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)
Hey guys,
my question is How to change default video player. I really need to change it beacuse that video player cant open all of the formats, so I can't open snapchat videos. Basically i just want to make snapchat videos work on my phone. Every time when i want to open snapchat videos i get : 'Can't play this video'. So i thought it's video player problem, but even if i got MX Player installed (or other vid players, i tried many of them) i can't open videos on snapchat. Maybe if I could change default video player or disable that LG video player snapchat would use MX Player instead.
Try Default App Manager Lite application. It should help you setting the default app used per file type.
Hi,
for some time now basically all browsers switched to integrated video playback and I hate it.
The integrated player is simply said pure ****. Is there a way to disable the HTML5 player and open all videos in websites in a player app (e.g. MX Player)? I watch videos in fullscreen anyway so there is no problem with an app opening instead of this laggy **** player. (Also MX Player can run in Background while playing Youtube for example).

If it's an embedded Youtube video and you have the Youtube app, you can click on the link on the top portion of the video (or click on the Youtube logo) and it will open in the app.
Yeah, but it's not only about YouTube. A lot of news sites I regularly visit have their own videos.
Hi all, like the title says I'm having trouble figuring out how (or if it's even possible) to make the browser prompt me to choose "Play Online" or "Download" after clicking a video link like it used to on Marshmallow... Assuming I want to play browser videos using MX Player instead of ****ty in-browser HTML5 players, is there anyway I can make this happen on Nougat without having to copy paste the link to MX Player manually?
I use UC and Dolphin Browser, Flash On-Demand + JavaScript On. For MX Player I'm using latest version with the setting to Play Media Links checked. All the same apps+settings I had on marshmallow.
Is this an android nougat issue, a Rom or app issue?? If anyone knows how to disable the built-in dolphin video player that'd be useful info too. Just don't understand why it doesn't work on Nougat, please help a bruva out with a fix or workaround thanks!

I have video taken on the S21. When I transfer the mp4 video file to my desktop, VLC player is not able to play it. The sound comes thru but the screen is blank. Am I missing something? I've never experienced VLC not being able to play a video file.
Resolved: "High efficiency videso" setting was enabled. After disabling it, things are working fine.
