All movies on that page play without having taken any particular
precautions in Seamonkey (I dislike Firefox).

However, I have ffmpeg and mplayer installed (compiled from source
because there aren´t packages for those).  I don´t know if any of them
are being used by Seamonkey.


yum list installed | grep gstream
gstreamer.x86_64                       0.10.36-7.el7                   @base    
gstreamer-plugins-base.x86_64          0.10.36-10.el7                  @base    
gstreamer-tools.x86_64                 0.10.36-7.el7                   @base    
gstreamer1.x86_64                      1.10.4-2.el7                    @base    
gstreamer1-plugins-base.x86_64         1.10.4-1.el7                    @base    


Those must have been installed for dependencies; I didn´t install them
explicitly.
