If you go to 8:40 in the video it shows the IFE controls - it's a touchscreen system and there's no branding as to what it actually is!

The clues are that there's no wifi and the aircraft registration ends in an L (they blank it out on the video but you get a quick glimpse). The airframe has had 3 engines removed too.

There's a label on the side of the media storage, but it's not quite legible...
