Yes, exactly. It currently supports FLV videos from RSS and XSPF
playlists. But the videos must be Flash 8 (or have proper FLV metadata
injected) until I can figure out a work around for the issue mentioned
in this thread. Unfortunately, all the docs on Adobe simply suggest to
either re-encode the videos or inject the metadata...
I'm having a hard time believing that there is just no other work
around. Come on, Adobe!
