Yes, here's what I have:

% pacman -Qi qt
Name           : qt

I also tried it with a rebuild of rekonq but the same happened.

So, I don't have this, right?

This made me think that it might be a codec issue, but I have every 
gstreamer0.10-plugin package installed and phonon backend is set to Gstreamer. 
And, if I put the URL of a video *file* (not tag) straight into rekonq, it 
plays perfectly.

I just rebuilt kwebkitpart as you suggested, and that made no difference 
unfortunately.

This is strange - the first frame of the video does display and the buttons 
sort of work, i.e. the volume button changes colour when I click on it - but 
the video doesn't play.
