First...... Please use the search before posting!
It is well known that flash is not working on most of the honeycomb ports hence online video streaming sites will not work correctly on most browsers.
Try using opera!
I tried opera but won't open neither. Should I try different rom.

I would suggest using "CyanogenMOD 7.0.3 Stable" for the Gtablet.
this ROM is very stable and Video streaming does work well when you use the fixed version of Adobe Flash Player found here
BE ADVISED: This rom runs on the 1.1 Bootloader so I strongly suggest you switch over to that first before attempting to flash the ROM.
The best advice I can give you right now... READ... READ IT AGAIN.. Then READ IT ONCE MORE before you start playing around with low level operations like NVFLASH and ADB...

You mentioned that you are on Honeycomb so I can only guess its a 1.2 Bootloader... If its 1.1 then you can simply flash CM7 followed by a cache/data/davlik wipe...
If you are on 1.2 then you must downgrade to 1.1 before flashing this ROM.
Goodluck!
There is a setting in the browser to make add-ons start automatically, and if it is disabled then some media may not stream. I had that problem with my Froyo gTab. It will not solve your problem if it's Honeycomb-related, but it's worth a shot before changing ROMs.
I have found using RockPlayer Lite works on Dolphin and stock browsers in HC.

Well, as long as Netflix counts as streaming movies ... I can vouch for FlashBack version 7.1. I have no problem using the netflix app to view my stuff.

When i downloaded and installed Flash 10.2 it made my phone go a little haywire when it came to playing flash videos... So i had to use Titanium backup to restore 10.1.
If you need it and do not have it feel free
Note to mods:
Since Adobe is a free download i thought i'd throw this out there for people with the same problem. If you feel this should be removed feel free to.
Thanks! I just tried to watch a flash video to see if mine might work and no luck...so this is great!

I also had this problem when loading 10.2 from the market, but I remembered a thread here with a leaked version from a couple weeks ago that included a hulu version, so I unistalled 10.2 and then installed the 10.2 hulu from here and now everything is great, 10.2 plays so nicely now so I suggest giving it a try, I'm running CM7 RC2 heres the forum link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991694

Maybe you didnt read my post but it works fine on my glacier running cm7 rc2, even hulu using dolphin hd, but I guess if you're on a different rom you wouldnt know that? what works for some may not work for others and vice versa but for me using the hulu version of 10.2 here It works great, but then again i dont watch many youtube videos just Hulu and some other stream sites like jtv etc

I was on CM7 RC2 before i switched roms and i would get no sound with the hulu version and with the official 10.2 it would look messed up but with this rom the official works great and the hulu version still no sound :/.

maybe you didnt read my signature but it does not works fine on my glacier running cm7 rc2. The Flash 10.2 from the market would either play sound with a garbled video or the video would be smooth with no sound. I flashed back to 10.1 and it works flawlessly. That is why this thread is here for people to revert back to 10.1 if they want to. Not everyone (my self included) wants to run 1/2 baked custom .apks on their phones.
Thanks, just what I was looking for, flash update seemed to break most flash playback
i find alot of time when video doesnt work right if i change the resolution to 240 it plays perfect... thinking it has to do with my browser set to pc mode which puts resolution at 3xx. havent tested this but just a thought.
Works on CM7.1.0-Desire HD ROM ...
... on my HTC Inspire 4G when no version or hack of 10.2, or any version above that, would work.

Flash has been converted to work for ARMv6 devices, such as the Legend!
Thread
Direct download link
Sideload it as you normally would, reboot, and it should work!
It's not really fully functional - my browser crashes if I try to play a YouTube video, for example - but it does work!
works so far here, didnt try games or anything like that.. coz that makes no sense for me
would adobe air also be possible and the games that need adobe air?

