Once installation is complete, the video should begin to play. If not, try closing and then re-opening the video.

You will be offered the choice of several players. The <guilabel>Adobe Flash Player</guilabel> is the official plugin, which should offer the best support for videos. Unfortunately, it is proprietary software and so cannot be supported directly by Ubuntu. The Swfdec and Gnash players are not proprietary and so are supported. You may also find them to be more stable (cause fewer problems) than the official player.
