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
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)

Hi,
I've just installed the latest WM6 rom on my 8525 and also installed Flash player 7 along with the java addons. I've tried viewing videos from youtube and mtv from both internet explorer and opera mini 4 beta 3 but any video i click it always says flash player not installed and click here to go to adobe etc.... Can someone help me configure it so I can play flash videos? thanks
cmon, somebody has to have an answer for this. I can't load any videos on standard pages for myspace, mtv, youtube, etc. it says javascript is either turned off or you dont have the right player. I downloaded flashplayer 7. Running mini opera 4 beta 3 and pocket IE as well as picsel browser.
Mobile browsers not designed for video
Neither of the browsers you are trying are capable of displaying flash based videos. The Opera Mini will probably never support them because it is a Java based browser for use on most any phone. There is a Windows Mobile Opera that is in beta, last I heard, that claims to support flash based videos, however the only thing I could get it to do was crash my 8525, forcing me to soft reset, at which time I then uninstalled it completely. As you will see in the instructions at one of the links below, there is one more file you can download that will play the videos, which seems to be accomplished through the link from internet explorer triggering the thirdparty app to open and strat trying to play the video.
You could try the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=326225, however I have not tried them and can not confirm for you if they work.
The way I currently play these type files is using a program called AvotMV. AvotMV has a internet browser type feel to it, and when you play the videos it will automatically play them "full" screen (in portrait mode). If you want to try AvotMV, you can download it for free from the developers here here http://www.avotmedia.com/
the tcpmp and flashbundle works beautifuly. especially on a highspd connection. the newest version givesthe choice dowloading or streaming it. You will have to unistall flash7 as it will clash with flashbundle plugin. I posted awhile back if some could figure out how to get them to work together or at least independently on different browsers because the tmpcp flash plugin will only play videos not other flash content.
That explains it...
I have the official flash 2.1 from adobe for WM5/6 which allows me to use one of the spinning cube flash controllers. Would be nice if someone could figure it out because this does not look like it will work for me until a fix is made.
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!!!
Hey all,
I've noted that the recent iteration of Chrome behaves oddly when hitting on a video link.
For example, if I go to ESPN and hit on the play button, I'd hear the audio part in the video, but no video. The only way to get it to work is to get the link to launch in a new tab in order to select the video player that I want. This never happened before. My defaults are properly set.
Any thoughts on what this could be due to?
Thanks~
in chrome, mines show a pop up of what I want to use play the video. whether I want to use a browser, MXplayer, Stickit mediaplayer, or overscreen browser. it doesn't do it on all videos but I think its the ones not optimized for html5. or if its a flash type.
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.
