It worked perfectly on my system, although there was

buffering delay.
The image server (amane) is seriously overloaded. Our squids do not
cache files over 600KBytes, so when amane suffers video and audio
become mostly useless. I have solved this for the in-browser player
by setting up a seperate squid which is only used by the in browser
player. I've preloaded it with all of our videos and the most popular
audio.
Performance should now be very good.
I rather enjoyed the orchestra, although my first
choice
for an example would have been a much shorter selection, like, say:

I wanted something with sound. :)
I've fully populated
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Video
and every video has a play in browser link.
We only have about 600 videos on commons, so there is still plenty of
room to grow. :)
A lot of our videos aren't even used in the projects, even though
there are interesting and informative.. like
