Re: Mplayer does not playing FLV files

Whatever you're using to open the audio failed. I've never seen output like this. Are you using Win32 binaries with some sort of direct show filter?

--EDIT--

Answered my own question. Yes, and it's Mplayers direct show filters. At any rate, the stream is failing on the audio, and neither the codecs package nor FFmpeg can handle it.

--EDIT 2--

Why is there a MS audio stream in flv to begin with?

Re: Mplayer does not playing FLV files

Try installing the package codecs

pacman -S codecs

and see if that helps.

If FFplay is playing them, then you'll need to build Mplayer from subversion. It also means that newer FFmpeg builds can play the file natively; It does not support the codecs package.

Re: Mplayer does not playing FLV files

When I play a flash video with mplayer it reports that it is using ffmpeg to decode the flv format. So, install ffmpeg and see if that works.

EDIT

Is ffplay part of ffmpeg? If so, oops.
Also, my mplayer version is from the repos, not svn. SVN shouldn't really be necessary, but I don't know much about the differences.

There are a few subversion Mplayer packages in AUR. These builds should be stable. There's not a whole lot of anything new going into the subversion branch anymore. Do you use gmplayer, the standard Mplayer GUI?

One thing that you can do if you don't feel like building software is simply convert them. If FFplay can play them, then FFmpeg can convert them. I'm not running FFmpeg from the repos, but something like this should work:

ffmpeg -i <your_input_file>.flv -vcodec copy -ab 128k -acodec libmp3lame <your_output_file>.flv

All this is doing is changing the audio track to mp3.
