Is that a dupe of Bug 1105890? Can you try to disable gstreamer?
Comment 2 Mykola Dvornik 2014-06-24 12:59:51 UTC 
without gstreamer-vaapi it works fine.

with gstreamer-vaapi it also works fine for SD videos (the vaapi gets initilized, not sure if it is used for SD playback then).

finally, HD and SD hw accelerated video playback works fine if the videos are played locally using Totem.
Comment 3 Martin Stransky 2014-06-24 13:01:58 UTC 
Yes, it's the dupe then.

seems like it is not a duplicate of bug 1105890 (see discussion there)
Comment 5 Mykola Dvornik 2014-07-29 11:31:02 UTC 
fixed in gstreamer-vaapi 0.5.9. Should it be packaged for fc20?
