Software review :
FLV Player is a freeware, open source application that is able to play Flash FLV files. Starting this new version it has been added "loop button" in order to improve the support for the RTMP streams. If you are looking for an application to play FLV files, this is the perfect tool for you and it may be very useful since you can view many FLV files without any requirements for an installed Flash IDE on your system. When you will install this application, you will have the optional FLV association that can come in handy when you will double click any FLV file - this will open and it will play the file in the player. This is the easy way to play any .flv files ( Flash movies/videos ) that you download them from popular web sites like YouTube and many other video sites. This FLV Player is small, it remembers position on screen at the next launch of the program, it can play url's streams and local files and it doesn't contain, viruses, adware or spyware and it's also Windows free.
Editor's review :
There aren't so many things that we can discuss about this nice program. FLV Player is not for all people, for example most people probably won't need more than a web browser and the well known macromedia plug in ( flash ) for watching flash videos on the Internet. However, for experienced users or for those that are looking for a freeware application that is being able to expand the control when viewing an flash video, FLV Player is a free solution. So what FLV Player can do is to allo you to navigate forward and backward in a flash movie/video and also to allow you to play any flash video "in a loop". You can also go in the full screen mode. Overall, this FLV player is nothing more than a small software that will play .flv files without having any browser with a flash plugin installed on your system. Since many original .flv video/movies are very small, this .flv player has the option to use 2X larger or the full screen mode which makes it a perfect free .flv player. If you are going to search on the Internet any issues for this application, there's almost a guarantee that you won't find any bad reviews for this .flv player program, altough we have only one small complaint, regarding the automatically resize option to the size of the movie frame. However, we are confident that this small incovenient shall be "fixed" in future versions of FLV Player.
Other notes :
For your consideration, we recommend you to uninstall first, any previous versions of FLV Player since you can't install it over the latest version and also it has to be done manually. Since we don't know yet about any viruses included in .flv files or any other forms of malware, FLV Player can be considered pretty secure when you are using it. But that's not a reason for trusting any kind of software. For example, who thinked for a second at .mp3 files that could contain viruses. And bad people developed such viruses, Trojans and many other forms of malware. That's why we recommend you to use a decent antivirus software and keep it updated. Using an anti spyware, anti adware tool is also a very good ideea. Keep your system protected and defend yourself against any .flv infected videos - if they will ever exist...but never say never.
