Just got a htc Touch 2.
Installed opera mobile v10b2, works great. Having problem getting a flash player for it. Can't play video or flash games.
Tried adobe site. v7 doesnt work on our wm6.5
It installs but still dont play video on iplayer etc
Any advice...?
You should try skyfire. It works pretty well on my mega. There are a lot of videos on youtube about it. Hope it helps.
Thanks for the reply htctouch2PT
I tried Skyfire... and my response was.. "eewww"
Compared to Opera10, its really a mess. It reminds me of Yahoo homepage from back in the days.
Anyone else got any suggestions on where I can get flash player fro opera mobile10?
...or if Adobe are going to release a new version of flash player for ppc

You need Opera 9.5 / 9.7 and this: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544770. I've personaly installed it on my Mega and works flawlessly with YouTube.

hi everyone. i am wondering how many of you are able to view
http://www.youtube.com
content on your athena using opera or t'internet explorer?
I am presuming that most people at the moment are using t-mobile
devices and roms which come with bult in opera like mine. I saw a post for a new version of flash player for ppc so i updated expecting to be
able to view youtube movies.......
I have tried to update opera as well to 8.65b but this hasnt helped me.
Does anyone else have any luck?

This is what I found on the topic...

Based on my research...there are mixed results - some can play YouTube while others can't. Someone reported that there seems to be a compatibility issue between the Flash available for PocketPC's and the Flash used to encode the video on YouTube. Another article above mentions installing the latest Opera AND Flash Player 7 for PPC. Apparently YouTube uses the latest Flash while the latest version of PocketPC Flash is equivalent to 7.x. Since 7.x isn't forward compatible then you can't watch the video's on your PPC until they come out with an updated version. This is what i found based on my Google searches. There is also a report that YouTube is making their site PocketPC compatible in May. If I find otherwise, I'll post it for you guys.
well you can play youtube vids with the new opera beta and latest flash player...at least on the jasjar
the only prob being that it is way to choppy at the moment

When you said it is choppy, could you also clarify what network were you using? Is is UMTS or HSDPA? What download speed was it when you made that observation?
Thanks for the info.

the problem is that even after being completely downloaded the vids are choppy (as in 1-2 fps) during playback
Hi
Can anyone tell me if I should be able to watch flash videos from the BBC news website? I am using stock opera 9.7 and I can't view them. I know that the device is not flash 10 compatable (gggrrr) but am unsure if I should be able to view the videos embedded on the bbc news site. Can anyone else??

It used to be possible to play them in Internet Explorer, but I've a feeling the BBC may have changed the format recently. I don't think they'll play in Opera Mobile 10, either, even though that does have some flash support. Your best bet is probably to use Skyfire.
They work in IE just fine for me, even the watch live streams for bbc2 ,3 etc work the only videos that dont work for me on the BBC site are the Live bbc 1 stream and iPlayer which show green and garbled stuff
Opera has never worked on the bbc videos for me at least, always moans about no javascript enabled or wrong version of flash
just tried to use IE and when I click a video IE crashes and closes. very anoying.....
Try, http://get.skyfire.com/.
thanks, i have used skyfire and it works ok but seems v slow compared to opera. I was trying to see if its possible just to have one browser that does everything! I guess not. It's very annoying and the only thing that really niggles me about the HD2. You'd think browsing would be the thing they'd really want to sort but no..... we still have to use 2 or 3 browsers depending on what we want to do. A bit of a joke really......
I hope some clever bod here can somehow get flash 10 to work on the HD2 seeing as it now seems that Adobe aren't!! I wonder if I could sue adobe? You spend £300+ on a handset as they say the HD2 will be the first WM device to support flash10 then a few weeks after I splash out they announce that they are no longer doing so!!! ggggrrrrrr

unfortunately, you just can't.
Opera has flashlite (kind of acts like flash 8). you could play flash games and view a video directly from youtube.com but that is just what it can do.
A lot of limitations if i may say, but that is all we can have for now.
Hi i can't watch vids on the web what's the problem?
I can't watch on IE Opera and Opera 10 Skyfire
how can i make flashplayer work
it says flashplayer is 2 old need 2 update but no update available for Leo
most sites wont work, but if you enable plugins in opera mobile 10, youtube will work i haven't really tried any other sites
i know youtube work but i mean random vids other sites

Good luck!!! untill WP7 and then the adobe flash release for it your going to struggle. Did i say struggle?! i meant suffer.
But at least it's better than what the iPhone has, which is no flash at all. There is a reason for it but i'm on the beer tonight and i can;t remeber the exact details but it has something to do with most sites running flash 10.1 and WM can't thanks to MS missing out a couple of API's in WM 6.5 that were planned to be there.
With IE mobile you can play flash. Only if it is on youtube.
Surf with IE mobile to www.pocketnow.com or wmpoweruser.com and click on one of the vids (linked to youtube). And volia it plays in HTC player.
I have not had any issues with flash sites in skyfire, what sites in particular where you having trouble with? the youtube app is best too browser youtube with but i havent found any site that dont work which require flash when viewed in skyfire :S
Hi,
I've just installed uZard web browser and it's played everything I've thrown at it - it even plays flash games, not just videos.
Cheers,
Inclement

Oh dear, looks as though the spin doctors at Adobe have got to you. Have seen flash 10.1 running on the hd2 and it looks great (have a look around the devs section on adobe website for video). Adobe binned it because there was no point in spending any more time, effort and money in releasing it for "a dead os", and came up with that excuse which, rightly so, points the finger at M$.
Hi everybody,
Has anyone try to view flash video on the streak; has anyone issues with it and how did you resolve this? I am on a site which is broadcasting flash videos; my streak is charging them but nothing happens, any ideas? How can I resolve it? Do I have to download something? (I am running the official dell froyo update)
Thanks for answering
It SHOULD play the vids. I've tried iplayer on Wifi and it worked really well indeed (I'm using Steve's custom 2.2 build 1.4.1)
....thinks....ooh yeah - have you downloaded the flash 10.1 player from the market?

good one
Adobe flash player
Yes I did but on some sites it's charging without playing...
hmm. any sites in particular? I'll try them on mine and see what happens (assuming they're respectable of course... )
Its a belgian news site : "rtl info.be"; the video's are charging but not playing.
well I've had a quick look and it's certainly downloading the vids BUT at work I just don't have a fast enough connection - a couple of bars of Edge is the best I get.
I'll try again at home, on Wifi. They seem to be quite big files.....
Ah just noticed - they're mp4 not flash! Hth?
