problem with flv file (libaviplay & gmerlin)
Brought to you by:

When I try to play the linked flv files with pix_film, I get only green garbage.
I guess it is playing it with libaviplay, since I see the following on the console:
pix_film:: quicktime support
pix_film:: libmpeg3 support
pix_film:: libaviplay support
[pix_film]: opening /home/teo/lavoro/nico_baixes/new/test_pages/proj1/video/pitchalt.flv with format 1908
[pix_film]: ...

quicktime failed[pix_film]: ...
MPEG3 failed[pix_film]: ...
[pix_film]: loaded file: ......./pitchalt.flv with 2147483647 frames (320x213) at 0.000000 fps
There's no error message.
The file plays fine on other players.
I guess the issue may be in libaviplay itself...

i checked with "aviplay" (which comes in the 'avifile-player' package and is a cmdline player for libavifile/ilbaviplay) and indeed it is unable to play this file.
so your problem seems to be with libavifile
unfortunately, the file also does not play with the GMERLIN backend, which i would expect to work (esp, since the standalone player 'gmerlin' _can_ play this file)
so there _are_ issues with this file and Gem's playback capabalities.
i checked again, and current Gem (at least the development version) CAN play the given flv using the GMERLIN backend.
