Been running opera mobile 11.5.3, but have had zero luck with embedded youtube videos. Any others noticing the same in opera? Tried all kinds of different settings, clearing data, reinstalls, etc. Interesting enough, i get audio, along with a black box as opposed to the video.
Opera mini opens the vids in youtube, so worst case i go to that. Worth noting, this link works in every other browser i have installed and plays the embedded vids. So pretty sure its just opera mobile unfortunately...

I do too. Same black box. Too bad cuz I love the smoothness and speed of opera.

same here, haven't found a browser that renders as quickly as opera. rarely ever see any tiles when loading pages.
Just tested on my skyrocket... loads with no issues. So its something with the prime. hopefully fixed in a future release. guess i'll shoot an email to the dev.
this is because opera mobile needs to update it for optimal use with our device also. only sound plays out. maybe we need to leave some comments on marketplace or email the developer to address the issue.
edit: I left a comment on marketplace. seen another guy named Ryan, that owns a Prime, also left the same complaint.

as far as i can tell yeah, one other thing i wish they would fix is when you click a youtube mobile link instead of opening youtube it directs you to the youtube page, Opera needs to update so i can stop using two different browsers simultaneously
I put it in tablet mode and it didn't work for videos embedded in general section I was trying to look at. I press the big white play button n nothing shows up. I had flash on demand. So I tries again enabling itall the time and nothing shows up in that area period. SMH. Opera need to hurry up n update..lol

What I did is un/reinstall flash, set Opera to tablet mode and flash always on. Works for me. Only thing is that youtube mobile pops up. Not ideal, but doable till an update of Opera. Meanwhile I use boat browser.

using the browser, if I go to HBO Go's website it doesn't give me an option to log in. I must download the app which isn't supported yet.
Download dolphin HD browser, set to desktop mode, and pretend it's the HBO go app. Streams flawlessly, and you can go full screen mode.

HBO Go works fine from the stock browser. about:debug, goto Settings in browser, Advanced, UAString, change to Desktop. I'm able to watch everything on HBO Go without a hitch. I don't understand how people are having problems with this. Works and looks great. Loving Game of Thrones.

Not sure either, I use task manager to kill all running apps, I don't have any live wallpapers running. Quality is good for a few minutes then becomes choppy and drops to like 1 fps.
Is your connection any good? Run a speed test.

Consider rooting and then getting autokiller to manage memory for you. I was idling at 80-120MB ram (which is **** because there is 750MB dedicated to the user space). With taskiller I am able to keep ~280MB free on average. I can watch youtube justin.tv hulu hbo go and other streams @720p quite easily without any chopiness. Also make sure you are up to date on your flash player.
I'm watching HBO Go on a completely stock Galaxy 10.1 with no choppiness. However, I can't seem to get an icon on my desktop. Although I got a message saying HBO Go was being downloaded, nothing showed up in my apps or download folders. I have to use my browser to go to the HBO Go website. At least it works.
Not sure why I'm having so much trouble with my tab. I'll have to check out autokiller and see if managing my memory makes any difference.
But Netflix works just fine.

Surprised me not a lot of posts on this problem here.
I have been unable to use the stock browser to do the "search in this forum" here with my Transformer and Transformer Prime. I tried the ICS Browser+, and the Xscope. They are all the same - When I click on the "Search in This Forum" button, the dialogue box and the keyboard show up It does not matter what keyboard I use, be it the Asus keyboard or my favorite Thumb keyboard, the keyboard just disappear faster than I can type.
I researched here and someone has this problem back to 2010 or 2011...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=950030
Well, well, well, by accident, I found the browser that does what it should do today, it is the Firefox. Well, it is not the fastest browser. So my question is, what browser you use that can do this "search in this forum"?
Don't tell me to us Tapatalk or the XDA developer app, or use my PC though, I am talking browser for Transformer...
I had problems galore with stock browser. Installed Dolphin browser and everything works beautifully now. The speed is greatly improved as well.
Why not use the xda app?

