How do you make a Video File Texture in 2.81?

Question

I cannot seem to find any updated information on this.

I am trying to make a plane that is a video file. For the life of me I cannot figure out how. I applied the video file as a texture, set the amount of frames and the start frame, but all that Blender will show is the first frame of the video. It will not play it.

All I can find about this is old out dated tutorials. I follow them as best I can considering the UI is totally different now, but nothing seems to work.

Every video file I try just shows the first frame and that is it.

What am I doing wrong?

EDIT:

Using Cycles Render Engine

Here is my node set up:
