Hi sailors, there is almost all included in ultimate codec pack on warehouse, but there is still no support for flv format in gstreamer. This should be released as well. Am I not right? I have all codec related apps from warehouse, none of which still has flv support. Please do vote up if you want to be watching flv movies on your jolla like I do

I have been able to get flv and even wmv videos running on my jolla, and for those that would want a fix, let me try and give a brief answer to my own question, hope it is allowed.
Get Ultimate codec pack from openrepos.net and don't forget to enable sailfish_lib repository before installing the codec pack so you will get all dependencies. After that LLsvplayer will play most files but not flv and wmv. Download and install MX Player android app version 1.7.38 (ARMv7 NEON) from https://sites.google.com/site/mxvpen/
Virtually all video formats will play successfully in the player. Hope this is useful to Sailors

As a workaround you are able to watch flv files with LLs vPlayer.

DameCENO ( 2015-11-06 18:00:39 +0300 )editWell that's strange, because for me it is playing flv files without problems.
Alex ( 2015-11-08 11:04:08 +0300 )editVery strange indeed, can I have the full cocktail of codecs you installed from openrepos? maybe I missed one
DameCENO ( 2015-11-08 11:06:27 +0300 )editI have instaled the following codecs from OpenRepos:
I think the following packages were installed automatically by any lib from above list:
- libvpx
- opus
- libdca
- faad2
- a52dec
