[Q] How to play stored flash movies? - G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Though I have loaded flash (initially 10.2 and now 10.3) and can play a flash movie from YouTube, I cannot play the downloaded version of the same movie - there does not seem to be an association to the .flv filetype.
Any solutions other than transcoding to mp4?
Thanks

There are flv players in the market. Simply search for flv player.

Playing Compressed Video (Xvid) on a G Tablet

I am trying to play compressed video, specifically Xvid compressed AVIs on my GTab with Vegan GingerEdition. I tried YXplayer and Arcmedia, both play Xvid compression fine on my android(gingerbread) phone. Anyone know how to get them to play? Do I need to change builds?
I hear that only Froyo builds can playback compressed video. Is there anyone that has found some way to play them on gingerbread? thanks
Vplayer works
For anyone interested: I got them to play with Vplayer from the Android market.
Also this works with Tversity so you can stream your media to your Gtab.
On FroYo roms like VEGAn 5.1.1 my xvid avi files played with the stock player just fine.
I still can't get any of them to play regardless of what video/media app I download from the Market on any Gingerbread roms.
I use Rockplayer (lite works fine) from the market and when you play vids just select software decode, they play just fine.
MoboPlayer works great and is free. I like the interface, too.

I know rockplayer plays rmvb files.
It would seem moboplayer can handle them as well as least what i saw from looking through the options on the player.

Try to install adobe flash player.
Flv is not flash (swf is).
OP, download a 3rd party player from the market. I recommend: vlc and rockplayer.
Sent from my digital submersible hovercraft.
Yes it is. Flash video content can be embedded in .flv files or .swf files.
Edit - OP: You can either use one of the players F-R suggested, or if you really want to install/use Flash, look at this thread. There's also a link in that thread for detailed instructions on how install on JB (don't know if it works or not/haven't tried it as I'm not running JB).

Flv is a video format. Flash is a programm.
Sent from my digital submersible hovercraft.
Yes. I'm aware of what Adobe Flash is. And I'm also aware that .flv is a video format. What you don't seem to be aware of/understand is that Flash video content can be imbedded in file types .flv and .swf. In other words, if I've got Flash installed, I can view content in either format (and as you pointed out you can use 3rd party apps to view .flv files as well).
So if I install Adobe Flash (as opposed to a 3rd party app), I can view Flash content on websites directly in my browser without having to **** around with other apps (I use Firefox & manually installed the Flash apk & confirm this works flawlessly).
Mx player works great too..
Maybe annoying with the ads, but you'll get used to it (unless you wnat to pay for it)
VLC player handles some .flv files. The official version is in beta at the moment but is perfectly usable in my experience.
thanks for replying.
I've installed flash player and now browser supports swf files playing, but not flv. also installed vlc and rockplayer(and many players) as you said but no result. I am trying to play flv videos like http://depositfiles.com/files/xxdod800p . how about playing this video with swf player in browser?

Youtube uses flv right? And that is working?
BSPlayer plays the file but i can only here someone talking(black screen)
I found the solution to this problem. I renamed the format of this video - flv to swf and opened this file in browser and bingo, browser played this flash swf file.

The stock video player on SII is great it can play even flv but that depens on the codec used in the flv. Some flv videos can be played with the stock others flv videos can. You can do two things.
1. (harder way) convert the video to mp4 galaxy s2 format (search on google for galaxy s2 video converter, like imtoo its good and etc.)
2.(easy way) install third party video player from playstore The good ones are BS Player and MX Player, but BS player is better because you can change the theme and it has better user friendly interface. And with BS player you can get popup video and play songs (you can use it like music player)

Galaxy Tab S3 playing some mp4 files but not other mp4 files?

I have recently purchased a brand new Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 SM-T820. It is running the stock android 8.0.0 ROM and I have not rooted or done anything else to it. It is as it came.
I also have a Samsung EVO+ 64Gb MicroSD card installed in the tablet and have some movies saved on the MicroSD card.
I am totally confused because the tablet will play some mp4 videos but will not play other mp4 videos and this is so even if the videos are on the MicroSD card or copied to the internal storage of the tablet.
I have tried playing the videos with VLC Player, MX Player and the inbuilt Video player with the same result.
When I try to play some mp4 files with VLC Player they play normally but when I try to play other mp4 files the screen remains black and nothing happens
When I try to play some mp4 files with MX Player they play normally but when I try to play other mp4 files it gives the message "Can't play this file"
The inbuilt video player gives the error message "Failed to play video. An unknown error has occurred"
Surely it should play ALL mp4 files or NO mp4 files?
I would appreciate any thoughts/help/comments.
Thanks
