Do you need it to play in Windows Media Player?

Nope because thats streaming file...and this kind of streaming is not checked by microsoft and therefor it can't be done...sorry mate, no way of succes in my point of view just use vlc and have an internet connection...

But why do you want to play it with WM???

Of course it works 8)

1.) Install the flv splitter from: http://inmatrix.osnn.net/osflvsplitter.1.0.0.1_nt.exe
2.) Get ffdshow's official beta 1 from: http://ffdshow.info

* You might want to uninstall any other codec packs beforehand, ffdshow already incorporates almost any video and audio codec and in a much more simpler way than those monstrous codec packs. images/smilies/puke.gif

Now flv's should play for you in WMP - and any other player infact. images/smilies/biggrin.gif

It's not streaming, but you still can't make it work with WMP. There's no codec you can just install that I'm aware of.

You can convert it to a format that WMP can play, but you'll lose quality in the process.

WMP blows, use VLC like everyone else has suggested.
