[SOLVED] Firefox can't play a certain playlist on an HTML5 website

This is the link in question: http://blog.bitcoin-mining.com/vip-html5-player/

The Flash version works fine: http://vip.aersia.net/vip.swf

The funniest part is that if I start the playlist in Firefox under Windows, it works. In Linux it just keeps jumping from one song to another without ever playing it, as if it was inaccessible.
Starting the playlist with Vivaldi *also* works under Linux. It's just Firefox that won't budge. I haven't tried Chromium.

I have tried running Firefox without add-ons, in safe-mode but no dice. And since the YT HTML5 doesn't give me any shit, I'm not sure what the problem here could be since I don't really know how browsers work.

Does someone have an idea?

I'm not sure which info to provide, so... please, just ask away. My Firefox version is 37.0.2.

Optional Deps  : networkmanager: Location detection via available WiFi networks
                 gst-plugins-good: h.264 video
                 gst-libav: h.264 video
                 upower: Battery API

None so far. Not sure if installing the h.264 one would change it, since it's *video*.

Edit: Spoken to soon. Installing `gst-libav` fixed the problem. I really feel dumb, because I don't understand how this works/fixes the problem. Could someone shed some light on the issue, please?
