| 1155772 | 2010-11-23 00:45:00 | The Plugin from here (playflv.com) 300kb allows .flv to play Via windows media Player, not to sure about media center though. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1155773 | 2010-11-23 01:41:00 | After installing the plugin and verifying that WMP can play FLVs, you need to tweak the registry to make WMC show them. Copy and paste the following code into Notepad and save as "flv.reg": Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.flv] "PerceivedType"="video" "Content Type"="video/x-flv" Working just fine on Vista SP2 here :thumbs: |

| 1155777 | 2010-11-23 07:30:00 | Install a codec pack that supports it. Just make sure you dont install one of these fake ones, that installs a trojan | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1155778 | 2010-11-23 07:32:00 | tried the flv.reg but found it returned the following error The specified file is not a registry script. You can only import registry files from within the registry editor Make sure you're copying the entire thing in that box, especially the first line. I made that mistake while testing the fix :blush: |
