Though I have loaded flash (initially 10.2 and now 10.3) and can play a flash movie from YouTube, I cannot play the downloaded version of the same movie - there does not seem to be an association to the .flv filetype.
Any solutions other than transcoding to mp4?
Thanks

There are flv players in the market. Simply search for flv player.
I have loaded quite a few .m4v 720p videos from my collection (all my videos are encoded for use with AppleTV) and I have been able to play them just fine on the flyer but I would love to find out how to have these videos appear in the 'Watch' tab/widget.
Is there a way?
How do I play avi movies from my Windows XP computer using DLNA on my phone? It always says "The media file cannot be played". I have a feeling that has to to with the fact the default video player can't play avi files, but is there a way or a hack to pop-up a menu with all my video players so I can choose one that can play avi files? Also, on the subject of DLNA, how can I copy my music, photos, videos to my Windows XP computer? I always get "Copy to media server is not supported by remote server". Thanks.
Does anyone knows how to play Divx/Xvid videos trought DLNA default app ?
i have an home server (debian Wheezy) that offers some services.
I have MiniDLNA .24 Daemon on it, that permits my Samsung TV to play videos trought DLNA service.
I had an i9000 by Samsung that could also play videos or music trought DLNA.
Now with Xperia S i have a DLNA app by default (connected devices), with this app i can browse my DLNA resources but once i try to view a resource (jpg, mp3, avi or mkv) i always get an "Unrecognized Format" error...
why ?
is there a better DLNA browsing APP ?
i found BSPlayer, with that i can browse my SMB share on the server and play the media, but it's NOT DLNA... it uses SMB shares, that i would like to switch off sice i didn't have Windows machines at home...
Neither I could play videos and music from my synology NAS, but I could with BubbleUPnP...
It seems the default DLNA app does not recognise any alternative players on the phone.
I installed moboplayer app (for Divx/...) and UPnPlay app. UPnP works similar to the default DLNA app, but when you select a Divx video it allows you to choose where to play it, for example using moboplayer.
You can even push the video to a DLNA player, like WD live TV or DLNA compatible TV.

Thanks, i got mad trying to define a working DLNA profile with serviio instead of MiniDlna for this phone, but it seems like the default player only work with MP2 streams (DVD format) even the x264 didn't work... it's really bad...
i will try UPnPlay, and if it works i will throw away serviio and restore MiniDlna wich is better for my Samsung TV and my sanity
Try 'VPLAYER'.....
I use mediaHouse as "browser" instead, and Vplayer to play the movies...

I can't open any MP4s I downloaded, they show up as "can't open file", and when accessed through root explorer, the media player crashes.
Help appreciated.
Maybe use another media player. I'm using MX player for videos and it plays everything.
