Display yes but video will not play...

I added additional agent:

For MS IE 7 and Windows Vista (this was in the beginning):
Description: Internet Explorer 7 (Windows Vista)
User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0)
App Name: Microsoft Internet Explorer
App Version: 4.0 4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0)
Platform: Win32


For MS IE 6 and Windows XP:
Description: Internet Explorer 6 (Windows XP)
User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)
App Name: Microsoft Internet Explorer
App Version: 4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)
Platform: Win32

There can be also added Windows 2000 as Windows NT 5.0 and so on, look also here about Windows 
versions as NT - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Windows#Timeline_of_releases

User agent plugin is available for Firefox at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59
