Does anyone have a working solution for YouTube on the 6800? I've searched everywhere and tried everything implied, but I still can't get it working. I've tried all the flash video packs, TCPMP, WMP, HTC Streaming Media Player (which won't cook for some reason, I get errors.) Nothing is working. And I love youtube. And i Need it! It's how people that should never be remembered for anything are remembered for something. And I have long breaks of downtime at work.
So if someone has a working solution, would you please do a short writeup or post the files here? Thanks
I use TCPMP and Flash Video Bundle. You need to get the new flash video bundle to do this because youtube changed some stuff.
Found my information here:

Search for youtubeplay it just came out. Works pretty nice, fastest way to play them yet.
I use skyfire browser and it works with no additional DL's, hollowood.com, any trailer on "those sites" and I can go to flash sites with no issue.
I never got any of those DL's to work on my 6800, so I just use the browser.
skyfire.com
ok so I got youtubeplay and it works good. thanks!
kickass
I'll have to try youtubeplay. Looks promising.
The only thing is that it only plays youtube videos, while the TCPMP FlashVideoBundle also plays video from other sites as well.
i def like that tcmp/flashvideo does other sites, and lets u download the video, but the interface of youtubeplayer is nice. def better if u know what ur looking for. someone posted this comment in the youtubeplayer thread, but it would be nice if eventually, the interface was improved to look more like the shhh....iPhone, but im sure it will improve anyways
tcmp/flashvideo best out there!
dont guess you would post the skyfire installer? the web site says the beta testing sign-up is over.
Thanks.
Skyfire requires you to register and asks for your mobile number. When you try it on 2 devices it tells you to deactivate Skyfire on your other device to use it on this one. Sorry or I would post it too.
Try this one, works for me.. also works for watching TV in full screen.

That cab does not install on my 6800. I copied it to my storage card and clicked on it - get an error message saying it did not install.

Skyfire remains as a locked beta and is not open to public use. Your bragging ain't helping one here in the now..
Try downloading vtap, it gets videos from tons of sites, and is easy to use. Its interface is similiar to that of the Iphone, and I have been using it alot, it works well.

How bout youporn ? Anything play those???
The new beta youtube player is very basic but fast software. One another way it to search for youtube through orb and simply play any youetube video in any player of your choice.
since installing opera the flash video bundle no longer opens via IE. i am finding this same thing happening when i open singer weather watcher as well. i have not set opera as the default browser, yet it takes over on these apps and i cannot view flash vids as i could previously. has anyone else found this and is there a way(hopefully something obvious that i have missed) to run these properly without opera taking over and messing them up.
bump, sry but this is bugging the hell out of me
can you point me to the "bundle" you are talking about? i cannot view flash files period anyway, and since i dont use opera, mine should be fine....what do i need to install to view flash, and PLEASE dont tell me tcpmp!!!

it is the flash video bundle that works with tcpmp. in the programs list it shows as video files and works like a charm with IE, but since opera was loaded it takes over this programs function and does not work. when working properly you can select a video in youtube, google videos etc... and have the optioin to view or save
The flash video bundle is meant to work with TCPMP using Pocket Internet Explorer.
You need Flash Player in order for it to work if your using Opera.

I have seen that those who got flash video playback using the new opera browser had to install the flash player by cooking it into a ROM.
I tried using it by just installing the CAB and nothing works, but I have skyfire so I really didn't need that.

I'm not sure of the full capabilities of the New Opera Browser.
It's a good browser but I think when it comes to multimedia such as music or video, skyfire is the best so far.
But some developers over at Hacking and Development are still trying to fix some bugs. Especially with the use of Flash 7.

