[Q] unable to watch Video content

I'm unable to watch video content from the french/English news channel france 24. Before switching to Galaxy S, I was able to watch video news like a breeze on the iphone 3Gs.
Do I have to download any app or plug in that'll allow me to view video content?
Thanks very much

Is the Video Content streamed in Flash?

if it's Flash content, then read this topic to enable yours, if it was not already enabled

Streaming of any media that isn't flash doesn't work [UPDATE: It was a Sprint error]

For some reason anytime I try to stream something that isn't in a flash container just doesn't work. Music, videos whatever is in html 5 I guess. At first I thought it was just the youtube app that wasn't working, but when I use the browser (Dolphin HD and stock) and tried to stream content I would get an error. One site I used was giantbomb.com. All of their videos are html if you guys want to try. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a fix or something?
Edit: It's working again. From what I found online, Sprint ****ed up some numbers with the latest PRL and it blocked all streaming content on their android devices.

Updated in previous post.

Flash to HTML5.

Just a heads up to all the devs who use Flash for their apps. Check out Google Swiffy at http://swiffy.googlelabs.com/
Swiffy converts Flash SWF files to HTML5, allowing you to reuse Flash content on devices without a Flash player (such as iPhones and iPads).
Swiffy currently supports a subset of SWF 8 and ActionScript 2.0, and the output works in all Webkit browsers such as Chrome and Mobile Safari. If possible, exporting your Flash animation as a SWF 5 file might give better results.

Video Player for KF ICS CM9 streaming over DLNA.

Trying to figure out how to stream content from my desktop using PS3 Media Server (DLNA Service) to my Kindle Fire running CM9. I have found a couple of apps which will browse the DNLA content from my desktop, but they require a video player to hand off to. I have used a few video players and can't seem to get any them to work, they sit there acting like they're loading content but nothing happens in a few minutes.
Anyone have any suggestions on a setup that would work?

What I do, and it works perfect for me, is that I use two programs. Skifta and MX player. Skifta is what delivers the media, and MX player plays it. You can even use skifta to play your media if you are on another network. They are both free in Google play. If you are looking for a dlna program that would let you download your media from your server, then I would use bubbleupnp.

[Q] Adobe flash on AOSP browser?

I haven't found an apk for flash that works yet. Has anyone else or for dolphin version 8.x or higher or the AOSP browser?

Nope. With the latest flash version (11.1.115.81), in desktop mode, the stock browser doesn't play videos at all for me either. In mobile browser mode, youtube videos will play, but not directly in the browser. An external player takes over ( with no option to choose).
Same scenario, but with Dolphin Mini, videos play directly in the browser each time.
Using Hulu, the stock browser and Dolphin Mini both play video clips within the browser window while in mobile mode. It seems to be a made for mobile browsing kind of video player. As soon as switch to desktop mode, both fail to play any videos. The stock browser complains that Adobe flash player isn't installed, while Dolphin Mini receives a system not supported message.
As far as flash content goes (games, ads, banners, etc), the stock browser isn't having any of it (mobile or desktop). It just won't display it.
Dolphin Mini handles banners and advertisements pretty well in both modes. I was also able to get this game to load beyond the play button screen quite a few times, but it crashed right after tapping start on every attempt.
I don't really know what the best methods are to test flash, but from what I'm seeing, we may be SOL for the time being.

Have you guys checked out the latest version of Maxthon browser?
I HATED this browser when i tried it years ago, but they totally re-wrote it and its pretty amazing!
plays flash beautifully as well,
