i want to know if its possible to play flv files on xbmc and if not, how much work will it take to create some sort of codec for flv playback?

there are many tools for converting flv to avi and vice-versa. there are also many players that can play .flv files.

given that ffmpeg supports it, it should already be possible.. (depends a little on when it was added to ffmpeg). mplayer uses ffmpeg to play the codec, i suppose it might have some problems demuxing it thou.

i tested local playback of that file mentioned earlier, and that works, its a ffmpeg flash video

but http streaming does not work elupus
