Just got my a500 and love it. I like being able to view flash sites and my wife watches streaming videos a lot. She is able to watch ABC.com but not nbc.com videos. Her coworker got the transformer and was able to play nbc.com videos on his stock browser. Wondering why it doesn't work on iconia. I've tried all other browsers, ie dolphine, skyfire, opera, but no luck.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
No luck here either.
Alright, thanks. Hope someone figures it out. I wouldn't mind it so much if Asus Transformer weren't able to view it as well.
cant get it to work either but I use an app called "TV shows stream" and it lets me watch all the TV shows/series I want. Works well on iconia.
Yes it does, I watch TV shows with this app all the time.

I'm streaming the office right now... try after updating to flash 10.3
Are you talking about the paid version? Cuz the lite version doesn't have the shows. Also it would be nice to figure out how to get the nbc.com to work.
soon as I received my Acer iconia A500 I rooted it and went on the browser and tried the old trick. you know about:debug then it gave me the debug option once inside there I change the uaString to desktop just in case to avoid being redirected to a mobile site.
I went to nbc and I was able to play the office but it was kinda choppy and when I tried to long press full screen the screen just turn black.
I have the same problem!
I am on the phone with acer, do not by an acer the support makes dells look like the best ever. These people suck, and want to charge me to show me how to get the iconia to work on nbc.com/the office and yahoo news videos. I am taking it back!

I have tried the flash you can download from the market and the droid x version and they bih sucked in their own wonderful ways.
Just for kicks i thought I would sideload the version I could download with my nexus and it works much better than the other two. 10.1. 105.7
No root on either, went to market on nexus, dl flash, i have app installed that auto moves to sd, used astro to back it up, renamed it from pkg.apk to flash... and emailed it to myself, installed directly from email.
I don't do much that uses flash so tested what I could find. Youtube was smooth and a game off the flash demo site worked.
If you have a good site to test it on, leave a link and I will let you know how it works.
Any chance of loading it on here so we can test it on our 101's ??

That's a pretty intense site. it works, but much choppier than my computer which still had some trouble keeping up.
The biggest problem I saw is on the computer, the rotations tried to follow the mouse. on the tablet, it seemed to think there was a bunch of input where there was none. (flicking back and forth and all around). Probably doesn't work well on other touch screen devices either.
What's a common site that uses flash?
When you say smooth on youtube, is it immediately smooth? the flash I have on mine goes smooth if you give it about 5 seconds. I cant interact with flash videos though. "Sometimes" I manage to fastfoward. Of course full screen doesn't work, volume doesnt work,. Etc...
Mine is smooth right away, full screen works .. I just picked a random video (imagine no toilets) I expected a parody on imagine, but I was able to move the selector anywhere in the downloaded stream smoothly. when i went ahead too far, it glitched while it built a new buffer, but so does my laptop.
just tried another one and if the spool is not finished, it seems to restart the stream from my new point, but it's pretty quick. I am also using HQ mode. hmm that seems like an error with the spool bar as I can easily move back and forth between the known downloaded points.
For anyone who wants it, here you go!
I tried it out on my 101 and it works good for the lower quality videos. It still skips and freezes on the HQ stuff. (This is of course using the browser and not the youtube app)
I tried the apk from my N1 also (same version as OP) without success. I tried a youtube vid from archosfans and it was very jumpy. I then tried a video from NFL.com with worse results.
I got a video at MetaCafe to work which is a first. Break.com was a fail as was most every other site I used.
So, it appears this is a bit better as I could not get any to work using the droidx version. I hope Archos gives us a decent one soon...

Adobe is the holdup; they have to provide a certified version. It seems like I've been waiting on Adobe to do stuff for about 25 years now.
I have gapps4archos v4 installed and i can't seem to find flash (even unoptimized flash) in the market.
Can anybody help?
Heres the flash i use for my 101 , it plays Youtube in full screen and on HQ no problem , web page flash is sometimes a bit jerky , but in general the best i have found . Cant remember the exact source , so credit to the person i received it from .
can you post a link of a HQ youtube video that plays smoothly?
For me nothing is played smooth except the mobile optimized pixelated videos, this is the same as with the market flash...

