• Flv Web Player

'I'm a Windows user. I recently downloaded an instructional video from YouTube that was in.flv format. When I tried to play it on Windows Media Player, it prompted that the video file has a.flv extension that is not recognized.

Windows Media Player then asked me if I still want to play the file and when I clicked yes, an error message popped up saying file type or codec may not be recognized by the player. Can WMP play FLV files? How can I play FLV on Windows Media Player?' The FLV format was designed to share video clips over the Internet. This popular video format is the standard for major video sharing platforms such as YouTube, Metacafe, Vevo and more, so if you download a video from the internet, it is likely it is in the.FLV format.

In spite of its growing popularity, however, FLV is not supported by most mobile devices and, even if you want to play FLV video on your PC, you would still have to search online for suitable codecs and properly install them. In this article, we'll share 3 useful solutions to help you open and play FLV files on Windows Media Player.Method 1. Install an.FLV CodecWindow Media Player uses codecs to play media files. A codec is a computer program capable of encoding or decoding a digital data stream or signal.

While codecs of many formats are inbuilt in WMP, the codec of FLV (Flash Video) needs to be downloaded and installed by the user to play files. The process of installing a codec is relatively simple and can also be applied to add or install other codecs to WMP as well. After successfully installing the codec, you will be able to smoothly run files with.flv extension on WMP.Installing.flv codecs, however, may not be for everyone and this method does not come without its drawbacks.
