At 87kbytes total, that file wouldn't be a very interesting "video".

MPlayer can't play SWF animations, or in this case, SWF
applications, like media players.  You need to find the actual URL of
the .FLV video, and supply that to MPlayer directly.

And next time, start a new thread, don't reply to an existing topic.
