wbem clips are DASH video only. mp4 ones are audio+video.
seeing as it never manages to go 1080p (another limitation of non DASH mp4 on YT) I suspect smplayer can only play combined vidoe+audio formats (at least while using mplayer, maybe its different with MVP)
I experimented with mplayer streaming separate DASH Video + DASH audio, it was VERY broken with mplayer losing audio sync and not bing able to recover and mplayer devs not willing to even try to reproduce :/
