Has anyone tried the Crackle streaming movie app? I only get audio and no video.
Yep same here. Been this way for a bit now. I think I read somewhere its a bug in flash 10.3. So I wasn't all that susprised.
Crackle with default browser
Yep, same here... The Crackle app does not work for me either---get blank screen with audio only. However, crackle.com does appear to work with either the default browser of Dolphin HD. (Using Stock 3.1, unrooted)
Same here, audio but no visual on stock rooted 3.1 through app.

Not sure if it's just me or not but I'm having a lot of issues with downloading files over the air using the stock browser. Files whether they be apk's,zip,rar or mp3 rarely download successfully. I always have to use firefox browser for the downloads to complete. is anyone else having this issue? I have already reverted back to stock kernel to see if that may have been the issue. Also another problem that I been having is a lot of my videos (.mp4) that use to play just fine in the native video player don't play back anymore. I just get a black screen of it trying to load and have to use moboplayer which is fine since moboplayer works great but definitely annoying.

Try accessing the videos using a file-explorer rather than using Gallery, so they start that way. Gallery can be a bit picky every now and then, especially if you move your files around a bit.
I have the same problem, it seems to me that direct links to file work ok (no matter what the file type is), but links with redirects don't work (it downloads the redirecting page not the file).
Hi All,
My S2 isn't very good at playing back flash video. My old HTC Desire would play any video embedded on a web page that you threw at it, but on the S2 it pauses, stutters and generally looks crappy. Video recorded on the device is fine.
Anyone else seen this?
Mine plays every flash video perfectly, even Youtube 1080p flash video. Must be something your doing wrong or crap internet connection.
Sounds like a bad internet connection...is your flash updated to the latest?
I am sure you are trying to play them with latest Flash player installed and on Stock browser. Yes, I too can play the 1080p videos very well, and after updating the ROM to KI3 the Stock browser has gotten more smooth. I love it.

Yep, i agree...works very smooth, no compaints at all....
If you are using Flash Player 11, just make sure you turn off "peer-assisted networking" from the flash settings app.
Mine is doing exactly the same... poor choppy playback acts as if it's buffering all the time. If I pause the video and let it buffer for a while then play the buffered part it STILL plays back choppy :-(
I'm in Canada on Telus, my network connection is excellent, showing 'H' in the notification bar... tried it on wireless network at home too (which has no issues on other phones or on the PC's). I had a Desire HD too and that worked fine on the same setup.
Any help would be appreciated!!
PS I tried deactivating 'Peer-Networking' but that made no difference. Have also tried different browsers (stock, dolphin, skyfire) and alos uninstalled and reinstalled flash.
Mine goes choppy as well on sd video on some sites. But I have had it play fine minutes before but different video link on same site. But this is on a site which the stock browser wont play, when forced to be detected as a desktop browser through useragent, and I had to use skyfire browser so maybe that is the reason
Hi guys,
Rooted (CF-Root)
Stock Samsung Firmware: I9505XXUAMDE (Vodafone NZ)
I have installed Adobe Flash 11 using one of the many .apk files found on numerous websites (pretty sure I got it from XDA) but I'm having some weird issues. On my S2 I had no problem watching streamed videos using Dolphin and installing Flash Player after they dropped support, it still worked fine.
With my S4 however, something weird happens.
When I go to the website for the video, the video itself will be black and nothing plays.. once i tap the black area 3-4 times the video will start playing but I can't see any video controls, there's no pause, no progress bar, no volume.. nothing.
I thought I'd try a different browser, using the stock browser I can't stream the video directly from the page, but it opens the video and streams it using the phones media player app... I prefer this, the video is clearer and you have direct control over the video.
However, I still want to fix the problem above, because I prefer using Dolphin over the Stock browser :\ Could this be an issue with Dolphin? but that makes no sense because it works fine on my S2? has anyone had this problem?
tldr: dolphin streams videos but no video controls appear, stock browser streams the videos fine but does it via samsungs media player on the device
appreciate any help.
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?

There are all versions for 4.0 at that link, I don't use AOSP or dolphin on my Note 3 but .81 the newest works fine with Firefox on mine

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,
Since updating to 4.4, I'm having an odd problem. When visiting sites in Chrome that have embedded YouTube videos (forums, blogs, etc), I can play the video but no sound comes through. I can open the YT app and play the video normally. I downloaded Dolphin Browser and videos play fine.
I tried switching over to ART and back to Dalvik. Made no difference either way. Also tried clearing default applications in case video playback was somehow tied to an app that wasn't fully 4.4-compatible.
Anyone else having the same problem?
As a side issue - I can't interact with the like/dislike/share icons at the top of the video. Is this also a common thing?
having the same issue: embedded youtube videos on chrome browser does not have audio.
did not update bootloader, sideloaded odexed 4.4

Yeah, I should note that as well - I sideloaded - I did not get OTA.
As an experiment I went ahead and did the nuclear option - restoring to the factory image that just got released. Good news, that did the trick and videos in Chrome are now behaving.
Bad news...now I have to wait for all my apps to restore
Weird. Wiped, updated boot loader, flashed deodexed and now it is working.