Youtube app isn't flash. Only if you go to the desktop Youtube page will it be flash.
Doh,
i swear my youtube didn't work until i reinstalled flash
I'll remove it and see if yt still works
Tried on 101 with dolphin with desktop useragent. Doesn't work. Hangs on youtube will play some flash but very choppy.
So, the youtube app still works well with flash removed after reboot, but you can't use the www website to link to videos.
Hello,
I just ordered my galaxy tab today and I'm looking for good accessories for it.
I watch a lot of videos from megavideo and I wanted to know it works good on the galaxy tab so I could buy the TV out cable and watch it from the tv.
Can anyone tell me if megavideo works fine on galaxy tab? Because I had another tablet with android 2.2 and the sound of the videos had different timing compared to the video itself.
also anyone knows if the Flash player works fullscreen using the tv out.
Thanks.
yes it does work. i use it all the time. it just depends on your connection. i get a lot of buffering which is annoying as hell but once its going its.....gone! after a lil it works just fine. i use it to watch my anime and i use the video out and it works good.
have you guys tried the Megavideo application? it's still a beta version, but it should work without problems..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11621885
please, check it out and let me know your feedback!
The megavideo app works ok... but there is a app "TV Shows Stream" it is very good, check out the trial
If you want to watch movies too on megavideo, use the Megavideo app... and with chrome2phone you can send the links from the Browser directly to the tab and it automatically detects megavideo links
It downloads in flash format... not original Format AFAIK, but good to watch though
I watch quicksilverscreen via TV out just fine

Has anyone tried the new PlayOn app available for Android? I was disappointed to learn of Netflix's presence on Android will only encompass future Qualcomm powered phones. (Still hoping someone will be able to modify it). But PlayOn seems like the next best thing for Netflix streaming to our Android powered HD2's.
Just looking for any review or feedback. I will download the server app to my computer tonight and give an update for those that are interested.
Update: No one interested? Oh well. I said I'd update so... Confirmed. Netflix does indeed work with this app. Although, I had problems with the actual app. Was able to log into my Netflix account through the app; browse and view my instant queues but it wouldn't play for some reason. (Might be due to my slow internet from within my house though). But using stock browser and going to the playon mobile site I was able to stream my movies. Hulu did not work for some reason though. I have a modified flash to use with my hulu app and i thought that might be the problem. Uninstalled it and installed flash from market but hulu still asks me to install flash even going through playon. So not sure what to make of it. All in all: use hulu app if you want hulu. use playon if you want netflix. =]
What rom and version of flash player are you using. Not working on core droid rom for me.
NexusHD2 Gingerbread by tytung. And I use a modified apk of flash I found somewhere on xda. Lets me play Hulu. I think it was in the Nexus One threads somewhere. I don't remember.
i tried it. its slow. it works

