Try to install adobe flash player.
Flv is not flash (swf is).
OP, download a 3rd party player from the market. I recommend: vlc and rockplayer.

Yes it is. Flash video content can be embedded in .flv files or .swf files.
Edit - OP: You can either use one of the players F-R suggested, or if you really want to install/use Flash, look at this thread. There's also a link in that thread for detailed instructions on how install on JB (don't know if it works or not/haven't tried it as I'm not running JB).

Flv is a video format. Flash is a programm.

Yes. I'm aware of what Adobe Flash is. And I'm also aware that .flv is a video format. What you don't seem to be aware of/understand is that Flash video content can be imbedded in file types .flv and .swf. In other words, if I've got Flash installed, I can view content in either format (and as you pointed out you can use 3rd party apps to view .flv files as well).
So if I install Adobe Flash (as opposed to a 3rd party app), I can view Flash content on websites directly in my browser without having to **** around with other apps (I use Firefox & manually installed the Flash apk & confirm this works flawlessly).
Mx player works great too..
Maybe annoying with the ads, but you'll get used to it (unless you wnat to pay for it)
VLC player handles some .flv files. The official version is in beta at the moment but is perfectly usable in my experience.
thanks for replying.
I've installed flash player and now browser supports swf files playing, but not flv. also installed vlc and rockplayer(and many players) as you said but no result. I am trying to play flv videos like http://depositfiles.com/files/xxdod800p . how about playing this video with swf player in browser?

Youtube uses flv right? And that is working?
BSPlayer plays the file but i can only here someone talking(black screen)
I found the solution to this problem. I renamed the format of this video - flv to swf and opened this file in browser and bingo, browser played this flash swf file.

The stock video player on SII is great it can play even flv but that depens on the codec used in the flv. Some flv videos can be played with the stock others flv videos can. You can do two things.
1. (harder way) convert the video to mp4 galaxy s2 format (search on google for galaxy s2 video converter, like imtoo its good and etc.)
2.(easy way) install third party video player from playstore The good ones are BS Player and MX Player, but BS player is better because you can change the theme and it has better user friendly interface. And with BS player you can get popup video and play songs (you can use it like music player)

my apologies if this is wrong section, but i really don't know where to ask.
the stock video player is not very good. does not support many files.
i am sure it play 720p clips but not all file format. even some of my avi file also it cannot play. tells me unsupported file format. but its in avi and its a kelloggs advertisement.
since i am from windows mobile background we used to have a player called coreplayer which plays everything under the sun including file with rmvb and rm format.
is there a video player like that for samsung vibrant android ?
i use winamp for the android audio because the stock ones cant play some of my files properly.
if can, please recommend me a good video player to download from market.
thank you in advance.

Rockplayer and YXPlayer should be good places to start....
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.
Which video format does best work in NOOK tab?
I have tested sideloaded MKV from SDcard and found out it doesn't support at all though official site said it was supported.
Any suggestion for Converter and format???
NB: it's my first Android device..
Are you sure? Because mx video player and the stock player play my .mkv files fine
The stock media player is kind of terrible and doesn't support some (nonstandard) codecs (what was your mkv file encoded in? - i.e. what's inside the .mkv?). Definitely grab MX player and use that - either root the device+grab it from market, or download it, stick it onto your card/internal memory and install it through there. If it doesn't work in MX player then make sure it's not a corrupt file and that it plays on your pc.
Converter please
I convert my video files with quick media converter.. what i want to know is which converter best suit for NOOK standard? I also converted some files to mp4.. some worked. but some didn't..there are a lot of mp4 version to choose.
Thanks.. I will try to install MX player on my NOOK
I use WinX DVD Ripper (vendor is Digiarty) and rip in iPad mode so that I can watch on my Nook or my iPad. The format is .mp4 and they've worked on my Nook Color and Nook Tablet straight from the beginning with no tweaking on the stock video viewer, Mobo Player and mVideo player.
The newer versions of WinX DVD Ripper have an output format specifically for Android tablets but I haven't even messed with it because iPad format works fine for me.
I've seen posts where people have had success using HandBrake too but I've never personally used it...
I use handbrake. But usally mx player works fine

Handbrakeor Super should work perfectly for this purpose. They both are a little full-featured so read a guide before using them -- if you're not experienced in working with multimedia files.
Otherwise, Windows Media Encoder is a very user-friendly and efficient way to convert your videos to a given playback dimension.

Make sure to install the codec apk. It's not included with the download of the player.
MX Video Player Codec [Armv7]
It doesn't ask for the codec when you run MXV for the first time. Once you install the codec, all supported formats will play...
no need
Save yourself hours of time, you don't need to re-encode video if you install MX player.
Convert them to MP4 format, then you can play them freely.

So, I'm trying out various Android market apps on my rooted NT, trying to find a way to play .avi files. These videos easily on my Android phone: drag, drop, and play. But since the NT doesn't naively support .avi (and other common video extension) files, what can I do? Do I have to install codecs or something? Thanks.
Download MX player is the best out there, in the nook tablet works perfectly you can install the codecs for Arm7 only if it tells you to. It support many video formats including AVI by default.

Yeah, I tried that app, along with some of its codecs. No luck. If I take the time to convert files in Handbrake to .mp4, it'll work, but my old laptop takes forever.
Whenever (an it's not often) i get a file that doesn't work in MX Player.. then Mobo player usually does the job... with no extra codecs to install

Yeah, I also tried Mobo, didn't work.
I wonder what's wrong? It can't be the video files, as they play just fine on my Samsung GSII.
Yeah i think you are defiantly doing something wrong..
In MX player and Mobo Player make sure you're using the SW decode for playing the movies..
Apart from that maybe you need to provide a little more info so we can help you troubleshoot. The NT definitely plays AVI and it does it quite well so maybe there's just something a little screwed up in your system..

it worked for me
How can i play .mkv on SXs??

You can try MX Player.
Or search the play store, I'm sure you'll find something there.

MX Player can play all formats may be the file you viewed was error (not properly copied) try another file
Yea MX Player is so legit.
You Can use V Player...which will let you run all types of video format's...I use it....and i am satisfied by its performance
Go for QQ player or Vital player...both free apps in google play store!!
BS Player Lite is also good, allows playback of mkv files in hardware mode (which means Bravia Engine would work)
Standard Movie Player Works
Tried some .mkv files on my Sony Sola and they played using the standard movie player. Still on stock GB .564 system. MoboPlayer also plays these files in the hardware decoding mode.
