Hi,
While seeing streaming videos on browser (it happens in Chrome and in stock browser even with one tab open) my Tables S usually reboots android or block the browser. When the browser blocks, I shut down the open apps and then I can continuing using the browser until the next reboot ou block. This only happens while seeing videos in browser, sometimes in the first video sometimes after seeing 4 or 5.
Does any one have the same problem? Any solution?
Thanks.

Instead of paying another $5/month to get another Rhapsody music authorization, I'd like to just run it from the mobile browser. The problem with the default browser is that the music stops playing if it's in the background or the screen is turned off. I also tried Skyfire but it doesn't stream music off the website.
Are there any fixes to the browser or any alternative browsers that can stay alive and stream music when in background/screen off state?
Miren browser is the answer. It has problems displaying the entire web page for some frustrating reason, but at least it streams music in the background or with the screen off.
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?
Hi,
I've been looking for a browser that would allow for me to watch online streams (i.e. sport streams) without an incredible amount of lag. I've tried xscope, stock, dolphin, boat, and maxthon. Not a single one of them has been able to do it.
I would appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction or if someone could show me an app that would work in the same capacity. This is the only functionality that I'm finding my prime is missing. I only wanted it for internet and the occasional word document.. and so streaming sports would make the wonderful package complete.
Thanks!
I've been using the stock browser and ICS Browser+ and havent experienced much lag on streams besides the regular lag that comes with some streams. The only time I do notice a little lag is when I'm not viewing in fullscreen.

What do you mean not watching in fullscreen? Are you talking about having the browser in fullscreen? Or talking about having the stream opened up fullscreen?
Thanks.
i noticed stock browser does not allow me to log in espn3.com
but the lag is related more to network speed more than browser app
Lag would come more from work strength and speed than the browser

i mean the actual stream being in fullscreen.
Hmm, first of all, I did find a browser that would let me watch a stream without lag and there is a noticeable difference between streams on that browser and on others. Second, I can never make videos fullscreen on my tablet. Even trying to watch videos from ESPN.com won't go fullscreen. Is something on my tablet messed up?

Greetings from Portugal.
Before I start, yes, I have tried searching for it. Found a couple of old threads that didn't help much...
My question is: Is there a way to watch any video format without it stopping every few minutes?
If I use the stock player everything is fine, but it cannot support several video formats like avi, rmvb... etc. I use the MX player, but on some types of video, it stopps every few minutes. It's sooooo annoying!
From what i've seen in some threads, it happens with other video apps too. AND, when i am watching something directly from the internet, like fastpasstv, the video stops loading also every few minutes. I have to restart the loading from the middle... not hard, but also annoying. (using stock browser, and this doesn't happen on youtube for example)
Is the issue related? Since it seems to be happening to both online and offline video viewing...
I am stock, non-rooted, and non-unlocked... Wifi is fine.
I have the same problem. But it is a MX Player specific one for me. BS Player works fine (but has other issues).
Edit: I tried with the 'Performance Mode' and it works so far. Maybe a workaround?
I never have this problem when streaming one of many video formats from my PC to my Prime using ES File Manager to find the video files on my PC and MX to play them as streams.
Is this something that you tend to experience with streams/videos being played directly on the Prime?
For me it is locally played .ts videos.
Meanwhile I found this thread http://groups.google.com/group/mx-videoplayer/browse_thread/thread/533d7296c0305183
It might be a Prime/ICS problem. There seems to be no solution up to now.
I get this same issue trying to stream video from sites other than youtube. It is when I'm streaming that I get most of the lock ups with the prime, reboots, etc. Maybe it is something to do with the allotted cache size of the browser being used up and cleared to make room for more buffered video?
It is rather annoying. You basically have to let it load and watch the whole thing as it goes. If I hit pause or so anything else then it risks stopping the stream where ever its at in the buffering. It's nice to have it start loading up, hitting pause, and walking away for a few minutes to let it buffer up. But then when I come back it would have just stopped about a 1/3 into it or 1/2 way. It would require hitting the reload button at the top or having to close the browser, kill it in the task manager, and then reopen it.
I don't have this issue with Netflix though. They did something right in their app.
I used to have this issue with mx player. It really sucked having to restart a movie every 5-10 minutes.
You want to use Dice Player. It's played everything I've thrown at it. All in Hardware rendering so the screen goes blank when plugged into HDMI.
Haven't had any issues since. I'm using the paid version, I assume they are both alright though.
When streaming video from youtube, or other sites and I hit pause during that stream, the entire loading of the stream will stop. Whatever is buffered will play but the stream will not resume loading from that point forward.
Example: Say I'm streaming a cartoon from the web and the clip is 5min long. About 2min into the clip I have to pause it because the phone rings. When I come back it will only play another 30 seconds and then stop (the stream which was already buffered plays). The player will just show the little symbol for loading/buffering but the wifi transfer icon on the tablet is doing nothing. I will have to reload the page and the video from the beginning.
The same can happen if I try moving around the clip. If I wanted to jump 30 seconds into the clip or backward in time it can trigger the player to stop loading. It will also happen if I open another app and return to the browser; like reading a new email. If I'm using netflix to stream I don't run into this problem. I assume its because of their programing in the app etc.
Is this a limitation to streaming video on mobile devices when it doesn't complete the buffering if interrupted? A computer will just continue to buffer it into memory for playback but are mobile devices set up to stop that loading so that memory is kept free? I know our primes have browser issues with freezing and rebooting but I don't know if this is part of the browser issues the broader prime community is experiencing.
I am on stock os, I use boat browser and the stock browser, and tried the suggested remove all browsers, uninstall flash, and reinstall trick. My phone has always been bad at streaming video so I can't really compare that with my tablet.
