Hello Drugo,

Are you able to select the VLC media player in "Open with" instead?

In addition, in VLC media player, you can click on Tools (menu bar) and Preferences, then do what's in the screenshot below to set FLV to open with VLC media player.

What ZIP file are youy referring to??

If you mean from the link below, then no it will not work since .flv files do not have a program associated to open with by default in Windows.

Default File Type Associations - Restore

Were you able set VLC as the default for FLV files using the second part of my post above through the Tools -> Preferences menu?