If you have Shapp's Advanced Config tool, open the menu, go to file associations, delete the opera(the big red "O") file associations. Also uncheck the box in the Opera settings to use it as default browser.
or you can use my extensions and edit .htm file to
iexplore.exe file:%1
browsres.dll,-6703
Is anyone currently able to watch Hulu either on the website or through the Hulu Plus app?
If so, what Rom are you using and what version of Flash?
I can get to the website and start the video but so far after it plays the first commercial the video will stop, the audio will play but the video freezes
OR
It will play until it gets to a commercial, it will play the commercial and ten never resume playing
OR
it wont even make it past the first commercial, it will play the ad but will then stop playing and get stuck on a black image...
Ive tried CM7, Flashback, Vegantab Ginger Edition (couple different versions) as well as multiple versions of Flash...
Having the same issues. 1.1bl, Vegan Ginger 7.1, Vgeezyflash.API 11.0
Having issues too.
Using the Flashback 10.0 alpha (Honeycomb 3.1) rom and can't get hulu or most flash items to load right/
If I click around and end up hitting play I'll get sound on hulu, but that's all.
I think it has something to do with later flash versions using Hardware Acceleration and the gtab not supporting it or something.
I've tried the stock browser, Dolphin for Pad, Dolphin HD and Opera Mobile/mini all with the user agents set to Desktop.
I've tried flash from these locations:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1077914
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076612
I always get the same result.
The websites I use to test are, newgrounds, hulu and a google search for "fart soundboard".
On Hulu I only get sound, on newgrounds flash items are just a blank spot and the fart soundboard will make noise if i click on it but I can't see any of the buttons I'm pressing.
I've read other posts of people saying the have got hulu to work but they fail to mention where the got the flash apk.
Get the PlayOn Mobile app and stream it as well as many others right from your pc to anywhere your connected to wifi, been using it awhile now and until we can stream directly from the site, this is a GREAT alternative

Thanks for the tip!
Update:
Using Opera Mobile 11.1 (with the user agent set to "desktop" in its settings, from this post and the latest version of Flash Player 11 from the Android Market get's flash based websites like newgrounds.com and my flash based eTextbooks to work correctly! So that's a decent enough work-around for my issues.
Hulu.com works better than with any other browser but still won't actually play videos.
I obviously have a DX2 and I want the best flash for web video. I have tried 2 variants of 10.2 and the latest 10.3 release and nothing really works for ESPN3/watchespn sites. However, most other flash video sites work most of the time. The 11.x update seems to break all flash functionality on previous ROMs(stock 2.3.5 and eclipse 2.0.3). Any suggestions?
Im having issues on CM7 with the latest flash. It seems to freeze up on videos sometimes.
Which browser are you using? I use Dolphin HD and was noticing that some videos wouldn't load properly, so for kicks I tried a few links in the stock browser and they worked perfectly. I now use Dolphin for 90+% of my browsing and switch to the standard browser for videos that aren't working properly.
Edit: I am using Flash version 11.1
Thanks
I always used the latest dolphin hd browser. The stock browser does work with espn.com/watchespn a lot better.
I'm sticking with Adobe Flash 10.3 to try out the hulu.com dolphin hack stuffed in these forums somewhere. I'm wondering if anybody else has gotten it to play hulu.com videos and not the "we don't support your system" bs.
I've found that if you pinch resize a video in Dolphin HD, it will fix the video most of the time.
Hallo everybody,
I am not able to display Vimeo video's at my Samsung Galaxy S2(ICS - 4.0.3. - not rooted).
I installed other browsers like Dolphin, Opera, Chrome, but nothing works. The video's are suites for mobile devices.
I stille get the error "This video can't be played with your current setup. Please switch to a browser that providers native H.264 support or install Adobe Flash Player.".
I can't install Adobe Flash Player, because it is't compatible with the S2.
What can I do? Is it possible to play Vimeo video's on the S2?
Johanna

Good luck!

What about videos that are hosted on Vimeo but are embeded on another site like tumblr . Those wont work either. I have the latest flash player from the adobe archive, installed the latest Mozilla Firefox browser (said to be able to play H264 encoded videos), Opera (not the mini version) and ... urgh .. Chrome, yet still ... my S II wont run the videos. Tested on a HTC, they work flawlessly. I use Vodafone stock 4.0.4 ROM, non rooted. I did see however that on one Vimeo forum, one of the "staff" guys said that they are currently working on this issue (working that has been going on for apparently a year or so) but still no ETA on when it will be solved.
