I've noticed that no matter which web browser I use (Dolphin, Maxthon, Miren, Firefox, Skyfire) if I try to view a wmv file or various other video file formats, that the files do not play natively within the web browser, instead they download. I take it that's because those particular formats are not supported to play for those browsers. Like windows is there a way to install codecs or is there a browser that can do this? I really hate downloading a bunch of web vids & then opening up a 3rd party app just to play them.
BTW I just downloaded the Firefox browser today & I really love its features.

Hi, I'm curious if anyone has been able to browse website which have HTML 5 content?
An example would be viewing a blog like Gawker, but viewing the embedded videos as HTML 5 video as opposed to flash (or viewing the iPad optimized version of a site). I've tried switching the user agent on my browser to emulate an iPad but the flash content still appears.
I'm using Dolphin, this video appears to play fine although I don't have the sound turned on at the moment.

Edit, just tried it with the standard browser too, it plays but seems to lag compared to Dolphin. I should point out that my standard browser will only open sites in their mobile version and not as 'desktop'.
Were you ever able to get "iPad" versions of websites?
Does anyone know how to stream video from sites that are either in flv for divix format? I've been trying to get streaming video from say, watchseries.eu, to work but its a no go for me. I'm not sure if this is a limitation of mobile browsers as its the same way with my android phone. I would think streaming media of various formats should be something that is supported as these devices are portable media centers. Is there perhaps a downloaded browser on the market that works better for streaming media content or an app that will capture a stream and play it? I'm currently using the stock os, stock browser, and have tried the beta release of chrome but still no luck.

The Chrome beta is crap when it comes to flash (if you read up on it, it's not supporting flash at all), and won't help you. So's the stock browser.
Dolphin HD plays some flash, also Skyfire will play some... but there will be streams that you just won't be able to play on the TP.
I tried the pilot of Vampire Diaries and it worked...
I think it might be hit or miss with the actual server that is hosting the stream. I found one for the show I was trying to watch and it loaded. Just left it with the circular loading symbol going and it started about 3-4min later.
I will try a different browser over the weekend and see if there better compatibility.
-Thanks!
I have Nook Color with CyanogenMod 7.2. I have tried tons of web browsers: Opera Mini, Dolphin HD, Firefox, Browser (native browser), Maxthon, Skyfire, and Puffin Free. None could stream (flash) videos. They either weren't able to do it at all, or did it with lots of stuttering.
What is the best way to play flash videos in web pages?
No flash player for your phone ?
I have Adobe Flash Player. It says "Sorry, this video cannot be played."
Are you using the most recent version of flashplayer?
what version of your Flash player ?
Hello. There's this website I watch TV Shows on, it has every episode in both flash and html5. I'm on ICS 4.0.3 and for some reason the html5 doesn't play in any browser I've tried and the Flash version works kind of well, but it stutters some times.
Anyway, is there any video player where I can browse or paste the link and watch it there? The site requires authentication to view them.
On the iPhone it simply opens it's native video app, much better than to handle the video inside the browser.
Hi.
I have been using UC browser for very long time to watch online videos. Uc has its default browser which is very handy to use.
Now the India banned the UC browser, its time to switch.
Now i am switched opera, the main issue is that when i play the website video it uses its own video player istead of default opera video player.
How can i use the website video to different video player, tried every browser firefox, dolphine, brave etc. However everyone is playing the same website video player which is very difficult to use.
So please suggest me how to do so. Used the mx decoder method by making it default also but its not working.
Waiting for someone to guide this poor soul toward the heaven....:angel:

Hi. You'll need to be more specific. Online videos as in what exactly. Embedded videos on websites or video streaming sites.
Can you give some example of the online videos for us to refer?
Personally i use samsung internet, with its useful built in ad blocking plugins..
You can try to check your browser settings. Here is mine on samsung internet.

Thanks for your reply,
I think i am talking about embedded videos, However, the Samsung internet works after applying this smart video assistant.
Can you suggest some more type of browsers having the same feature??
