[MPlayer-users] Can't play FLV files

[Olivier Jacques]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to play flv files from youtube, but I'm experiencing an
issue: it seems that mplayer can't recognize how flv is muxed (getting
"TiVo file format detected.")
Steps to reproduce:
1. Getting the video locally: "wget
http://youtube.com/get_video.php?video_id=iVI6xw9Zph8 -O out.flv"
2. Playing the video: "mplayer -v -vo null -ao null out.flv"
/usr/local/src/VDRconf/scripts# mplayer -v -vo null -ao null out.flv
I attached the output below.

Does anybody know how to force flv using libavcodecs?
Thanks a lot,
Olivier.
