You need a media plugin in your browser, not just a media player on your system.

You may need both (and often do) need both. Google Chrome is Google Chrome... my solution was for Firefox. Best bet is to ask Google how to best do this.

Chrome can handle SOME HTML5 video without issue.... but not old style embedded windows media player (except maybe on windows).... you may want to switch browsers.
