Hello Onyx,
I haven't had any problems with the video player, just hit the play button. I do pause it after the video starts, and let the video load before I start it again.

There is another forum where you can let the staff know about bugs and problems. One of the moderators may move your thread to that one, but they will let you know about it.

Let us know if you figure it out, or if you're still having trouble. Enjoy the rest of the weekend, and I'm sure someone will help you figure it out.
