This also seems to affect other QML apps, which stream videos. See this question: http://askubuntu.com/questions/775757/no-video-shown-in-ubuntu-touch-qml-app-video-player

When I change the source to the locally stored file (the clip of Ellen, as mentioned above) the video is shown. When streaming the video over http, only audio is heard.
