QtMultimedia relies on 'backends' to work on different OS'. For Windows I
think it uses 'DirectShow'. Is that installed and working properly on the
machines you're trying?

Here's more detail on the state of art:

Places where video is not playing, it's possible that there's no support
for the codec/container in the backend being used (DirectShow or some
other).
