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.

I wanted to play YouTube videos on my A7HT v1 and found that version 1.3 works.But the videos do not play in fullscreen.some are small while others are large. .I also tried using Skyfire browser but the video quality is bad in it.
Then i switched to 2.1 beta 6 ROM(you can find it at archosfans forums) and noticed that the YouTube app in it displays videos in fullscreen but the videos cannot play on any ROM higher than 1.5.
Now i have decided to decompile the 2.1 apk,copy the properties that tell it to play in fullscreen and paste those into the 1.5 apk.So can any one guide me on this.
Thanks
Make sure that your browsers are up to date. Im not much of a youtube user but I think that they just started using HTML5 for the videos as opposed to flash. So if the app is working but the browser isnt, that could be why. Aside from that, try to empty the cache for your browser or the app? This might not be related directly to your ROM, I have heard a lot of people (running stock roms) complaining that youtube has been broken on their android phone. Does it work in your stock ROM?
Hope this helps, but I doubt it haha.
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:

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.
The stock browser crashes after attempting to load YouTube video via Flash on the full site. I have the latest Flash version installed and running Android 2.3.6 stock. I cleared Flash and browser cache, same thing happened.
Only YouTube videos crash. Everything from advertisements, games and full Flash sites do not crash the browser
Maybe its because you're trying to load a huge object (if its full HD +200Mb) in an android (limited) browser viewing the full site (not the mobile).
I suggest you open that videos with YouTube app and it should play without problem.
And you have the same issue when you use a different browser?

Haven't tried Dolphin as that browser is just a shell running on top of the default browser so it will crash regardless.
I can't get Flash to work on Opera Mobile.
Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone is having this problem. I have a Samsung Galaxy SII 4G, love this phone. However I have some issues when it comes to flash and streaming video stuff. I can seem to watch youtube videos just fine but trying to go to other sites that have flash or streaming videos, it just doesn't play at all. Also some sites with flash will only show up with a green arrow in the area where there's supposed to be a video. I have downloaded Adobe flash and Flash AIR. Have tried multiple browsers with all having the same problems. Is there a fix to this? Please help.
P.S. I know this isn't the right forum for this but I am also having this problem on my Viewsonic G-Tablet.
Thanks,
Afrowookie
Are you using the stock browser?
Try boat browser. Flash works great with it! You can also try updating flash in the market.

I have the most updated adobe flash. I have used the stock browser, firefox, dolphin and now opera. Opera seems to work the best for me, but like I said youtube videos work, but on other sites the videos don't even load, and the only way to watch some of them is by downloading them first and then viewing afterwards. I will try boat though, thanks for the reply.

Like I said, try boat browser. Under the Settings > Set User Agent - To desktop. Should work with almost all videos.
ive installed ROBOFORM browser for it... it works perfect ...
Well this sucks, firefox flash video seems to be broken, while dolphin's still works on 4.4.
Has anyone found a way around this while still using firefox? I thought firefox had flash built into it, but I guess not. This guide no longer works: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/guide-how-to-play-flash-video-android-4-t2548001

Also for those who cannot get this to work on Firefox, this add on let's you open any video in external player of your choice! https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/i-love-apps/
