Hi, I've recently been playing around with my gf's HTC EVO 4G. The other day she installed flash 10.1 from AuxLV's post:
forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6569529&postcount=16
I curiously visited sites to see if video would work. To my amazement, veoh, myspace, wisevid, tnt.tv(Leverage), and many other flash videos work. I noticed people have had mixed results but I believe I've narrowed down the issues people have been having to, quite hilariously, a simple fix.
When you go to a site, for example veoh, and you click on a video. It looks like the video is about to come up but nothing happens. All you have to do is actually *click* on the video again and it will start playing.
Lol... so there it is... people haven't been "clicking" on the videos. Maybe out of fear that that tapping the video while it's loading would upset the delicate space-time continuum that holds the fabric of the universe together and make the video not come up, lol. Idk, but there you have it folks, start your *clicking*, and havezzza funs.
Oh also, I have used the dolphin browser hd and I think I clicked on the play button as well as the actual center of the videos. It'll look like a white box of nothing but when I tap the video it starts playing in magnificent quality. Good luck!

I tried the TNT Vanilla and liked the look of it, but it wouldn't load right...loaded it twice and got some sort of start up error about one of the cabs not loading. Also had some issues with texting, saving, etc. Only had it like one day and then loaded the Pro version, but kept getting errors popping up on it too. I really liked the streaming video, but it wouldn't read some of the clips I already had in my phone of my kids, etc.
I didn't encounter any of this with Hornet, so I went back to the Hornet...however...no streaming video. How can I add the streaming video to the Hornet?
Thanks!

On a website that I frequent when in the car to watch random junk (tech and other news) often times the videos are upwards of 100+ megs. rather than watch the annoying talking and summary of the videos i like to skip ahead and just see what all the stories have.
often times when doing this i will get a FC on Movies.apk and if i try to start it again it will show the first frame of the file and then do nothing. The bar moves like the object is playing but there is often no sound and never any video once this happens.
I have found that if i let the film completely download first and then play it i dont get these problems, but if I try to move around, either forwards or backwards thats when the problems happen.
FWIW, i am on enom 1.8.1 and it has been doing this since 1.7.1
no theme and no browser mods.
i hate to do this, but its killing me as to why it wont stream properly... especially when the G1 has no problem doing so.
Works great, sound goes off sync if you stretch the video though.
Just moved an episode of Curb your Enthusiasm over and it played flawlessly. at 100% size. No conversion.

MOD EDIT; deleted.
ARGH nevermind.. this was already posted. My bad.
trying it out
While this is awesome, I have had some issues. After a couple minutes, the audio and video lose sync. Does anyone else have this problem?
I also do not like not having any setting options, but if the above issue gets fixed than that's enough for me.
i played one video that i had on my phone. the audio completely cuts out after like 3 secs. i'll keep the app for now but i'm not too impressed with it so far.
I don't think discussion of the product is a problem with the mods but posting links is (discussion of this went on about a week or two ago)
I tried watching the first episode of Testees (xvid) on my phone last week and on several tries, it kept skipping through several minutes of video when it kept hitting the same location. Was able to watch it on my laptop without any issues. I'm looking forward to an update so I can try it again.
The only thing missing is SMB support.
I've removed the link in the op. Please do not post links to this download.
I watched a full divx movie that I got from a questionable source......it played fine. I was impressed. I got the link from Modaco forum. It is in beta so I wouldn't be too hard on the dev.

No need to post here...
Google is full of Rockpl.beta
Its great...watched a few mma events and a few wmv samples all worked fine.
An HD. Mov from a camera worked but super low framerate but surprised it played at all.
Great work so far for beta.
audio and video are great for me
remembers last paused position (flakey for me in yxplayer)
having some issues with the screen calibration. very few occassions after loading the player i touch the middle of the screen it thinks i am pressing home button or pauses the video etc
all in all im happy with it
I only ask because this will be my third infuse, first one the screen broke, second one was stolen.
I like the infuse however I am not a fan of these problems:
Can't play youtube videos in the background
Youtube videos, or other flash videos don't just start playing by themselves
So I was thinking about possibly another phone, though I love this phone (screen, camera and all)
I was also thinking about trying to flash ubuntu (it would be a PC! at least this what I think anyways)
I was just wondering if there were better phones out there under AT&T for the money, not sure if my insurance would allow me to jump from one phone to another so easily... need to talk to the guys at the shop.
Thanks for any input
I don't know what you mean by YouTube does not start by itself but no android phone let's you play a video in the background. I would keep the infuse but get insurance on it.
What I mean by that is
On a PC (desktop or laptop etc... pad even)
A video starts playing by itself when you click the link, or refresh the page, this is not so
I mean perhaps the flash hasn't quite gotten there yet and I should appreciate the fact that I can even stream youtube videos in the first place
And the other part is, once I have this clicking, as soon as I minimize the web (press home) the music stops, same thing happens when I press the power button
(I like to look up a lot of music on youtube and listen to it in the background) while performing other tasks
thanks for the reply
Flash on Android is suspended when out of focus. There's nothing you can do about this, and it's unlikely that will change since Flash was discontinued for all mobile platforms.
flash is discontinued. It it still works and is useable just won't be updated

