No longer developed

PlayFLV is no longer updated by its developer - the last version here is from 2008. It may still run, but it gets no fixes for newer Windows versions or formats.

Maintained alternatives that may do the same job:

With this plugin, you can watch downloaded Flash Video in the well-known media player included with the Windows operating system.

The application is completely free and open source and it uses a low amount of system resources.

Because PlayFLV creates file associations, you don’t need to worry about anything; FLV files will be open like any other video files, directly in Windows Media Player.

Moreover, you will enjoy the same playback options as with any other video file type: skipping, zooming and full screen among others.

In case you don’t manage to play FLV files in Windows Media Player, even if you have installed this plugin, try installing or re-installing FFDShow and seeing is FLV1 is checked in the configuration.

BE CAREFUL. This can cause problems on PCS. Rather download and use VLC player, much smaller, user friendly and works well.

Stay away from this codec installation. Installs Babylon on your PC and it will override your search engine.

Messed up my PC completely, causing it to crash when installing PlayFLV, which stopped when 90% installation was completed; thereafter I experience problems on start-up.
