Hello all,
I have downloaded a couple of episodes on Python to view on my
commute. When I launch the downloaded file, the Flash 9 viewer
launches but there is no episode. What should I be using to view the
episodes?
Hi Chris. The FLV videos should play in most open-source players - which OS are you using?
On Linux and Windows you can use VLC (video-lan-client) and mplayer. On Mac I think that QuickTime supports FLV files. The only annoyance is that on Windows with Windows Media Player it won't play FLV files (at least - it didn't the last time I checked).
Personally I use VLC on Windows as it plays just about anything and mplayer on Ubuntu as it works nicely on Linux (but it only has a graphical user interface on linux, not Windows, and command-line usage on Windows is a pain!).
You certainly won't have to buy a viewer - plenty of free alternatives will work for you regardless of your OS.
Ian.

Hi Ian,
VLC did the trick. Thanks for the tutorials. I have been dabbling in
Python for a few months. I finally feel like I am actually learning
something.
All the best.
