Free flv player software for linux

FlowPlayer project is a video player for Flash Video in FLV format. The UI is clean and simple.
The player is easy to configure and embed into your home page, site, or blog.
FlowPlayer.swf is a player that is ready to be used out-of-the box. FlowPlayer.html is an example of Web page that uses it. The name of the video file to be loaded by the player is specified in html page in the < object > tags flashvars attribute. This attribute is there in two places (both in < objec t> and < embed > tags) to maximize the number of supported Web browsers.
By default, the player loads the video file from the same location as it loads FlowPlayer.swf. The name of this variable is videoFile and the value should be the name of the video file with or without an extension.
There is also a way to specify a complete URL. This is done using the baseURL variable. When this mechanism is used the video files and FlowPlayer.swf may reside in different locations within the Web server or even in different servers.
autoPlay variable is used to specify whether playback should start immediately when the player has been loaded into the Web browser. Legal values for this parameter are true and false.
Please refer to FlowPlayer.html for descriptions of all HTML parameters used to control the player.

- New FlowPlayer Skinning Kit to make skinning the player better than ever before.

MP is actually a single executable file (mp).

To install MP on your system, just type make and wait for the compilation process to end. Once compiled, you may test MP by typing ./mp . If it is working, and good enough for you, install MP on your system by typing make install. This will copy the binary file mp to the /usr/local/bin directory.

Blind MP3 plays audio files using an AUI (Audible User Interface). Speech synthesis announces where in the filesystem a user is, and controls are used to browse the filesystem and select files to play. It is ideal for people who want an MP3 player and dont want to have to look at it.

In essence, BMP3 is an AUI (Audible User Interface) for playing audio files. It supports selecting single files or directories for playing with an audio file player. Navigation is controlled by keys commonly found on a NumPad and feedback is given by the program using speech synthesis programs such as rsynth or festival. To support real-time operation, if festival is installed all the names of files in the song directory are cached each time BMP3 is started.

MPEG4IP provides an end-to-end system to explore streaming multimedia. The package includes many existing open source packages and the "glue" to integrate them together. This is a tool for streaming video and audio that is standards-oriented and free from proprietary protocols and extensions.

Provided are a live MPEG-4/H.261/MPEG-2/H.263 MP3/AAC/AMR broadcaster and file recorder, command line utilities such as an MP4 file creator and hinter, and an player that can both stream and playback from local file.

Our development is focused on the Linux platform, and has been ported to Windows, Solaris, FreeBSD, BSD/OS and Mac OS X, but it should be relatively straight-forward to use on other platforms. Many of the included packages are multi-platform already. Mp4live only works on Linux.
