Am I missing the Flash Player? What am I missing here?
Do you have ffmpeg installed? It is not available from Fedora for
license reasons, but you can get it from rpmfusion.
Jerry raises a good point. Fedora, by design, does not include any
packages that are patent or license encumbered. So, if the codec being
used by the videos that you are trying to watch is proprietary (say
h264), then it will not be included in Fedora. Does this mean that
Fedora users wear hair shirts, and don't watch such videos? :-) No.
There are repositories that package such software for Fedora, but
usually in jurisdictions where it is legal to do so. Thus
rpmfusion.org (and others).
Actually, there's openh264 available in Fedora (by default?) for use in
Firefox to play h264 videos.
