Hi all, i tried to resume an EeePC and an old hp pavilion d3 (2010). Everything work fine in the eeePc i installed some builds and finally choosed the 7.0r4 of Android-X86, in the pavilion i installed the Prime OS clsassic. Both have the same problem, cannot play videos using browsers (i tried chrome, firefox and opera) but they work in app. Giving a better axplanation: a video from youtube played in the browser won't start but work in youtube app, the same if i try to play video using web plex or web netflix they fail but work in the apps. Any suggestions? Thanks

I have a simple question...Is the firefox on the webtop a full experience as pc? For example some flash games like Farmville won't work on an android phone in browser, but will they work on webtop firefox? It is not like this game is important for me it is an example came to my mind to compare.
So far it seems pretty close. Although you cannot stream Netflix and I didn't try the game you mentioned. I have used it stream Hulu (but full screen even on fast wifi is a little bit choppy). I can use the Citrix plug in to pull up my Windows XP desktop and access programs from work. (pretty wild to be pulling up an XP desktop on the tv from the phone).
HDMI really needs the 1080 badly....720 doesn't cut it for reports and the like..
Still, for me, it isn't a pc or notebook replacement. If I am travelling and don't want to bring a pc I can bring the Motorola keyboard and Verbatim BT mouse and it will do in a pinch (assuming I have wifi).
imho
To answer the OP's question: Yes. It is a full Firefox browser install, like it would be on any linux-based computer. The same limitations that exist for standard linux desktops with Firefox apply to the webtop as well (no Silverlight so no Netflix, no Windows Media Player, etc). But the flash plugin is there, and works fine with Hulu, flash-based games, Youtube, etc.
I tried to play minecraft on webtop firefox, but then found out that Java wasn't installed. Can I actually install java?
firfox browser addons
does it support plugins like divx web player... or veetle plugin...
Unfortunately there is no java plugin, and I could not get the latest Oracle embedded jre to work with it (even though it shows up in about: plugins). Any plugins that work with Firefox on linux should work in the webtop, provided the plugins can run on an ARM platform.
I picked up a Chromecast recently, and would like to use my Nook Tablet (16g) with it. Nook is running Succulent's Android KitKat 4.4.4. I have Pandora, Netflix, Youtube, and Chrome(beta) Browser all streaming to the Chromecast. Hulu is the missing piece of this puzzle- I have the latest version of the app but there's still no Chromecast icon. After searching, found a Hulu help page with bad news: [/I]"* At this time, Hulu Plus is not available to stream through iPod touch, Kindle Fire, Nook, or Windows Phone 8 to Google Chromecast."[/I] Bummer.
Anybody found a way to get this to work? A special Hulu .apk, a different ROM, or maybe a modified build.prop? Something else?
remix os is great for some productivity stuff but since i have tried it for a week but no way around it plays videos on youtube or anyother streaming app or site so lets assume that this is a bug and i hope devlopers at jide will try to remove it in upcoming update. but until then if you want to play some video offline you can use vlc android app and it works fine on remix.

Having this problem too, and from what I've seen in the forums alot of people are facing it as well.
As a temporary solution, try BSPlayer. It's the only video playing app I tried that works at the moment. A bit clunky but functional.
Hopefully this will be fixed with the the coming updates =)
EDIT: I tried VLC player, but for some reason it crashes the entire OS for me xD
its to do with the graphics...my system can play full HD videos and 3D games like CSR2
try this....it might help:

I can confirm that on my Intel Core i3 with integrated hd 2000 YouTube works fine, video playback is fine, but on my older 24inch msi ae2400 that has an Amd 4670 mobile gpu video playback doesn't work and YouTube doesn't work. So i think its to do with the Amd video drivers, not sure if NVIDIA cards have a better driver, but intel gpu's seem ok
Youtube videos stream when I request the desktop version of the site in a web browser. This is not a graphics problem. There seems to be something wrong in mobile mode and something right in desktop mode. The browser proves it. Youtube and all those other apps must be running in mobile mode and that is where it seems the problem is. Try it... . Run Youtube in a browser in Desktop Mode --not mobile mode. Request Desktop Mode in a browser. @aayush97 @StormShadow_94 @freelancer81 @p3dboard

Good that you took the trouble to find the solution to the problem.
For me, I can't use internet as it does not detect my usb wifi dongle.
Maybe install opera/opera mini and see....that's what I use anyway.....I dislike stock browsers.
Or better yet, use the official youtube app...more feature rich and stable than browsers.

