Since already has uploaded files and stored the path in the database, the remaining tasks are: make sure the stored path is a web-accessible URL (or serve the file via PHP), ensure the file uses a browser-friendly container/codecs, and confirm server limits and MIME types allow serving video. FLV is a Flash container and won’t play natively in modern browsers. Convert FLV to MP4 (H.264 video + AAC audio) for best compatibility, or use a legacy Flash player if conversion is not possible.

A simple HTML5 embed (after converting to MP4) is the most direct option:

<video controls width="640" height="360">
  <source src="/uploads/video.mp4" type="video/mp4">
  Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>

To convert FLV to a web-friendly MP4 with ffmpeg (preserves quality and enables progressive streaming):

ffmpeg -i input.flv -c:v libx264 -preset medium -crf 23 -c:a aac -b:a 128k -movflags +faststart output.mp4

See ffmpeg documentation for options: https://ffmpeg.org/

If uploaded files are stored outside the web root or access control is required, serve them with PHP. A minimal example (no range support) is:

<?php
$path = '/path/to/uploads/video.mp4';
if (!file_exists($path)) exit;
header('Content-Type: video/mp4');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($path));
readfile($path);

For seeking and reliable playback, implement HTTP Range support in the script or use server features like X-Sendfile/X-Accel-Redirect. Also verify PHP limits (upload_max_filesize, post_max_size, max_execution_time), file permissions (e.g., 0644 on files, 0755 on folders), and correct MIME types (video/mp4, video/x-flv). For more on the HTML5 element and attributes consult the MDN docs: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/video

Notes: Flash-based players (JW Player, Flowplayer) historically played FLV, but Flash is deprecated—conversion to MP4 + HTML5 is the recommended, future-proof path.
