I am having no luck playing any embedded flash or silverlight(nfl.com) videos in either stock browser or Opera mobile.
Some setting I am missing?
Examples of videos not being able to play:
http://www.geekosystem.com/
Tides video at the top of page, just shows big, light gray play symbol, when I tap, turns black rectangle and does nothing.
Flash is fully updated.
Opera mobile does not support flash in honeycomb or ICS. If you are updated to ICS there is a new flash player 11 (i think) in the market to update. Other browsers should (stock or dolphin).
Thanked.
Stock is working fine now.
Thanks.
When I try to watch embedded live streaming tv, every site I try tells me that I don't have a plugin. I also sometimes get a message about upgrading to Fleshplayer 9.0
This is happens on Chrome, Boat, Dolphin and Stock browsers. Adobe Flash 11.1 is installed.
Any ideas?
Hey guys,
Got my Prime 3 days ago, everything is working as expected (Amazing product) except one slight problem.
I've been trying to watch embedded video in the stock browser and I seem to be having issues. I'm using stock browser, with the latest flash player installed.
When I get to the video, the screen shows blank and I see in both screen sides a 1 centimeter of distorted colors, which seems to be part of the video itself, but not organized. In full screen view I just see it blank.
When I refresh sometime I actually see the video frozen on some image.
I refresh, switch quality for dozens of times before I get a normal video.
Could someone test the following streaming website for me? mobafire.com/streams (It's League Of Legends game streaming)
(I'm showing as a new user so I couldn't get the link itself posted yet, just add www in the beginning please)
Just choose any stream there, there are around 10 always.
I want to understand if it's only happening on my prime.
Thanks in advance.
Guy?
Anyone encountered this behavior? Could anyone take a minute or two to test the video I mentioned above on his prime?
yes this week end i would watch live soccer on a website with flashplayer
the video was very laggy no possible to pu on full screen the screen was blank
adobe flashplayer was not very good on ics
Also experienced this on both stock browser and Dolphin HD.
One thing I've noticed is that if the page has just one embedded video, no problemo. Plays perfect. Also, don't try to zoom in on the video until after the video starts playing.
But when you have more than one embedded video, it has serious audio sync and loading issues. Oh and trying to full-screen from anything BUT the youtube app will give you terrible results.
I'll give it a shot to try and wait until the stream already starts playing before I fullscreen, but I doubt if it will change anything...
No I don't mean fullscreen, I mean zoom. Fullscreen will always fail miserably. Zoom, yannow, screen-pinching, can get you pretty close to fullscreen.
I see, I'll give it a shot thanks
Can someone that has all video working correctly give the streaming above a shot? I'm particularly interested to know how long, if any it takes you to get a normally working stream.
I have problems watching embedded youtube videos on the stock ICS browser. My experience... If I click play on the video, only the sound plays and the video doesn't appear. If I refresh the browser page, it always seems to work the second go around with no issue.
Not sure why it doesn't load correctly the first time around.
Hey guys,
I'm having some issues watching videos on youtube.
I use Dolphin explorer and just updated to ICS in canada,
Heres me list!
- I come across more and more videos blocking mobile viewers!?! So I switch to desktop mode and these videos play fine.
- HQ Mobile mode is not the same quality as 1080p
- There is still is no setting for 1080p on ICS's stock internet or youtube app.( Please correct me if I'm wrong!). thx
Also, when clicking on a youtube video in dophin explorer while in desktop mode, I get the same prompt, "select an action": Dolphin browser, internet or youtube app.
Is there any way to remove this prompt??? There isn't even a check box to remember my selection.
Any tips be much appreciated.
Thanks

lo everyone,
I tried installing flash on my tablet and flash does work with my browser(s), currently i use Dolphin and UC Browser.
What i find very frustrating is that embedded videos, be it from youtube, vimeo or any other kind of video related website, just do not work correctly.
In the best case scenario the video opens straight full screen, i suppose those videos are in html5, but most embedded content will just play in the window visible on the website (embedded).
Now usually those videos will either load and play correctly but when i try to go full screen i just get a grey screen and i can still hear the audio but no more video, just the placeholder that indicates there should be a video.
So basically i cannot go full screen.
Another very frustrating problem is that very often the video will load, its buffering , then plays a fraction of a second and then jumps to the end like it is finished. This happens only with embedded youtube movies.
This is my first android tablet and the only other experience i have is with the ipad my parents got one day.
On the ipad all the youtube, vimeo or other ... embedded movies play flawlessly. Going to full screen results in a smooth animation enlarging the embedded content to full screen and all movies play extremely smooth.
I find it very strange that an android device has it so difficult with website video content that works so flawlessly on an old ipad (ipad 1).
Are there settings i should change/install/remove for it to better function on my Xperia tablet Z (NOT rooted) ?
If some one got working youtube app with hd videos working please share,
I using Boat browser (and flash player on) but in "desktop mode" on YT site some videos works and some don't
mabe someone got mod hd YT app working on Gpad
Thanks
With root and titanium backup, I just removed the youtube app that comes with stock.
After that I was able to reinstall youtoube from the playstore, choosing version 5.3
That version plays everything perfectly in HD.

Ok, thanks for the Info I'll check that
Update,
I don't know what is it but when I play video on that Youtube app (v5.3) when I choice HD (and I know in desktop is REAL HD) is streaming poor quality like I don't know... VGA maybe
from CC to HQ is like from very poor quality to poor quality so that was not my point. I want to play 720p or 1080p videos like on desktop
Strange, because I do get pretty good quality, definitely HD (by youtube standards).
Either install flash player and firefox, or dolphin browser and dolphin jetpack or install viral youtube app. Take a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2579795

The viral floating youtube app doesnt support 480p or 1080p because google splits the streams in to. 720p works flawless and it hasnt any great difference with 1080p.
I forgot to ask you what version of android you have, if you have 4.2 jelly bean then adobe's flash player should work with every browser that supports flash playback (like firefox or dolphin). If you re on 4.4 kitkat though you need the hacked flash player as google removed from 4.4 some critical files that the flash player needed.

Yes i have 4.4 CM11 , like I wroted up, the haked flash work like a charm, but I switch to Dolphin browser because Boat browser do not played all hd videos on YT like I was thinking, but Dolphin does. Overall I think that Boat is beter browser than dolphin, faster, lighter and smoother but is something for something, haked flash player support Dolphin and is somthing in that flash code because videos that I can't watch on Boat are smooth playable on Dolphin.

I use firefox as a browser and if i want to watch youtube videos i switch to dolphin. Dolphin is not bad at all, its the only browser at the moment which can play flash videos in 4.4 kitkat with satisfactory results and supports plugins just like firefox.
Try Og YouTube from XDA. It's a modified Youtube APK.
There you can select the resolution like you do in the webplayer.
I'm running it and it works fine.
The only issue is, that you can't log in with your Google account.

Give viral a try. See sig
Use Flashfox or Firefox and download an add-on called youtube center.
For now I using Dolphin with jetpack and moded fplayer, and YT works like on PC no problem with 720/1080p
I dont really get it , why from the first place google messed up the resolutions.
Seriously... Why is this even a problem. Videos from the YouTube app look terrible. Sucks that we have to find a workaround.

I downloaded an older version of YouTube, 4.4 something and it shows HD videos fine.
