Description
Good Day
On the bundled theme Twenty Seventeen Version: 1.4.
You are only able to upload a video under the Appearance / Customize / Header Media section.
This results in video content being served from the Base URL.
i.e.
<script type='text/javascript'>var _wpCustomHeaderSettings = {"mimeType":"video\/mp4","posterUrl":"","videoUrl":"https:\/\/www.stratuscloud.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Flying.mp4","width":"2000","height":"1200","minWidth":"900","minHeight":"500","l10n":{"pause":"<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Pause background video<\/span><svg class=\"icon icon-pause\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\"> <use href=\"#icon-pause\" xlink:href=\"#icon-pause\"><\/use> <\/svg>","play":"<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Play background video<\/span><svg class=\"icon icon-play\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\"> <use href=\"#icon-play\" xlink:href=\"#icon-play\"><\/use> <\/svg>","pauseSpeak":"Video is paused.","playSpeak":"Video is playing."}};</script>
Thus it does not currently seem possible to serve the video from a CDN.

vs
https://www.stratuscloud.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Flying.mp4
Is it possible to override this value on database or file level or would this require an additional feature to be added to the Theme?

Hi and welcome to Trac!
I have not found a way to change the base URL within the Customizer. If you choose a video in your Media Library, it saves the attachment ID, and the custom URL field expects a YouTube link.
Using the get_header_video_url
filter, you could edit the (attachment) video's URL in a custom plugin (or functions.php). If you have a plugin for CDN images, it might automatically adjust the video URL by now, too.
