not 100% but my guess would be that your browser / pc system has a problem with the files.... videos are 'difficult' as they can be of several different codecs and not all are supported by the plugins in your browser... so most of it depends on what software you have installed on your browsing PC.

I have added a test .WMV file to the demo server:

dev.webtrees.net/demo-dev/mediaviewer.php?mid=m128&ged=demo

If I click the icon, firefox will download the file and my operating system will play it.

Using Chrome on a Mac, if I click on the demo file, it Flip4Mac asks permission to run the file, then if OK'd, opens in a new Quicktime window.
Safari opens the file immediately in a embedded quicktime window.

Is this San Antonio riverwalk?

I didn't watch the video. It was the first hit when you google "test wmv" ;-)

for me (Windows with Chrome) clicking on the file runs a VLC plugin and plays the file in the browser

For me Windows 7, Chrome and IE10 both fire up "Windows Media Player" in a separate window.

I see you are using the JustBlack Theme.

There was a bug in this theme that prevent some media files to play. It is fixed. So download the latest version of the theme from the add-ons section and I am sure it will solve your problem.
