Thanks Christopher for the issue report.

pyvnc2swf's vnc2swf-play command only supports playback of swf files created using vnc2swf, ie desktop screen recordings. The assertion essentially means it detected that the swf file was not made with vnc2swf, at which point -play aborts.

For proprietary flash playback: use Adobe's linux repo.
For open source, see if gnash is still present/working ?
