iOS devices cannot play Flash-based videos. This include FLV and RTMP. It’s always been this way. Steve Jobs even wrote an essay about all the reasons why Flash does not work on iOS devices, if you want to read it: https://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/

There is no way to play FLVs on iPads. You’re best option is to convert your content to MP4 or HLS.
