Play FLV files in Windows Media Player

Currently, the a large amount general software found on any Windows PC will most likely be doing double duties by playing host to a countless of plugins. However this is one area where Microsoft’s Windows Media Player truly lacks, which is unexpected since its one of the most broadly used media player software in the planet! Microsoft have provided a few plugins over the years but these are few and far between, and so in order to show some add-on love to WMP, PlayFLV takes center stage. In contrast to the player that it’s designed for, PlayFLV is a free and open source plugin that allows WMP to playback FLash Video files (FLV). Unless you’ve been living underneath your sofa, you’ll know that FLV is the most popular video format out on the web right now.
