So, are you trying to play a downloaded video, or want to play a streaming video in a browser window?

[sirkillalot617]

Streaming video in the browser

Do you have totem installed? I don't really like it for a standalone player but I do like the mozilla plugin.

In Synaptic install these:
totem, totem-gstreamer, totem-mozilla, gstreamer-plugins-base, gstreamer-plugins-good, gstreamer-plugins-bad, gstreamer-plugins-ugly

if you also install flash, you should be able to stream movies from any site.

thanks iv instaled everything except for totem mozilla which i cnt find does it have another name?

Use the search button in Synaptic and search for totem and look for a mozilla plugin. Depending on your source repository it may have a different name "totem-mozilla" is what it is called on mine.
