Hello Erik, Thank you for the Command+Shift+R tip; I'd forgotten all about it. While using that key combo made the text easier to navigate, it did nothing to stop/or even access the video controls.
By the way, I read the Safari help article, on the web and I did not see the listing for the Command+Shift+R key combo.
