Oh that is probably because it is using GStreamer 0.10. The 0.10 
Freescale plugins for the VPU are known to not work with WebKit. See 
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4155 and 
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4156. Check if it was 
built with its GStreamer 0.10 or 1.0 backend. With 1.0 , you can use 
gstreamer-imx for decoding.
