A few months ago while we were all still running Flash Player 10.1 I found both a Flash Player mod AND a Hulu app that worked with the mod. Surprisingly enough, once Flash Player 10.2 came out that mod still worked. Unfortunately though that mod no longer works with Flash Player 10.3. Does anyone know a new Flash Player mod that's compatible with this latest update? I miss watching Hulu on my phone. :-(

Just make sure you uninstall Flash on your phone first before you install this hacked version. Then you will have to change the UserAgent setting on your browser to Desktop. If you don't know how to get to that setting simply type about:debug in the address bar of the browser and hit enter. You won't see anything happen after you do this. Go to Settings and you should have UserAgent as a setting available to you after that. Select Desktop and then you should be good to go.
I've found with Hulu, to be able to play videos without it freezing and/or the screen turning black on you, you will have to get into your settings on Hulu and set your Account/Settings and set your Playback Quality to 288p (you don't want to let it auto-select for you).
Good luck.
One more thing, if you have an ad-blocker like AdFree or something you will have to disable it otherwise Hulu will not like it and eventually stop working for you. It has to play the commercials.

Seems that the Flash player is not working in my A7. Some sites, like ESPN, just show the Flash Player logo where the video should be playing.. saying "Get Adobe Flash Player". I see that it is installed on the unit, but is not the latest version(10.1 vs 10.2.152.26). Should I try to upgrade the player or try something else?? I am a newbie to this..so looking for any help out there...Thanx!!!

Google Android Market
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.adobe.flashplayer
CURRENT VERSION: 10.1.106.16
Are you sure that Adobe released new version for Android ?
No.. you are correct. Didn't think to check if the Flash Player I was looking at was for Android. When I look at the application info it says the version on my A7 is 10.1.120.4. Still I am at a loss for what I can do about getting video to play on these sites, such as ESPN. No problem watching movie trailers on IMDB though... HELP!!

Just curious, are you using the stock WebKit browser, or something you downloaded like Opera Mini?
ESPN seems to work correctly with mine. (stock WebKit)
Just the stock browser. Only thing I have upgraded on the unit is the official upgrade from eLocity. It was working then just seemed to stop..Maybe I should do a factory reset...

I get a couple weird glitches once in a while, most seem to be solved by simply power cycling the tab.
Actually the first question I ask when people bring computer problems to me at work... "Did you reboot it yet?" lol
No...dont think its that, as I turn it off everyday. Just went to cnn.com...no video. Says "this CNN feature is optimized for Adobe Flash Player version 9 or higher." The uninstall button is the only button highlighted when I select it under "Manage Applications > Downloaded > Adobe Flash Player 10.1" And when I click on "Running" tab (applications running), its not there. I think my Flash Player is disabled or just not working. Maybe I should uninstall and try to reinstall.
In your browser, go to settings and make sure 'Enable Plugins' is set to always on.
Adobe Flash Won't show under Running even if your browser is currently on a flash page. IDK why.
THAT DID THE TRICK!!!! Thanx Zahg!!!
OK, so I had Orb working through the normal browser with the hacked version of flash, but now with new version I can't get it to play through the browser, I have tried both mobile and desktop views in the settings, I have tried reloading the hacked version of flash, I have tried different browsers, I have tried reseting after installing the old flash, and they all want me to choose a player which plays like crap rather than a browser that will play it well. I did finally get it to switch to browser mode after Installing the hacked version, but it wouldn't play, just hanged up, so I reset and tried again and again attempted to force me to choose a player.
Anybody that has this working consistently I would appreciate knowing the browser and settings you are using, thanks.

I've had my N10 for months but for some reason have never used iPlayer on it.
I went to use it today and when pressing the app it simply opens the mobile iplayer website in Chrome. Is this how it works? Have they been too lazy to actually make an app for Android tabs?
Also when I try to play something it tells me I need to install BBC media player. It is already installed.
I've tried reinstalling both apps and clearing their caches but I'm still having this same problem.
Can anyone help me out here?
just giving this a bump as I'm still having this issue.
I have the media player installed. I get this message even when I open iplayer via the media player app. I've tried clearing the cache of both apps but no improvement.
some help here would be great.
It is a bug that appeared in the last update. Hopefully they will fix it soon as I'm currently having to watch iPlayer on my phone.

I use AOSP browser or any other flash enabled browser like Firefox and play iPlayer in HD straight from the BBC website. I have never encountered a problem doing this. Just remember to request the desktop site in whatever browser you are using.
There are plenty of guides around on how to install and use flash on android 4.2 if you have not got it installed already.

Hi Guys, just bought the i9505 Qualcomm LTE version of the Galaxy S4 and after loading all my applications including the Flash player, I tried playing videos at youtube.com but found the message no flash player installed. I checked applications and it is definitely installed properly, I even installed UCS browser to make sure. On the stock browser I noticed that under settings, it is missing advanced options so I can't check if plugins are enabled.
Anyone managed to get flash to run on the stock internet browser care to share how it was done, many thanks in advance!
This video shows it working :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xA2erlhALA. However, after deleting cache and reinstalling flash, I was able to get one video to play on YouTube, but when I tried others, it said that I needed a newer version. But the one I downloaded was the most recent one for Android on the Adobe site???? Anyone have any answers.
However, when I click the video and it asks if I should play with the browser or YouTube, if I pick you tube it will play, and when I push th back button, it brings me back to the browser. I guess this is okay for Youtube but I wonder what happens if you encounter a video on a webpage. I went to Fox News and there found a video on it's page, click it played. Don"t know if it needs flash or not.
I went to ESPN, and clicked on a video, and it gave me a choice of download or Video Player. When I choose Video Player screen went blank nothing happened. Used back button to return to ESPN page. Didn't try download.
Nada, that's just opening up the video in the youtube app as opposed to viewing flash content in the browser. Looks like the stock browser is not using the flash plugin at all. Other browsers can use the flash plugin so only question remaining is how to activate plugins in the stock browser?
anyone got the same problem as me, maybe not galaxy related only, on chrome i goto bbc sport website and cant get any videos to work, it requests flash but it should use its own media player app which i have also downloaded, really bugging me, ivwe wiped chrome and all data and all bbc apps and reinstalled, still cant play a thing.
It works fine for me. I'm running a stock (NE2) rooted ROM.
I don't have Flash installed but I do have the BBC Media Player app.
