Quick Look for .flv in Mavericks?

I just noticed this problem today. FLV files have no preview, and when I try to open in quicktime, it converts the file to a .MOV file. I have no clue why this is happening.

I also noticed this problem today... :/

me too. Any suggestion?

This is very annoying, I can't seem to fix it. I've reinstalled, cleared all my plugins, updated/downgraded other plugins. nothing.

I use flv files quite a bit. It would be unfortunate if we lose the ability to view these files in the finder or quick look. I hope someone finds a solution. I'll keep trying to figue it out, too!

Same problem, but with AVI as well.

Same problem,

flv, AVI, wmv.

All my Quicklook Plugings gets ingnored.

I hope Apple fix this Bug soon

hey, i have discovered the same problem myself. However, i have another program that allows me to watch all the other video files that i have, that AREN'T .mp4 or .mov files. Its called MPlayerX and you can download it here for macs:

it didnt need an update as far as im concerned and it plays all of my files really great! Hope this helps everyone!

Does it allow you to have multiple .flv files open and on screen at once?

Mplayer is "quirky".
VLC is much better at FLV playback. It works with Mavericks (I watch movies all night) I'm able to open mutliple windows, but the sound ONLY works in the foremost window.

Hi all:

Same problem Here, i think it must be something related to Perian.

What do you think?

Same for .mp4. Perian is no longer functional in Mavericks. Apparently Apple made some rather major change that broke it and makes it unlikely that the problem will be fixed. If I had know about this before upgrading I would have stayed with Mountain Lion.

Someone claimed that Quick Look in Maverick no longer uses QuickTime so you can say goodbye to video previews in the finder, except for mpeg-4 variants. Quicklook will still work on .mov, .mpg, and .mp4 files since those are in a format native to QuickTime. The new frameworks replacing QuickTime don't currently support plugin codecs, so no equivalent of Perian can be developed until that is fixed.

Maby its posible to copy quicklook from 10.8 to mavericks?

Unfortunatey JWKessler is right. Beginning with Lion, Apple has slowly been shifting from the QTKit framework which allows plugins to the AVKit framework which does not. The change in mavericks is that Quicktime X now uses the AVKit by default, which is why quick look no longer works with non-Apple codecs. However, although Quicktime X is AVKit based, Quicktime 7 which still works perfectly and will still give you the full range of codec support. Heres an article about it:
