Epiphany doesn't support the new audio and video elements in HTML. 
Tinyvid then serves you a Java-based player instead, but I never had 
much luck with that myself. Another option is to just click the 
"Download this video" link. That loads the video separately and plays it 
in Totem, embedded in Epiphany.

The IceCat repo has recently changed. See this thread:
