FLV Player 1.01 released

Thursday 15 January 2004  –  Filed under: FLV Player  –  No Comments

I just updated the FLV Player to version 1.01. This standalone Flash Video player now supports the new .flv format, which, apart from giving you better compression quality, allows the Media Components to show the length of a video file. This enables you to ’scrub’ .flv files.

There are three versions available of FLV Player:

• see here for links.

Next improvement on schedule is showing the creation date and audio / video bitrates in the player while playing an .flv file.

Many thanks to Toon Puttemans for bringing the new version of the media components to my attention and helping me out with testing this new version.

Please note, there seems to be a small problem with some .flv files when played with the new Media Components. Steps to reproduce (sometimes):

• open an FLV file in FLV Player…
• …scrub the video to the end, then halfway back…
• …now press ‘play’…
• …the video is played fast-forward, instead of at normal speed. this happens randomly, it seems.

FLV Player is only available for the Windows platform.
