Simple product videos display the thumbnail image rather than the embedded video player.

Preconditions

1. Magento Version 2.1

Steps to reproduce

1. Add a video to a configurable product and one of the simple products for that configurable product
2. View that product on the frontend.
3. Select the product configuration to display the simple product for which the video was added.
4. Select the video slide in the gallery and try to play the video
5. The slide will open up in full screen rather than playing the video.

Expected result

1. The video should play normally on the simple product like it does on the configurable product.

Actual result

1. http://take.ms/YrP7q

Still not working in 2.1.2. Any plans to fix this?

It is still broken. I can't use youtube or vimeo. Is there a workaround untill we wait?