You need a browser with "a request desktop version" option. I don't think opera mini has this option. Moreover and probably a topic for another thread, in relation to your wifi problem, you could use somebody's android or apple smartphone to create a mobile wifi hotspot for your remix os computer to connect to. It will work. All smart phones have a mobile wifi hotspot.

thanks for the suggestion....about the browser.
opera mobile or opera mini (which i am using on my note 10.1 has that option.
regarding wifi hotspot.....if my pc has no wifi, how could i connect to any wifi hotspots?
anyways, i am not using it (RemixOS) as a go to OS yet....just trying out....so...no need for internet.
thanks again!
I can play videos in Chrome and VLC just fine, however MX Player simply crashes when opening the video (even the Remix Mini video). The laptop I'm testing it on has a Core i5-3317U with Intel HD 4000 graphics.
Thanks for the suggestions =)
I forgot to mention that despite video playback not working in the Youtube and Facebook apps (haven't tried others yet), they play fine when viewed from the web browser. On Chrome, clicking and holding the video itself even pops up a "save video" option; an added bonus =P
For me this is how I use Youtube and Facebook on Windows anyway (through Chrome not the standalone apps) so it doesn't bother me at all. I play local videos using BSPlayer and they play great and they have subtitle support.
Only thing I'm struggling to get working are games. Not one single game works and an OS crash is always caused. I'm using an Nvidia gpu (GT 315 to be precise..... I know it's a very crappy one xD). Hopefully we'll get better compability in the coming updates =)
Intel Mobile GME 965 Express Graphics Card (Compaq 610)
Installed 3.0.201 Still problems when playing Netflix, Youtube etc videos from the app. Video freezes very soon while audio continues. When playing videos from Chrome browser no problem. I have a Compaq 610 with Intel Integrated Mobile GME 965 Graphics Card. When will Remix support this?
Cheers,
Patrick
problem is the video cards. to at least be able to watch youtube, just open the youtube app, click on the three dots top right of the video window and choose video quality of 360 or less and you will be fine.........
YouTube apps does not work (including YouTube for kids) - all of the video buffers and stutters. However, youtube is fine via the chrome browser? Is this a known issue or only me. I am using a HP mini 311 which also has a nvidia graphic card.
same here with Lenovo S10-3T. Video stoped on one frame but audio continue fine. in browser its better but laggy.
hope this issue is only for 'Remix for desktop' and not in supported android mini devices like Tronsmart, U1 etc., as I am planning to get one.
Not sure about those devices, but the Remix Mini I own works fine. Guess they couldn't optimize their "Remix OS for PC" for all the vast veriety hardware avialable. Finger cross!
So far this is the only app I have found that just won't work in Android-x86 form the ones I have tried. It loads but once you click on something to watch, where you get the playback options it just closes the app.
It doesn't work on Remix OS or in Android-x86 6.0r3. The weird thing is that I have tried many different versions of the app and it's just something that makes it crash on Android-x86
Try using other player to stream video on showbox. Example include MX player as an external player

It's something else. The app closes as soon as you click on a movie to see the play options, before you get to click play.
I even tried Showbox 9.1 which is the latest and it still does the same on Android-x86
I've been boggled by this for 2 years. Not sure why showbox instantly closes in Remix os after selecting a movie or show, every.. single.. time..
If anyone has a solution I'll donate.
Or if someone could point out out to debug apks I'd be glad to try
I'm not sure why but it just is not compatible with Android x86 it seems. I did however get Terrarium TV working with Mx Player Pro. VLC does not work on Remix OS.

VLC does work with Remix OS, you just need to install the x86 build.
This comes from someone who had used VLC on Remix OS on his desktop before Remix OS had stopped working with said desktop (I hope to try it with the updated Android-x86 kernel, though).