I can't install the .apk
'App isn't installed'
My device is S-ON could this be the reason?
Possibly - it's over 11MB, though, it could be a space issue? I think my phone was only having a fit because of space.
I doubt it's because you're S-ON, though, it's just an app.
I've tried it on my legend With CM7.0.3 rom, but it doesn't work very great, when I open web page from my local tv station with news, it just closes web browser and when I play larger clips from youtube, or similar pages, it often freezes and force closes.
A lot of fc , but in any oportunities works fine

This + TinyShark (aka more or less grooveshark on android) = Perfect Win !

I've been trying to play video on BBC news website with no success. The loading circle just rotates forever. Funny thing is when I first got my sgs2 it played no problem whatsoever. Also BBC iplayer main website won't let me access it, says my phone not supported. Once again I think I could access it before I upgraded from 2.3.3. Java is enabled in my settings and plugins are allowed. I'm unrooted on stock voda 2.3.5. Anybody else sufferring from this problem?

All working fine here... do u have flash installed OK?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Yeah, running latest version of flash downloaded from market. Using stock browser. Tried uninstalling flash updates, but made no difference. The red ring just keeps whirling round forever and video never plays. All very odd. Every other site I've tried video works fine e.g. sky news, t3, stuff TV, itv news, gadget show. Even BBC one watchlive worked. I guess it must be my settings somehow? But i've no idea what exactly.

Yes, I have the problem as well. It was one of the good things about the S2 that I could watch all the BBC news videos. I guess the BBC have changed something.
I have just tested and it now works OK using Dolphin HD Browser (and you can watch full screen unlike on the stock browser)
Also the videos work on the official BBC news app
I agree, the first thing I checked in shop on demo gs2 was flash playing video on BBC news website. The speed and smoothness really impressed me. Coming from HTC legend ARMv6 where flash was crap, it helped make my decision to buy gs2 final. At least now I know someone else has this issue and shares my disappointment.
Good to know it still works with dolphin hd though. But for me I'd rather stick to stock browser because if hardware acceleration. So the fact it doesn't work anymore is pretty frustrating.:-(

i have solved this problem by using an older version of adobe flash that i still had backed up in titanium backup. but i don't know if thats the best solution since then you won't get the newest versions and security fixes.....
Using titanium backup to roll back flash might be an option. Although i'm pretty sure I would need root. Interestingly I have uninstalled all flash updates back to 10.1 and it made no difference. So maybe flash isn't the problem?

Interesting article. I presume you want the link to the web page I'm having trouble with? It's just the BBC news front/home page.

If I've picked you up wrong let me know.
Also as I stated earlier BBC iplayer (WEBSITE) says my phone isn't supported. Does that also work for you? Thanks for your input

On a rooted flyer you can use the hullified flash that is posted in the xoom forum. Strangely you have to uninstall flash, install it from the market, and then uninstall it again before you install the hullified flash file....It works for me to play hulu.com on a custom rom....
Flash Video Browser loads up Hulu
Hulu+ running in Leedoird
I am running Hulu+ in Leedroid's most recent HC rom. I couldn't run it from Globaltron's stock HC or from Leedroid's GB rom.
Netflix works but the newest update broke stuff. The audio and video are not in sync so you basically can't even watch anything anyway. I hope it gets fixed soon.
EDIT: It seems to be working now.

could netflix release an update to the app that lowers the hc status bar out of sight (until swiped) allowing the video to use the whole screen again or is that out of their jurisdiction?
Tried streaming all day had some luck using stock browser. little luck with chrome dolphin Mozilla or opera. able to watch straight from youtube using any browser. flash player installed. has any found a work around. an app. or a different website with less ads. any advice

For a start what is the exact problem? And second what version of Android are you using? Flash can be problematic on JB because it's not officially supported now.
YouTube works because I believe it can use HTML 5 which updated Android browsers support

Hi guys, I use VIPBox all the time for games on my tablet. I dont get any issues. Make sure you use the original vipbox .(vipleague.se) theres a few fake copies that arent as good and i'm unsure if that may have any effect on the browser. :victory:
