mp4 file will not play video, only audio on quicktime, fine on VLC

I have an mp4 file that will not play video, only audio, on QuickTime (10.4 on Yosemite) - and by extension does not show the correct icon in Finder not will it play properly on iOS devices.

Others play fine. Video encoding is H264, audio is AAC, so it should work. I tried remuxing it with ffmpeg, no luck.

Mac console shows "QuickTime Player: ava error: fail in SeqAndPicParamSetFromCFDictionaryRef"

Happy to remux (prefer not to re-encode, but I will if I have to) using ffmpeg, mp4box, whatever.

Below is file information:

I cannot imagine it is the order of tracks, audio before video. I have a suspicion it has something to do with the ftyp, but unsure?
