Cant play video's on my HTC Inspire

Not sure where I should of put this, but I figured someone on the bomb forums could help me out. I am trying to view videos and such on the go I like watching quick looks when I need to kill some time. But ever since I got this HTC Inpire I havnt been able to view videos. I will click to play an nothing will happen. Wanted to know if this was an android problem or something else is up. Thanks all.

Can the HTC run HTML5?  I know the iPhone and iPad run the videos in HTML5 when you click on the image of the video.

Yeah it does.. 
 
HTC Inspire 4G running on 1GHz Snapdragon application processor, 768 MB RAM, supporting Mobile Hotspot, Wi-Fi b/g/n, 3G, HSPA+, Bluetooth connectivity, DLNA, HTML 5 support. Inspire 4G having an interesting feature called ’Physical location awareness’ — phone rings louder when in a pocket or bag and will quiets when taken out.

just using the android app for now

I have a HTC phone with an unusual screen resolution so I cannot play almost all video files, but I found this program that I have been using for other things that you may want to check out. It's called FreeStudio (get it). It has automatic settings for every smartphone other than the inspire, but you could work out which phone has the same same screen size and choose that phone's setting. Try it before you dismiss it anyway.

Just to make sure. You are trying to watch these videos from the mobile site, right?

Firstly, you should check what format the videos in. HTC inspire supports MP4 videos. Therefore, I suggest you to convert videos to mp4 before transferring the videos into the device.
