I have seen the same thing.  In my case it just seems to freeze for the 
first few seconds.  I didn't worry about it at first because I had 
bigger issues to deal with.  I have the problem with no configuration 
files as using configuration files.

I don't have any problem playing the videos in VLC.

As it is a rpmfusion package, it would be better to ask them.
