Is there a trick to getting FLV files to play? The literature states FLV support and after trying about 50 different FLV files, I can't get any of them to play.

 

Thanks in Advance.

Kudos!

Anyone have any idea how to get FLV files to play? The manual (page 19) and some online reviews say that it will play FLV files but I've yet to get mine to play any. If this unit can't play FLV files then it is going to be returned.

Most seem to work for me, although I don't have a large collection. This morning I tried downloading a series of the same clip from YouTube with different available file sizes/resolutions. One file did not work after 2 downloads, others did. The clip was "Seriously Spooky - Aled Evans". The 7.4 MB file did not play on Seagate Theater but did not the PC.

ok. So still no word from Seagate on why FLV's will NOT play on FA Theater+ or if there is some magic formatting that needs to happen in the creation of the FLV file.

 

I hope this is a firmware issue. If so, It should NOT have been listed in the product literature, but introduced as new format support in whatever firmware release they offer (if any, if ever).

 

 

Kudos!
