I had a similar problem and I think I had to install the x264 libraries to make it work, but I'm not certain what I did to get it working on my F23 system.

Since updating to F23 I've been unable to view MP4 videos (mostly H264
encoded). I know this is a proprietary format but it's what's out there
and what people tend to send when sharing in emails (from non-Linux
machines as a rule). The message from vlc (for example) is:

Codec not supported:
VLC could not decode the format "h264" (H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10))

Usually the audio track is supported and plays, but no picture.

No doubt the answer is going to be "install gstreamer-ugly-whatever"
from RPMfusion, but I've done all that and still nothing. I didn't have
this problem under F22 (or earlier) so I have to wonder if something
hasn't been updated, but anyone with a solution is welcome to comment.

This is what I currently have installed:
