Bug Description
I downloaded videos for HyperSpin from EmuMovies. They're all in .flv. As Wah!Cade can't play them, and it uses gstreamer (who can), I went to the code searching the reason.
It turns out that it's a very simple fix. At constants.py, you define:
MOVIE_FILETYPES = ['avi', 'mpg', 'ogg', 'ogv']
so it never asks gstreamer to play them. If I simply change the extension from .flv to .avi, it plays without problem. It would be nice if every format supported by gstreamer were included there. My list is:
MOVIE_FILETYPES = ['avi', 'mpg', 'mpeg', 'ogg', 'ogv', 'mp4', 'mov', 'wmv', 'flv']
