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.
