Looks like you have the correct codce (because it plays in WMplayer)
Goto the registry under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.flv and add "Content
Type="video/flv" and "PerceivedType"="Video"

Thanks, this did work for /me/. (both for .flv and for .m4v (whatever
whacky format that might be - but I've got a codec for it so who cares).

Monitoring this group hasn't been for nothing, I'd never have guessed
this in a million years. (I tried forced opening in WMP and ticking the
'unrecognized format, do you want to try to play it anyway/do not ask
again' box, but that made no difference at all)

Once I realised I had to add as token value and not as key, it worked
perfectly. (I did have to close and restart MCE though.)

PS: Is it policy in this group to top-post?

It is not policy.

It just turns out that way sometimes.
You will find mixed style in here.

Some will top post, sometimes do in-line if the comments fit better.

And if the last post was a bottom post then a bottom post often follows for
clarity.
