What does "press play" mean? Here, on a Windows PC, pressing Alt+A does play the video.

I'm guessing that the original reporter might mean that pressing the play button in the timeline controls won't make the movie play in the clip editor.
I was confused by this behavior too at first and found out you have to click the "Playback" dropdown and check "Clip Editors" to make it work. Using the Alt+A shortcut while the mouse pointer is over the movie window will always make the movie play.

thanks everyone for investigating so quickly, the play button only plays the timeline but not the video however using a PC keyboard I tried ALT-A and I am now able to use the playback, thx willi, I guess this is more me not knowing that much about the software
