When we get Froyo and flash, should we be able to play facebook flash games? - Captivate General

My bro wants to buy the captivate but wants to know if he will be able to play those silly games

when you say.. silly games.. do you mean farmville :"> ..
and there are no specified dates.. just guestimates and rumors.
September is all hopes.
Flash I'm not sure, I heard it's out in the app store but I don't have a captivate to know if it works ;o

yeah all those games they like to play...I am more like Stan in South park! lol
I assume flash is flash and it should work.

At the very least, you would have to use a web browser that is capable of switching the user agent to a desktop browser's so that facebook will properly serve up the desktop version of the site. Not sure on the rest though. Dolphin HD is a great browser that will let you switch user agents.

I can't find Flash on the app store as of yet.. I thought it was out though because I have seen some people with it listed in their appbrain lists

yes you will! they have a video of froyo on utube and the guy is playing Farmville! YAY

Yes it will work because it works on my iPad (yes my iPad has Flash 10.1 ported from android). The only thing is that if it requires keyboard input then you will need to use a bluetooth keyboard

Yes he can play his facebook flash games.
Flash for android works as well as flash on a desktop.
Theres a couple videos on youtube showing off flash on android and it works really well.

No. Farmville does not work. My n1 will not play it... atleast last time I tried ... I saw the YouTube video where he plays itbtoo, but it says content not supported ....
That was last month, may work now but I doubt it...

MLB.COM working with Hulu fix...

I just installed the Flash fix found here for Hulu
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=802133
And it also works for mlb.com. You have to have an account and subscribe to the service but at least you don't have to fork over another $14.99 for the app which dosen't even stream games.
I am using the stock internet browser on an htc evo with froyo and the latest fresh rom but it should work with any rom if you follow the steps in the above link and uninstall flash and install the fixed flash and reboot..
Since the games on TBS are blacked out it will only work on archived games. But next season it should work fine for all games.
Let me know if this works for you also..
False, the app streams games.
I have it.
I have been watching games since we got flash and I never used the hulu fix or the hex edit.

Sorry... I thought the iphone app streams but android dosen't.. Might be thinking of Netflix.. Well at least if thyis works you can stream right from the browser next year and save some $$$
I always got an error message when trying to watch games. This is the first time I was able to.

I use this from the stock browser but it rarely plays the football games. Requires some software download.

The plugin is for desktop browsers only. Some of those streams just wont work on the evo.
When they link to regular flash streams they play fine. Unfortunately, since they are just linking to pirate streams, lots of the sites want you to download their junkware plugin and it only works on desktop browsers. Kinds sucks but usually the kind of people who risk pirating NFL and other big streams are doing it for the money. Every so often you get lucky and catch a regular flash stream and it works on Evo.
is there any apps where you can just watch tv in general?
thanks is great!!!!
TV.com, for CBS shows.

Invest in a slingbox pro hd and install slingplayer and you can watch all your channels available at home on your evo
Slingbox is a little too much right now I think for anyone to afford.. lol..

[Q] NETFLIX

when i go to watch netflix movies on my gtab the website lets me click on the movie but wont play it. it does it on certain websites too to watch videos. any suggestions?
Netflix is using the Microsoft Silverlight plugin to play the movies in a browser. This is not available for Android.
Playon is supposed to be released for Andriod ..... it plays netflix ....that seems to be the closest, soon to be viable option
Android app supposed to come this century. Hopefully that will help our streaming woes.

If they ever do it that would be nice. I have Playon loaded on my server and using an app called upnplay I can access Playon, but so far have not been able to play anything. It tries, and then quits.

I've heard that i doesn't work on rooted phones, i installed the new market, it should install along with the new market but it didn't. I guess that's due to me being rooted.

set the browser ua to desktop by typing about:useragent in the adress bar. then log into the gmail desktop site. once logged into google go to the web market at market.android.com/movies
the movies will play in the browsers video player at 480p which is the phones native res anyhow, I'm sure this is the same as google video will play it. they are hosted by youtube and I don't see the hq modes on my pc so id guess that's the quality limit.
this way it will play throuh mhl with no problems.
im rooted. the download wouldnt install from the market. it would start and then just stop for no reason. so i installed from apk. it works now, and with the market too. divx movies forward over to play in the samsung player.
Hey there Jack can you send me the apk? PM me and I'll give you my email address. muchas gracias.
thats ok. i put it in my dropbox. http://db.tt/Xya5KUS

Hey Jack thanks for the apk. It installed just fine but when I tried to play a movie I rented from the market (Wedding Crashers Unrated) I got the following error:
Playback not supported on rooted devices (Error 49)
Have you rented a flick from the market and if so were you able to watch it? I'm rooted and running Infused 153. Thanks again man.
Set the browser user agent to desktop, browse to the Android Market website, and launch the movie from there. Think that may work.
nope, i have yet to see anything i would want to rent over netflix.

yep this is how ive been doing it, works just fine.
ok, I'm a complete novice so can someone please tell me how to do this? I'm getting the rooted error 49 too and have no idea how to get the movie to play. I don't know how to open it in the browser either, so I am totally lost. I have a feeling I just wasted 3.99. Lol.

Any way to play Flash on WP7?

Simple and straightforward question. Is there a way to play Flash content on WP7? For example the use of a sort of 'Skyfire' browser or any other way.
Simple and straightforward answer: No
Flash video? Yes
Flash? No (not yet)
We are trying to think of a better more universal way to play flash video as now its quite tough to get right.
I thought there was no way to play Flash even in iOS and Skyfire. Doesn't skyfire only try to convert/render Flash Videos and does not do true Flash?

The app flash video for wp7 allows for some flash videos. I've watched movies and shows like The immortals, jersey shore and the walking dead, but no real browser support though.

I was reffering to flash videos yes. Flash for anything else is useless anyway. The only other use for it is if flash games are made specifically for mobile phones, but in that case you're better of make a native game anyway.

Flash games allow you to capture all audiences without having to extensively program for each indivual platform. And I am not sure what you mean by specifically for mobile phones.

In this case yes thats possible. We have delivered a proof of concept with metro browser. It plays flash video fine, however the problem is finding the direct links to the flv files for which there is no standard way and all comes down to hacking and reverse engineering the security mechanisms of sites like megavideo/putlocker/novamov a.o.
So yes playing flash on Windows Phone is certainly possible and works extremely well. The problem is obtaining and detecting the flv's itself (which are often hidden).
We really would like to find a more generic and universal solution but at the moment there is none. We would need massive servers like skyfire to prerender every webpage and then capture any flv file. Which is not really possible to accomplish for hobby developers.
To play flash video - as mentioned above, yeah it doable, but its not an exact science yet. Running flash based websites, also runs ActionScript and possibly other scripts from the browser which I'm guessing is probably the real conundrum here. Just try running any kind of flash site from a browser on your PC with all plug-ins disabled, and your security settings popped to the maximum. It won't happen there either.
