Another silly n00b question...
Stock ROM, no changes have been made on my gTablet. When I go to YouTube.com, and try to watch a video, I get the error message, "Cannot play video. Sorry, this video cannot be played." Am I supposed to have some sort of an app for playing the videos on YouTube? [I have Adobe Flash Player 10.1 installed, in case that info is helpful to you.]
Thanks for all of your help, wonderful folks at xda-developers!!! I promise, as soon as I can watch YouTube videos, can change the wallpaper (that's more of a "want" than a "need"), and can find an app that works that will show me a count for multiple Gmail AND POP3 email accounts (a definite "need"), I'll be done asking you guys my silly questions! I promise!!
Did you do the OTA(over the AIR) update? Try this first and reboot.
Thanks you for responding, tings. Yes, I DID do the OTA days ago and have have since powered my gTablet off and on quite a few times. it is showing the new updated version, as well. So that's not it. I DI manage to see one (random) YouTube video, but it was so choppy I couldn't hear or see (or understand) a word of it. I just tried to go to YouTube again and wastch a ViewSonic G Tablet video, and again received the "Sorry, this video cannot be played." I seem to not have something installed to play them.
Did you try YouTube native app? Did you also look into browser setting? You might consider downloading flash 10.2.
I myself having pixelation problem with flash video in my tntlite 4.4 win flash 10.2. My mom's stock ROM with flash 10.1 has no issue with pixpixelation.
Sorry, i am noob too.
Try downloading flash 10.2.
Thank you tings and Enectic, for responding! I will do that, and will tell you what happens!
Cool. Let us know.
Well, I had to get the apps store fix done first. Did that, and now have market and gmail and places and maps and a whole bunch of OTHER apps I don't want on my gTablet. Then I went to the market and it couldn't find flash 10.2 (or any other versions). Then I searched for a few other apps I was interested in looking at (like Gmail Unread Count), and it didn't find THOSE either. I'm having a very unproductive day and am getting frustrated. I've been working on finding answers to my questions for 7.25 hours, and have come up empty. I can't figure out how to install my own wallpaper design, I can't watch YouTube videos without getting an error code, and I haven't found an app that will tell me how many unread emails I have in my POP and GMail accounts. I'm 0 for 3 today!
You didn't have to do the market fix to get 10.2. Here's a link to a direct download. Just download and run it directly from your G-Tablet or download it to your computer then transfer it to your G-Tablet.

THANK YOU, Enectic! I appreciate your getting me the link. And yes, I now have all this other stuff I don't need on my gTab. I guess I'll leave it there for a while , and if I don't use it, I'll remove it. [I "thanked" you on the Thank meter!] Wow, maybe I'll now be 1 for 3 today, on my list of things I wanted to do with my new gTablet!
Adobe Flash v10.2 installed (from my PC to the gTab), and it's showing as installed and the correct version on the applications listing in the settings, but I'm still getting the "Sorry, this video cannot be played" error message when I go to YouTube and choose some random videos. Any other suggestions?
No prob, sorry it still didn't end up working for you though. I'm a new G Tablet owner too so still learning myself. Not sure what to tell you, hopefully someone else will be able to help you with your problem.
I have the same issue with the updated OS and YouTube. Is this related to the tablet having no official Flash support?
I am having a similar problem with the videos on my woot tablet. Sometimes they will play and the next time won't. Will never play the king Kong video and once I try and get the error then no vids will play without powering off.
Edit: My second woot tab with no ota works fine. Only a problem on the one I flashed to 3588 since updater down. Now flashed to two taps 9.02 and still the same trouble.
Try this fix in the browser
I went round and round with the Adobe Flash problems. Then I saw a post that said this:
Open the browser
Make sure the full menus are showing (with the address bar showing)
Touch the settings icon to the far right of the address bar
You will three "modes" for viewing among the settings
Select the radio button for "Desktop" viewing
Return to the browser
I did this and what-do-you-know, flash-based movies starting working!
BTW, I received the OTA 4349 update and afterwards, I noticed that I could then use "Tablet" viewing in the browser and the flash movies still worked.
Hopes this helps!

Have you checked your browser setting to make sure you are viewing in desktop display rather than tablet or phone. That was my problem when I had a similar problem.
I would like to know if anyone of you have encountered the same problem like me.
Im using ICEnFire 3.0 on my Milestone. Previously, I am using the 2.9 version and everything is alright. However, when i upgraded to 3.0, Im having problems after flashing the gapps. During the restore and backup, it sort of stayed in the loading mode for an infinite amount of time.. I decided to skip that process.
Now, when i want to share photos to Facebook for Android or Friend Caster, it does not move beyond 0%. I tried using both data and wifi network. I cannot upload on Picasa as well.
I managed to upload only one picture to picasa last night. DO note that I am able to send pictures via whatsapp.
Anybody can define the issue with my phone. Thanks...
youtube is suddenly having issues with the default browser like it lost the player files. Its giving me the missing player logo.
This just happened today.
Doesnt look as if im having issues with other sites.
Flash content is harder to find now.
If i use the desktop version of the page, flash works. Its just the mobile version.
I uninstalled any updates or newly installed programs thinking that was it, but it had no effect.
Anyone seen this before, or having this issue?
I finally found info this is a known issue that was supposed to be resolved yesterday.
Hopefully no confusion.
Hey guys, so here just today I went back to a forum I am on and was attempting to upload photos and everything I try tells me all my photos are now an "invalid file type". It does not make any sense to me because I have tried two different browsers, two different websites, and photos I have previously uploaded. So I am curious if anyone else has had this issue. Have also tried uploading a URL from photo bucket but that will not work either. For my applications, such as instagram and Facebook, it uploads just fine...I am running on the newest CyanogenMod nightly for this phone. Was on yesterdays build and thought that was the problem but have now installed today's nightly and still no luck. Any help would be appreciated.
Starting to think this forum just doesn't have any issues because I can upload pictures here...just not on either of my reptile forums
So, I've been jumping around different roms trying to find one that works with both Instagram and Vine but It's either or both of them don't work.
Instagram always stops half way during a upload on most roms or Vine says this Device doesn't support this feature when I try to record. Since I don't see any solutions or even attempts to get down to the problem, I guess I'll start here. I've noticed I'm not the only one with this problem. I have the Note 2 (T-Mobile) and I wiped the internal storage and cleared the system before I flashed roms.
I'm on AOKP right now. Where do I start to help get to down to this problem?
