This one plays fine for me, both with current stable (WebKitGTK 2.30.1)
and a recent build from “trunk”; the video seems to be encoded with
H.264 (and AAC for the audio), so I suspect your system maybe does not
have a GStreamer plug-in installed to decode H.264.

For example here I have the following in my system

  % gst-inspect-1.0 | grep -i '264.*dec'
  va:  vah264dec: VA-API H.264 Decoder
  libav:  avdec_h264: libav H.264 / AVC / MPEG-4 AVC / MPEG-4 part 10 decoder
  %

The fist one is provided by gstreamer-vaapi [1] (hardware accelerated,
works will with Intel GPUs, but YMMV with others) and the second comes
from gst-libav [2], which should work everywhere (as it's software based).
There is also a decode based on OpenH264 included as part of the
gst-plugins-bad package (which I do not have installed). You may want to
check which packages include those in your distribution, and install them.

If after that, the video still doesn't play, please let us know —  we may
need to ask you for a GStreamer debug log to figure out what the exact
problem is.
