. This seems like a restriction that
 should be left up to the theme and is particularly difficult to workaround
 if a theme wants video on more than one page.

 Browsers should be caching local videos, which should minimize the
 bandwidth impact a bit. I think we should make the API broadly useful and
 document best practices instead of trying to enforce onerous restrictions.
