try to install the ubuntu-restricted-extras package (if its legal in
your country), while totem (teh default video player) will ask you to
install single codecs, rhythmbox doesnt have that capability so it just
doesnt play if a codec (i.e. mp3 support) is missing ...

the ubuntu-restricted-extras package will install all codecs (and more)
and should enable you to play all content you can find online in the
default installed players.
