I play videos downloaded from websites like the ones you mention with
totem (.flv and .mp4).
The Requires would be totem and gstreamer-ffmpeg (from rpmfusion-free).

Other media players using gstreamer would work too, but totem works fine for me.

xdg-open would work too, and I guess the Requires would be the same if
default values are used.

kind regards
