Why can’t I play videos on Linux / Ubuntu?

In order to play our videos on Ubuntu (and some other Linux operating systems), you will need the following packages:

Chromium:
chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra

Firefox:
gstreamer0.10-plugins-good
streamer0.10-ffmpeg

If you’re using a Linux OS other than Ubuntu and this doesn’t do the trick, we recommend reaching out to the OS community for assistance.
