Hello gurus,
mpv fails to play FLV videos, regardless of what output driver is used. I have yet to find a FLV video it will play. VLC also fails to play the video. Kaffine and Xine play the video correctly.
When I do the test, I am launching mpv via SMPlayer.
Also, when playing the video directly from the command line, it fails with:
tux@TuxBox:~/ mpv "/home/tux/IWI Tavor (TAR-21) Assult Rifle.flv"
Playing: /home/tux/IWI Tavor (TAR-21) Assult Rifle.flv
**Failed to recognize file format. **
The test video was downloaded from YouTube. I searched for it on YouTube, and it appears it no longer exists there.
Is there something I should have installed? Am I doing something wrong?
Please help.
Thanks In Advance,
Max
