[req] free .FLV lister plugin

[winflowers]

Now a lot of video on the internet are in FLV format, for example, Youtube and Google Video. I hope I could view these videos with TC lister plugin. Currently it is only possible using SWFLister which is a shareware. Is there any free lister plugin can do this job? Thank you!

Does the SWFView plugin (freeware) not run .flv files? If not, AFAIK MPlayer can play .flv files, so perhaps MPlayer4TC plugin is for you.

What you need is a directshow filter and splitter for the FLV format. According to my reasearch, the K-Lite codec pack should do what you need, but I haven't tested myself.

See:

K-Lite codec pack is illegal, in case you don't know. It contains unlicensed full versions of encoders.
Besides that it's not a good idea to pollute OSes with a cocktail of unpredictable codecs and filters.

Check this site, it contains a bookmarklet for YouTube and enough info:
http://1024k.de/bookmarklets/video-bookmarklets.html

In order to make it work in TC:
1. Install ffdshow, excellent Direct Show-filter.
2. After the installation start "Video decoder configuration" in startmenu/ffdshow and set "Codecs -> FLV1" to "libavcodec".
3. Install mmedia- (add "flv" to list of supported extensions in mmedia.ini) or Media Show-plugin.

You can also play .flv files with WMP, MPC or other Direct Show players after installation of ffdshow. MPlayer (like ND has told above) and VLC play these files out-of-the-box.

I have tested FlashView, SWF view and SWFlister lite1.5, and all of them don't surpport FLV film. Finaly I decide to use MPlayer to play FLV videos via MPlayer4TC plugin. It's great. No external decoder needed.

Thanks everybody for the comments!

It is actually an external program, and not a plugin, but have you ever tried FLV Player by Martijn De Visser? It is very good, IMHO.

You can find it at: http://www.martijndevisser.com/blog/article/flv-player-updated

Sometimes I wonder how much percent of the people who answer in a thread have read it before.
You can sit down and collect all info and people just choose to ignore it, that's great.

BTW, in case you don't know:
with the help of this site one can download original videos (NOT flv) from some video-sites. Though youtube's downloads are still flv...

P.S.: if this link is illegal, delete the post.

Sorry, I have not tried the codecs found by Google, I just listed what it found. I didn't find any other FLV directshow filters - do you know any?

@ghisler:

Check my posting above, it contains all info. ffdshow includes one!

The latest ffdshow builds, for example available here:
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=173941 have activated FLV1 filter directly after installation, so no manual adjustment is necessary. But as these newer builds are experimental and not expected to be rock stable I hadn't mentioned them.

Have you expected anything else? For sure not, eheh!

I wonder if your previous remark on not reading the thread was referred to my post. If this is the case, I can tell you that I read it very carefully !!!

I know that winflowers asked for a plugin, but my post just meant:

"I don't know, by now, of any plugin that satisfies your request, but if you don't mind an external viewer specifically built for FLV files, this can be what you need. It is freeware, too. I do know this is not what you asked for; it is just an alternative."

Just in order to humbly share what little knowledge I had. I didn't expect to be greeted by dumb arrogance. If this is the way you treat someone who is trying to give a hand.....
