Has anyone been able to get ESPN 3 to work on their tab? Everything seems to load fine on the site for me until the actual video tries to load. And if I click on the video it brings up the box that usually only pops up when you hold down an image. BTW all other flash sites seem to load flawless for me

Hi
I cant get video`s to work on video google, they dont show up when the page loads, plus i hit the download button and theres no response, also when i go to play an internet flash game, the message comes up "PLEASE NOTE : To view this page properly, please enable Javascript and update your flash player.
Now as far as i know i have the latest flash player, so where do i enable javascript, didnt find it anywhere in IE options? I jsut assumed this sort of stuff would just work onm WM5..
Thanks

since i am facing the same problem 1,5 year later is there a solution to view streaming viedeos using either a newer macromedia version (i read something aboute flash lite 3) or something else using the internet explorer?
i did try to go to m.youtube.com and didnt manage to view any videos there also.
The only solution i have so far is to use the vtap program but i can't seem to view a small photo of the video before downloading it and also i cant fast farward it when it plays. This is why i am asking if there is a solution like for streaming videos from the S200. All i want is to view the videos like i view them from my pc . is ti so dificult?
(ps i am still on wm5)
thx in advance for any answer
nada????
oh well
it wasn/t so dificult after all.......
It just needed a lot of searching....
YOUTUBE is possible on pocket IE after all (and on WM5)
here is the solution (if there is anybody like me who didnt know it allready)

for youtube i just go to
http://ytpocket.com/
it emulates the youtube website and making it streaming with tcpmp. all the instructions are there as well the plugins needed are within the website.
I searched around, but it doesn't look like this has been directly addressed on xda.
Archos 101IT-16 2.2.1 .71
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.
Hi guys,
I recieved the phone yesterday. Brilliant phone.
However the videos on the iplayer app and the iplayer website do not work. The "play" button shows up on screen, the video begins to load (the little circle icon shows but it freezes) and it never plays.
Youtube works great so I cant see it as a flash issue, which I had updated too.
Any ideas?
Try installing/updating adobe flash and adobe air both from market.
On the default browser, make sure in settings -> enable plug-ins ...is set to always on
just tried mine with some top gear and it works works really well too
I know this sounds stupid, but you need to be connected via WiFi to watch TV programmes in the iplayer. So just to test, deactivate the data connection and browse the internet - possibly go to the bbc website and see if you can watch any of their news clips. If that works then try the iplayer.
Thank you very much for the reply guys,
I installed flash and air, and I also made sure data connection was turned off and wifi was the only thing on.
iPlayer still fails to load a video, and the bbc news website clips show the message "This content doesn`t seem to be working - try again later"
PS: just to confirm, the news clips works with a mobile data connection, just not wifi and iplayer asks for wifi, it must be my wifi. Thanks for the suggestions !
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?
Hi All,
I realise there is already a huge thread about the MK809II but I wanted to focus specifically on streaming media to it as I had hoped this would be its main use for me.
The first thing I installed was the iPlayer app. I have been quite disappointed with this as the streaming quality is very poor despite setting the app to use the highest quality available and my TV only being 720p to start. The iPlayer website generally works well when using firefox with the Desktop By Default add on. When available I can play the HD streams without any problem and even SD streams are better quality than the app.
4oD was my second installation. This has frustrated me even more. By default this will not play to HDMI out. My MK809II came rooted so I was able to hide the HDMI out from the app as described (I would've posted a link but I'm not allowed! Its easily found by googling). Now the app allows me to start playing a show but sits continually on a black screen with a buffering icon. I have tried instead to download a show, although there aren't many available, this does seem to download a significant proportion of the show but I always get the message 'Download failed'. Over the last couple of days despite not watching anything the app has downloaded over 2Gb of data! I have read that it will also fail to work if the device is rooted, I haven't had a specific warning about this but again tried another app to hide the fact that its rooted and restarted 4oD but the same black screen appears.
So I thought I could get round this by using the web site as I had with iPlayer, this allows me to log in ad browse around but I encounter the same black screen and buffering icon.
I haven't attempted SkyGO yet, I'm not feeling confident of getting anywhere with that if I can get 4oD to work! Nor have I tried ITV or Channel5.
For myself and others as anyone got a setup that works better than this or used other streaming services? Maybe decent quality out the iPlayer app - or anything out of 4oD?