My bionic does it as well. It seems like a lot of sites are making it much harder for mobile mobile users to use the full site. I absolutely hate mobile sites so I browse in desktop mode and many sites that worked just fine now require me to switch over to mobile veiw to post or search and some will not even allow any interaction anymore and where perfect just a few months ago. I rarely use rootzwiki since it changed and I have to constantly switch between desktop and mobile veiw to do anything.
I tried a cable I purchased last night (mini hdmi to hdmi) and if I run any youtube videos the output works great on my TV ....also any vids from like CNN , MSNBC seems to work as well, even when I go to Full Screen mode on the Prime.
However when I try that from a Flash stream , it flakes out when I go to Full screen mode. Browser locks up, no video or sound and I have to kill the browser and clear data/cache on the app for it to function properly again.
Only does it when the HDMI out cable is connected. If I leave the feed in small screen it seems to run fne. If I increase the screen a bit on the Prime, it will most likely lose video and then it all eventually locks up again.
The site is Hockeystreams.com, basically the one and only reason I wanted the hdmi out, lol
anyway if anyone has any ideas on why this may be happening i would appreciate the help!
Thanks
Greg

Seems to be. I went to teh Market searched for Flash and all it gives me is the option to uninstall or open so I think its up to date.
I am going to try another flash site or maybe another browser as well.
it could be that site and the way they feed the video..
thanks !
I think I read someone saying they had the same problem and they fixed it by uninstalling and re-installing Flash. Might help, might not, but quick to test and it can't hurt.
Alternatively you could clear any data/cache associated with Flash (settings/apps)... perhaps that might do it.

Some content like the Modern Family on their homepage does freeze after the adds using ICS+ browser.
http://www.hulu.com/watch/332079/modern-family-virgin-territory
That same video played in Maxthon for tabs plays but it is choppy. It doesn't freeze. "The Middle" was choppy in Max too. Didn't try in ICS+. I don't have time to test today.
Other content does play smooth. Not sure what the difference is between that Modern Family and others that play smooth. I dont use Hulu plus.
I'm not looking for support. I saw that others have posted comments on the youtube site about freezing. I just thought I would point it out in case others post about this problem.
Works great...now has anyone been able to get HBO GO to work?

Screen keeps blanking out- Hulu on Touchpad CM9
Hello Reverend,
First of all, I must say your videos are very detailed and easy for a non-techie like myself to understand! Thanks.
Last night, following your instructions, I successfully updated my touchpad to finally view Hulu (reference: [VIDEO] Hulu Fix for CM9 Android on the HP Touchpad)..herein lies the problem...
When I enlarge the screen, the video portion goes blank after about three seconds, but the audio remains on. Is there something I need to adjust? Please help. It's great to watch Hulu, but a small screen is not the best way. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
mark
Works...
Can confirm screen goes black for a second or so leaving the audio running so A/V becomes barely noticably off sync..
Good find though..
thanks OP.. uh Rev..
=o)
Thank you, Rev. It worked for me using root explorer and no PC.
HBO GO
I wish it did work with HBO GO but I get the same Message upon starting the AP non supported version of android. Hope someone can solve this. Netflix, Hulu, Crackle all work great. Just not HBO GO...

Well I get that too and I have AdFree installed. You just have to wait until the timer counts down. There is a little timer at the top of the video. It should say
Ad 1 of 2 00:30
Then
Ad 2 of 2 00:30
Wait until they are done and it should play. You wont see any ad.
I do notice that it sometimes gets stuck on 00:01. Just try again.
lol thanks i saw that and was like omg it's not working. Trying to set this up for my mom and thanks!
Chrome can't use flash so that's a downside.
i used to love Boat browser, but not impressed with recent updates.
Stock browser is so so.
What are you preferring?
Dolphin HD is nice and quick but I believe it also only uses HTML5, no flash.

Thanks...been a while since I tried Dolphin...always felt it was a little 'heavy' on the system of this aging beast of ours!
Really hope the guys at Boat Browser fix their stuff.....it was an amazing browser, but recently I've found it to be really laggy and when you pinch zoom it causes the entire page to refresh, or doesn't focus on the area you wanted to zoom on, so you then have to zoom out again to find what you were looking for. Kinda broken.
You pretty much covered them all. Opera is very fast to me, but on JB it doesn't detect flash by default. Although it does play HTML5 videos. At some point you will have to let it (Flash) go.
I saw a browser (don't remember the name) in xda news the other day. It looked ugly but is supposed to be really fast.

Holo is really fast and it supports flash. It's the fastest that I've used and I like it, there are a few bugs that I don't like though. I'd recommend trying it out for sure and deciding yourself. If there is something you really don't like you can message the innovator of it on the forms. I say innovator because it's just a spinoff of tint apparently.
