FLV Files not streaming on IIS6

IIS 6 doesn’t have a default MIME type for .flv videos, so embedded flash files don’t stream, because IIS does not understand them.

It’s easy to fix however:

1. On the Windows 2003 server, open the Internet Information Services Manager.
2. Expand the Local Computer Server.
3. Right-click the local computer server and select Properties.
4. Select the MIME Types tab.
5. Click New and enter the following information:
   • Associated Extension box: .FLV
   • MIME Type box:flv-application/octet-stream
6. Click OK.
7. Restart the World Wide Web Publishing service.

Job done!
