Hi,
I've just installed the latest WM6 rom on my 8525 and also installed Flash player 7 along with the java addons. I've tried viewing videos from youtube and mtv from both internet explorer and opera mini 4 beta 3 but any video i click it always says flash player not installed and click here to go to adobe etc.... Can someone help me configure it so I can play flash videos? thanks
cmon, somebody has to have an answer for this. I can't load any videos on standard pages for myspace, mtv, youtube, etc. it says javascript is either turned off or you dont have the right player. I downloaded flashplayer 7. Running mini opera 4 beta 3 and pocket IE as well as picsel browser.
Mobile browsers not designed for video
Neither of the browsers you are trying are capable of displaying flash based videos. The Opera Mini will probably never support them because it is a Java based browser for use on most any phone. There is a Windows Mobile Opera that is in beta, last I heard, that claims to support flash based videos, however the only thing I could get it to do was crash my 8525, forcing me to soft reset, at which time I then uninstalled it completely. As you will see in the instructions at one of the links below, there is one more file you can download that will play the videos, which seems to be accomplished through the link from internet explorer triggering the thirdparty app to open and strat trying to play the video.
You could try the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=326225, however I have not tried them and can not confirm for you if they work.
The way I currently play these type files is using a program called AvotMV. AvotMV has a internet browser type feel to it, and when you play the videos it will automatically play them "full" screen (in portrait mode). If you want to try AvotMV, you can download it for free from the developers here here http://www.avotmedia.com/
the tcpmp and flashbundle works beautifuly. especially on a highspd connection. the newest version givesthe choice dowloading or streaming it. You will have to unistall flash7 as it will clash with flashbundle plugin. I posted awhile back if some could figure out how to get them to work together or at least independently on different browsers because the tmpcp flash plugin will only play videos not other flash content.
That explains it...
I have the official flash 2.1 from adobe for WM5/6 which allows me to use one of the spinning cube flash controllers. Would be nice if someone could figure it out because this does not look like it will work for me until a fix is made.
its here guys, both are fully working with the latest rom from SEUS --- youtube cab app was downloaded from youtube usingmy xperia
you don't have to install the flash player for the youtube app to work, i guess the flash player is just for internet explorer
flash player 7 here
Code:

and the youtube app here
so, and..... isn't flash lite 3 already player 8(!) ?
and if it is, flash lite 3 wont work for me
yup, you are right.... didn't work for me either! However, THIS ONE WORKS finally !!! Thanks for the link!!!
What exactly does flash player 7 do?
Is it a flash lite plug in?
Is it an application player like youtube panel?
not working for me, on you tube not even showing box for video just the web page with comments.

what is the quality like on the utube app is this for the xperia?
The youtube app is very nice.
What's with this utube crap... it seems everybody just is concerned How utube plays!
For me it is important that website using flash content display and one can navigate through such websites!!!
So, with opera and flash lite, most websites using flash content did not display (only a white or black box was displayed!).
Now with flash 7, in Internet Explorer(!) these websites are displayed correctly and show their flash content.
Meaning, one can now fully access such websites. That's all
doesnt work with my internet explorer. still cant view flash sites...
What kind of a statement is that??? What is your ROM version, etc.?
Because on my X1i, unbranded Generic_UK R2AA10 it works PERFECTLY!
michael, what exactly is the difference between flash player 7 and flash lite 3.1 for X1?
Neither Flash Lite 3.1 nor Flash Player 7 works on my X1 with R2AA7 firmware.
Heh, so we have a little mess here...
On my side, I'm still on R1,
and FlashLite 3.1 shows almost all Flash content on websites....
But I use Opera Mobile 9.5.
Actually after restart flash player 7 did show some kind of flash content in opera 9.5 (I do not use IE mobile at all), but the content was kinda broken (did not show as it should be). Maybe a newer version of flash was on that pages (flash 7 is very old).
But this content did not scroll with the page. It stayed on the same place of the screen and totally messed up my pages. This flash cripples the pages more than it shows anything good.

As well I checked it,
YouTube app from youtube shows these small, mobile videos which are disaster,
compared to YouTube panel which some of us use... Which shows perfect video.

o well gd for u then. lol.
im also using X1i on generic uk r2aa10 with r3a panel manager. but ie wont display any flash content. not a big deal tho.
i already got flashlite installed and most flash content displays well on opera.
I just got my xperia last wednesday and installed flash player 7 and I was able to watch bbc iplayer and listen to music on a specific website on opera. The next day I updated the firmware via SEUS to r2a and reinstalled flash player 7 but i was unlable do do either of those thing. Now when I go on the sites the players just keep loading and doesn't appear properly, I unistalled flash player 7 and installed flashlite 3.1 but with that there are no players at all. Is this due to the firmware update or an I doing something wrong.
By the way is the any news on the official r3a firmware release date.
i read that HD2 has a flash player but if you look at this site
www.expedia.com
the portion of flash (to the right) will not be seen
The HD2 comes with a standalone Flash Lite player, for playing SWF files.
Opera does not support Flash (I think the Opera 10 beta may do, but the default installed version 9.7 does not), but IE does.
It's not the phone that plays Flash files. It's the software.
You can also get get Skyfire, a free alternate browser. However, Opera gives a really better browsing experience, so the best choice would be to keep Opera for standard browsing, and use Skyfire for flash.
the Flash Lite player does not play my .swf files??
is this the reason why my kids could not use my HD2 to play on facebook/farmville ?