I have had this software for quite some time and I must say it is great, best app I have. Not only for Netflix access on my GTab but all the other content I can watch on my phone as well as my tablet. More than worth the price, I can't imagine not having this software and app. I am able to stream videos from my home computer ,using my HD2 as a wifi router, to my GTab. The video quality over 3G is more than acceptable and the stream is usually steady enough to watch a movie or a live sporting event using ESPN 3 (yes it gives you access to that plus Hulu and about 15 othe chanels) I know I sound like a commercial but I have no stake in the company. Its a great piece of software that I feel everyone who watches online content would love and appreciate.
I know this topic is from while ago, but since it discusses PlayOn, I didnt want to open new one.
I installed PlayON as well. Server runs Ok on my PC, I am able to watch Hulu with my FAT+ and TV.
Recently got HTC Sensation 4G. Installed the PlayOn app, in the Server on my PC I enabled MObile access, router configured automatically, Mobile access test is green - passed.
Here is the problem - on my phone I can see the server, I can browse channels, but when i go to a show, I just see cover art and few lines of info in a table below the cover art.
Nothing is clickable and cant make it start anything.
I am using LAN access if that matters.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Playon issue with Rooted Gingerbread Bionic
I am having similar issues with my new rooted Bionic. My rooted Droid2 worked fine yesterday - but, my Bionic does not stream Playon on wifi or on 4g/3g. I don't know if it is an issue with being rooted - since I rooted the Bionic as soon as got it. I am able to find the server and browse channels, however, it will not play videos. It displays the first frame and then just goes black and eventually displays "Stream not found null". Any suggestions would be appreciated.
First post..Long time reader. My apologies if this needs to be somewhere else. Have a rooted Incredible with 2.2. Have read other threads, but am still trying to find a decent app or website for LIVE TV. I am NOT interested in video clips, old TV shows, movies or the like. Only LIVE TV like Espn, etc. ADTHE is somewhat helpful, but half the channels do not work. Some channels request that you download Veetle or Vshare. Please correct me, but I do not believe Veetle works on a mobile browser, and while I downloaded Vshare, it doesn't seem to do anything to help. Am I doing something wrong? I can in fact get some channels to work on ADTHE, but as I said, some just don't load; i.e Nickleodeon, SyFy, etc. Do any of you pros here know of any other app I need, or if there is a Veetle app for Android, or if I need to do something different. I have not only the stock browser, but also have Skyfire and Dolphin, but I get the same results with all of the browsers. This is a great forum, and I appreciate your help. thanks.
Orb.com
I put a tuner card in my pc and use orb.com website not the paid app to watch everything my tuner can tune. Also gives me access to all my music, recorded tv, folders, and can steam the webcam. Cheaper than a Slingbox and legal.
Thanks for your reply. Are you watching live TV on your PC or your Incredible? I know how to watch on my PC, but am trying to find a decent, reliable way to watch on my phone. I have checked the Market, and can't seem to find a TV tuner for mobile, or any other TV apps. Believe me, I have tried them all. If ADTHE would actually show all of the channels in their content list, that would be fine. But too many are always offline, or the like. Thanks again for your response. Anybody else know how to make all of those ADTHE channels actually work, especially Nickleodeon and SyFy? Please, live only.
I watch from my phone, anything my pc has on it or that the tuner can get, including webcams..
Orb will stream to most smart phones, you can set the output to flash, windows media .asx, or winamp .pls...
If you have Apple gadgets and the webpage wont work, try the free OrbLive app. Reviews say the paid version is kinda buggy.. I just got an touch 4th gen and it is not wanting to play... I have used Treo's, Blackberries, WinMo 6.5, and Android and have had it work great.. not sure what's up with this crapple right now...
Never knew you could do this, thanks for the info.
Hi guys, I've just realised that the BBC Iplayer is no more visible on Google Market,even in "My Apps" section after installing the latest 3.2 update. I know the app doesn't function as expected at the moment but I installed it just in case BBC decicides to update the app in order to work properly on honeycomb. Could someone from UK (with the latest 3.2 update) please confirm if the app is still in market. Cheers
Oh no! WHAT SHALL WE DO NOW?!?!? OPEN A BIG THREAD ABOUT IT!
It's not really an app, it's a shortcut to the iplayer website. Open browser, type iplayer. You can create the shortcut yourself and put it on the home screen. Oh, it does work, watching Torchwood
I installed the bbc iplayer app for mobile phones onto my acer a500 and was able to view episodes and live TV channels in full screen mode, though at first no pictures were displayed i.e. blank sreens,but audio from the streaming video played in the background. So,i pressed the blank (centre) portion of the screen for about 2 to 4 seconds then tapped the top left corner of that same blank portion (i.e. your left side when facing the screen ) and whala! full screen mode was displayed with pictures and i've been able to watch live bbc channels as well catch up on aired episodes. I know we can view BBC iPlayer via the website but it's nothing compared to the ease you get when using an app.
The iPlayer app (and by the way it is an app and not a shortcut to the I player website) is not compatible with stock 3.2. You can still view iPlayer output using the stock browser and the BBC iPlayer website.

Thanks for that. When you say you drum your fingers, how do you get that to get it going? It just sits there for me.
