Maybe it can't download the file? Some files can't be downloaded onto the iPhone directly. You can download them onto your device using DropBox or Cloud Drives since they're optimized.

i don't want to download them anymore, because when i try to view them it always asked to download. Now that i uninstalled every cydia app that made that possible it just say's 'cant download the file' instead of opening it in default video player.

Well if you have Safari Download Manager, all you had to do was tap on 'View' under the 'Download' button that pops up. That'll let you view them. And not all videos are supported by the iPhone itself.