unfortunately this isn't just an infuse issue. Most phones i've tried won't let you watch youtube videos in the background, only if it's the main app open.
Get another Infuse. They're great phones and dirt cheap now. The only other one that's remotely better than the Infuse and the same size is the Skyrocket, but that one is $250 at the moment...and AT&T doesn't seem to be handing them out cheaply. Or you can drop down in size and get the S2...but that one is still $199 because it's a good seller. We should be getting our official GB release sometime in December so grab another Infuse and help decrease the surplus inventory.
(skip to second paragraph if you're not interested in a mild rant)
In one of the recent updates for the YouTube app while streaming to the Chromecast it'll automatically add every video you've watched to the TV queue. That's fine as I don't mind having a list of the recent videos I've watched, but the part that bothers me (enough to create a thread, which I can't remember the last time I started one) is that the video is added to the top of the queue. This makes every video that you just F***ING watched play all over again! Again, I'd be fine with this if there was any type of preferences within the YouTube app to disable such an asinine "feature" that I'm pretty sure was solely created to boost the number of views of their videos (as I see no other purpose). It really feels like Google is going the way of taking away many options within their apps and it's bugging the s**t outta me to no end. The Chrome browser within Android use to have a plethora of options such as choosing user agents and things of that sort but that option is no longer available either. [/rant]
Is there any way to disable the autoplay "feature" of the TV queue while using the Chromecast, or the TV queue altogether if needed? My current version of the YouTube app is 5.7.41 and I'm not sure when this bug was introduced exactly.
Let me know if there's more information needed, I've been out of the modding scene for awhile (I'm actually pleased with stock Android on my Nexus devices).
Thank you for any assistance that can be provided, even if it's the version number that I can roll back to before the TV queue.
Just to say that i also think its fu..in anoying! I was searching for some kind of solution and found this thread. Only thing left is to hope that youtube will change that in the upcoming update...
Well, I appreciate seeing that I'm not the only one being bothered by this. I had forgot about this thread do to the (seemingly) lack of interest and I was reading comments on my tablet while a video played on my Chromecast, when the video ended it changed to the next video on my tablet and gave no ****s as to what I was doing. Android/Google used to be the king in my book as they gave options for everything, but they seem to be following in the same footsteps as Apple nowadays and it is sorely disappointing.
Ok, this has got to be affecting more people now. I thought my newest mishap was just a glitch, but even after reboots the bug (feature) exists now anytime I stream anything from my laptop as well! The goddamn problem is also WORSE than the tablet issue because at least the tablet takes you to the video it is streaming so you can stop it an remove it from the queue. Apparently that wasn't a big enough F*** UP(!) for Google so now if you play a youtube video from a laptop that is part of a playlist, then play a different video that's not within that isn't within a playlist, when the non-playlist video is over the previous playlist will start playing again. ARE YOU ****TING ME!?!?! Now I have a playlist playing on my Chromecast that the ONLY ****ing way I can get it to stop is to start playing another video and then stop it!. Please inform me that the lead developer/designer setting the path for Chromecast has autism or some other disorder they have a legitimate reason for being this ****ing stupid.
I totally agree with you guys, it doesn't make any sense why it behave that way!!
bumping this, as i'm bothered by this as well
wonder why it doesn't affect more people though... it's probably not a widely used feature
I am also very pissed off with this! Every now and then, in the middle of the video, it pops up.
It stays there for hours (at the minimum) and it lowers that brightness and has the annoying symbol for it covering the content of the video!!!
This is extremely disappointing!
Bothered by the same thing. The problem was fixed a while ago, but now it seems it's back. As soon as I want to play/cast a video, the TV queue is populated with all other videos in that playlist. I would like it to play THAT video, then stop. :/ I can removed one and one video, but that sucks when it's maybe 60 videoes in that list.
