.flv wont work
 

My mplayer wont play .flv files. Does anyone else have this problem, or know why it won't work?

Re: .flv wont work
 

How did you test that? Which mplayer? What platform?

Re: .flv wont work
 

well i went to downloadyoutubevideos.com and there it told me to change the video to .FLV and I did but it doesn't work on the built in mediaplayer. It says Media codec not supported.

Re: .flv wont work
 

The internal media player doesn't support flv. However mplayer supports it. Why don't you just use mytube or Canola?

Re: .flv wont work
 

does flv work on canola? on my one it doesn't. on Mplayer it has a ping like you watshing slide-show.

Re: .flv wont work
 

Canola Youtube plugin downloads flv and plays it. I don't know if the scanner indexes .flvs though.

Also what resolution are you trying to play?

Re: .flv wont work
 

Were do you get the canola plugin? And I am not sure what resolution I am playing...

Re: .flv wont work
 

i can play a .flv from mplayer, but canola does not see it...
i guess it is the indexing issue mentioned above.

Re: .flv wont work
 

I just renamed all my flvs to "moviename.flv.MPG" by just using mv from x-term (or you could use the emel filemanager that's in extras, I think?)

Re: .flv wont work
 

Thanks for the help but I an still wondering where to get the canola youtube plugin...

Re: .flv wont work
 

Extras repository / Canola website.

Re: .flv wont work
 

One last question... When i tried to save youtube video it said I have to complete the download... What does this mean?

Re: .flv wont work
 

The first line should get to the end :)

Re: .flv wont work
 

k, thats it... thanks everyone

Re: .flv wont work
 

Hmmmm. . . I seem to have a similar problem. I've installed the canola youtube player, but canola doesn't seem to find the flv file I saved to my n800. Am I misunderstanding the capabilities of canola? Should it, with the youtube player installed, be able to play flv saved locally on the tablet?

Re: .flv wont work
 

Cmdowns :

no, it's there on youtube plugin menu : last item (scroll down) local videos.
It's going to be scanned by the library on the next build. sorry for that it was just time needed to integrate the support on the scanner. But is playable locally fmor inside the youtube plugin :)
