All .flv files work when using the DVD player (this is why youtube script uses it for playing all youtube streams)
Can somebody make FLVs open with the DVD Player by default.

I think you're right. I checked the code and noticed that Internet streams with an HTTP Content-Type of "video/x-flv" or "video/flv" are played by the DVD Player by default. So it seems reasonable to conclude that ".flv" files should default to the DVD Player as well.
elupus, any objections?

hmm.. mplayer should play those fine, atleast when demuxed with lavf.. but sure, since we already use it for internet streams it's probably better for now.
and yet again, it shows we need to have a way to configure this stuff in an better way than hardeded in xbmc..... will have a look at it after feature freeze is released.

i was thinking about that as well. we could simply allow an override mechanism via advancedsettings.xml like is done for media file extensions. in GetCores(), we check for a user configured player before running thru the normal routine (so that "play with" is still populated.)
<dvdplayer>.flv|.mpg</dvdplayer>

should handle mime types too. And I'd rather have a proper xml that's there all the time, not only for overrides. I'd like to get rid of most of the code in getplayers.
