would be nice...

i just came in to post the same idea, but you got there already!

[SiW]

ffmpeg / mplayer can decode flv (flash video), so would this be an easy addition to xbmc? i know very little about the backend, though obviously i'm familiar with xbmc development (cpblobs, woo!

note that afaik this has nothing to do with swf, so i don't think the two topics should be lumped together.

fyi; ffmpeg contains a new utility (in its cvs) called "cws2fws" that convert compressed flash-files to uncompressed ones,  which can be than played back with ffmpeg. maybe it could be ported to mplayer (or into a library/dll for xbmc?)?

[HarshReality]

yet another wonderful idea to expand xbmc's media capabilities! of course if links makes it in then we'de have a choice! hooray for democracy!

power to da people!!

[theni9e]

awesome idea, swf has been been a missing feature or both xbmp and xbmc... would love to see some functionality!

i want to know if its possible to play flv files on xbmc and if not, how much work will it take to create some sort of codec for flv playback?

there are many tools for converting flv to avi and vice-versa. there are also many players that can play .flv files.

given that ffmpeg supports it, it should already be possible.. (depends a little on when it was added to ffmpeg). mplayer uses ffmpeg to play the codec, i suppose it might have some problems demuxing it thou.

i tested local playback of that file mentioned earlier, and that works, its a ffmpeg flash video

but http streaming does not work elupus

[djIsoMetric]

i think it would be great if you could put intergrate a flash player so we could watch flash animations and play flash games

[thor918]

one would need source for this.
how many open source flash players have you seen latly?
most of them that exists supports at the best flash version 4.
and what version do you think most of the flashes animation that is on the net requiers?

here is one open source that may be of interest.

Has there been any changes as to whether or not flv is supported by XBMC. If so how do I add the codecs and extensions? thanks

[pike]

there's a Youtube script included with the t3ch FAT build
Youtube uses .flv videos

So I'd say it's working
