.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?

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?

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?

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?)

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