I think its not possible to play FLV video formats. You need to create your own decoder for it. Have a look at this official Microsoft answer: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsapps/en-US/0b1d2d0d-f7ba-4a9e-80bb-d67059453c33/play-mpegflv-files-im-media-element

UPDATE

This thread might be useful to you in getting a hint about how to add codec packs in Metro Style app: http://answers.flyppdevportal.com/categories/metro/csharpvb.aspx?ID=054eca2f-4583-483b-8d46-ce7d6214e4f2

FLV is not one of the Supported audio and video formats (Windows Store apps) (Windows)‎ . Your best chance would be to update the URL to provide a supported format.
