Just found this today https://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/you-just-won-a-brand-new-flat-screen-tv-ready-for-pickup-in-your-local-captains-quarter/

Anyone know if it still works? Or am I just doing something wrong.

I had many videos but since they changed technology to use WEBM when they added billboard commercials, they dont play anymore, they were in BIK. I did not try to make some WEBM versions. Maybe they would work, I dont know. Will try it when I will be in home.

But it did work, I edited my post above.
http://video.online-convert.com/convert-to-webm I used this.

Video was converted from .wmv, 29 frames, 1280x720. Its slightly squished because screen works in other proportions and 1280 x 622 resolution was the best. Actually all videos are fitted to the screen proportions.
