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?

Hi,
I have found a solution by using firefox beta browser for android, works like a charm; I am downloading the videos and watching them by using rockplayer.

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?

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.

it was wifi...
the problem is that even after being completely downloaded the vids are choppy (as in 1-2 fps) during playback
Youtube is working in my PIE.. I have Flash 7 and the videos are showing in the browser? Anyone else want to try?
thnx 4 the heads up
Do you have WM6. Because on my Imate Jasjam with WM5 I get the message that the browser does not support Javascript. I can run youtube on Opera Mobile 8.65 Beta on the same device.

Are you referring to the mobile version of youtube? If so, yes - I'm able to get it to stream using streaming video on my 8525. Haven't tried the standard youtube site though.
The performance of Flash 7 and Standard YouTube is terrible on my Tytn/VarioII/Hermes.
Very choppy and CPU hungry....

Yeah.. only a few videos work but it is streaming in internet explorer which is nice. I'm not talking about m.youtube.com im talking about the standard youtube.
I do have WM6 also.. vp3g's rom.
Wait until video fully loads and IE stops downloading, then video works great..
is there a way to get flash on the device without using a desktop computer. I was looking at the site using pie and I can't find it. I could use my desktop but it seems that a mobile app should be able to get a mobile version minus the midle man.
Any links?

TRY WWW.TINYTUBE.NET

Sorry if this is old news but I've been looking for something to play flash on my XDA for a while but I couldn't find a mention in any forums, so I tracked this down on the adobe site
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer_pocketpc/downloads/player.html
again sorry if it's old news but you never know someone else may have been looking for the same thing
Edit reason - realised people may skip this if they thought I was looking for a copy rather than I'd found one, also attached the file just in case it disappears from the adobe site
won't play
i've downloaded the flash player and installed it..but i still can't watch videos from youtube??? any suggestions on how i might fix this???

If you want to watch videos from YouTube and other sites, just use Vtap!

Good luck,

You're right! I was looking for this. Many thanks.
Actually for watching youtube videos flashplayer 7 is not enough, because, if I am right, the video streaming feature (which is used by every video site) has been introduced only in flashplayer 9.
Hi,
This tool will help you to enable flash support into your Opera browser: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4255967&postcount=21

Flash Player on Skyfire
If anybody wants to watch any flash movies....you need Skyfire web browser... it plays everything from youtube to online movies like hulu and everything you could think of.

Thanx and welcome to the forum... skyfire has been around for around a year... and opera can also play flash if you use the fix flash cab....
Ading to Rajiv comment I have to say that Opera 10 is the best browser I ever had!
Just tried using SkyFire browser and thats not working too, if only flash would work
Then no it won't work since I've tried the ARM v6 modded Flash Player and it doesn't work on the iPlayer/ITV Player sites and apps.
Would upgrading to the 2.3 release not help this?

BBC made them kill the iPlayer streaming and even with old versions of the .apk they seem to have blocked it from accessing their streams.
There's beebplayer.
There's also catchuptv.com
Think you mean m.tvcatchup.com, only does live tv though
beebplayer hasn't worked (for me) for a long time now
read somewhere that bbc iplayer works on gsf 19 thru skyfire
I use stock browser
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA Premium App
I can confirm that skyfire can play iplayer files from video library I didn't manage to start the live stream video, but radio streams work fine.
I use GSF (b13), but this should work on other roms (there is no need for flash player).
I have american android 2.3.7 CM7,2 NAND
I have installed adobe flash player 11.
Im using opera mobile browser or dolphin browser.
When Im watching a flash video the player is not able to play it properly. The image suddenly stops whilst the sound is going on. Or the video stops working completely.
Could somebody tell me where the problem could be ?
The problem is in ADOBE
They screwed flash player lately. You can't do much.

I'm using TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 Nightly v3.7.6 and use maxthon browser (latest version) and touch wood all flash seems to be working well for me, Maybe give maxthon a go?
You know, flash player is also hardware dependant. So if adobe doesn't fully support older hardware then video playback is not smooth. Also last updates made it only worse. Evo 3D is very powerful unit, and even on software rendering far exceeds HD2 capability
