Media, media elements, styles, player and content missing.

This may not be an issue with media but puzzling none the less.

I have as odd bug. I have one installation of d7 that plays local and youtube video files fine with mediaelement.js using a media field type video.
It was built up from previous dev versions of the core and modules.
I just installed a new installation using current modules, everything is the same. and I get errors with the media, mediaelements and styles.

Youtube video attached with media field and browser work fine in teaser and full node view.

Local video files uploaded with media field browser show a missing icon in both teaser and full node view... The link goes to sites/default/files/styles/large/public/.. and there is no file there.
yet this same exact configuration works on a different drupal install.
I double checked all my field settings, display options etc.. they seem to be the same for both site installs.

If I manually put in the missing linked file to the directory sites/default/files/styles/large/public/. Still no player and it shows a missing icon. But If I open that link of the missing icon directly in a new window it will open the mp4 file in a browser default player.

I have set my $base_url on and off with still no effect.
Tried with many browser configs, flash, silverlight on and off, iPad..
Same issues.

Any ideas or has anyone else ran into this?

The file type is an mp4 and it has been added to media>media_types>video allowed extensions.
