Hi Nadeem,
You will have to install codecs in order to play .flv files in Windows Media Player as .flv is not a support Windows Media Player file format. Have a look at the following link for more information:

To allow WMP to play FLV files, you need to install the Flash Video Splitter and FFDShow .
