How should I use the FLV manifest endpoint?

Fetch manifest JSON to pin fixture names, sizes, hashes, and MIME expectations in automated tests.

Why does this format have a category-specific hub?

A category-specific hub keeps assumptions aligned with practical workflows and related format alternatives.

Format reference

FLV Format Hub

FLV (.flv) is the Flash Video container once ubiquitous for web streaming. It houses H.263/VP6 video and MP3 audio. Use sample .flv files to test legacy streaming servers, RTMP ingestion, and player compatibility.

Implementation Notes

Keep implementation notes explicit.

Use the manifest endpoint for deterministic fixture selection in CI, then validate MIME/type detection against actual parser output.

If this format appears in multiple categories, prefer category-specific hub pages to keep test assumptions aligned with real usage.
