I am using KDE with Firefox 27.0.1 or Chromium Version 33.0.1750.117 (252094):
Linux 3.11.10-7-desktop
openSUSE 13.1 (Bottle) (x86_64)
firefox gives an error
no video with supported format and MIME type found
Doesnt seem to even use flash for me… I even started with no addons
enabled and it still used the HTML5 player

Plays fine here:

Btw, that’s a HTML5 video, so flash-player is NOT used here.
AFAIK Firefox uses gstreamer-0_10 to play back HTML5 videos, so maybe you miss the appropriate plugins package?
It’s an MPEG4/H.264 video in a quicktime container, I think you would need gstreamer-0_10-plugins-ffmpeg for that.
For chromium you would need chromium-ffmpeg from Packman.
Thanks for the reply, I will have to fiddle with it tomorrow and see if I have the right plugins.
BTW, the video would not play with firefox on OSX 10.8 either. I am not really worried as much about that although I do find it odd. Safari on the mac plays it right off.
I will follow up with the results, thanks.
Right. Firefox doesn’t support MP4 (and gstreamer) on MacOS X yet.
See also https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/HTML/Supported_media_formats#Browser_compatibility (especially the last note) and http://bluishcoder.co.nz/2013/08/21/html-media-support-in-firefox.html .
Thank you wolfi323, installing gstreamer-0_10-plugins-ffmpeg allowed me to play the video. 
Plays fine in Konqueror which you have installed.
Yes, but that one also uses gstreamer-0_10, so as well requires gstreamer-0_10-plugins-ffmpeg just like Firefox. 
Yes I am sure it should all just “work” but for some reason I had to install the gstreamer plug-in, I think it just happens sometimes for whatever reason.
What I would like to know is who is this gstreamer person and how can I give some gratitude, thanks gstreamer people.
???
There is no one “gstreamer person”.
You can find the project’s homepage here:
