Mplayer play perfectly the flv vidéo, you just have to install mozillaplugin or kmplayer. (the only small problem yet is the mandriva version don't support to play it as stream, but after save it on disk it play perfectly) Play online video for linux is easy as soon as you have mplayer+mplayerplugin for browser installed (and use well know codecs like xvid|ogg|h.264|mp3 for example) > > If not, wouldn't it be the moment to remove this problematic > > package ? > > I'll echo other people and ask what exactly makes win32-codecs > more problematic than, say, the Nvidia driver or the Flash > plugin. > > I think the time to get rid of win32-codecs would be when people > stop downloading it.

And remove win32-codecs would mean for me that : urpmi mplayer kmplayer win32-codecs mplayer any_video_audio_file.unknow_format_for_other_player Will stop working. One of the most reason I switched to linux was under mandrake 9.0, it played me every video I had without dealing with WMP codecs install hell...
