Hi,
Is there any way to hack WebM support into the Android 2.2 browser or is that just impossible? I just find it really annoying and limiting that if say I'd want to check a video on youtube/vimeo/whatever I need an app for that.
My current phone (zte blade) does not support flash player nor do I want to install it, but 2.3 wich does have WebM support is a bit unstable unfortunatly.
Any suggestions?

Hi all.
I purchased this device mostly to be used as a companion for when I stream to Justin.TV. This website uses both flash video and java at the same time. I want to monitor my video stream and the chat while I play. I know I could of got a netbook for this, but I would like the tablet for doing other things.
Some streams with lower quality work good for me, but my stream does not play. The stream will freeze, but I am able to hear the audio. My stream is in flash and is 720p, 3000kbps, H.264.
I tried some other 720p flash video and received the message "Video Not Optimized For Mobile Device". (Uh, yeah, that's why I bought a tablet and not a phone). Obviously this is because of the Android OS and not the hardware?
So I am half-happy because I can see the chat, but not the video. Is there anything I can do to help this? I am running TnT 2.2.0 with the flash player linked to in the thread.
If this can't be fixed for now, does anyone think it will be resolved in the future? Perhaps a better Flash apk that supports the Tegra better? Or would I be better with the new Viewsonic Viewpad?
Thanks
A lot of this is bleeding edge. We are using a phone OS that has been modded for tablets and not supported by Google (yet). And, the Tegra itself is relatively new and has had issues because of it.
In six months, I expect that a lot of these issues with be old news. But for now, it's a problem.
Which browser are using? Have you tried Dolphin HD and changed the User Agent to desktop?
For my stream I get the same results with the default browser and Dolphin HD, but for some reason with Dolphin HD I am forced to the mobile site every time. Even with user agent set to Desktop. So I can't try the HD flash video with Dolphin.
There is no mobile version of my stream.
Based on roebeet's post, I guess i'll stick it out and hope it gets better. I am already somewhat happy because I can run Ventrilo and see the chat at the same time. That's already more than my iPad can do.
Now if I can just get the USB keyboard working.
Thanks for the replies.
Hello everyone,
new to the forum but not new to the world of android, I encounter a little trouble on my tab galaxy.
Simply put: when I want to play video on youtube or other flash site (using a user
agent desktop), playback of the videos is horribly slow jerky in window or full screen ...
My question is there a playerflash (APK) optimized for the processor tab, or is related to the version of
rom?
I have used on several browser, and some version of flash available.
This happens where you are?
Thank you for your help because this is one reason for choosing this tablet vs iPad would be a shame more
on a toshiba with the rom dexter 1.1 was pretty fluid.
I insist to use the site a flash video is not mobile version
I'm considering dropping my iPhone and moving over to the Infuse. That large screen is calling to me.
I have a Nook Color that I have rooted and installed Gingerbread on (thanks to this site) and I really like it. My first question is about Flash and Hulu.com. On my Nook I was able to install a cracked version of Flash that allows me to go directly to Hulu.com and play the videos there in browser. Is that possible on the Infuse?
And my other question was is this phone capable of 1080p playback. My old 3Gs just can't handle it and the Nook will chug along but playback is very slow. I have several videos that are 1080p that I would like to play without having to convert them all first. I saw another thread that the device could play them but not after it had been rooted. Which I guess I'll have to do if I want to play Hulu files.
Thank you.

Yes it has some ability to play 1080p. Actually more than some Tegra2 dual core devices.
So despite the year old processor it is still able to compete. And Samsung has been putting in multiple codec support and support for mkv sinse the original galaxy s 2 years ago. Multimedia is their area of specialty on phones. Not every 1080 p file will play but you may be able to transcode them to a lower class or bitrate or change the audio encoding which I find is most often the problem on files that don't play.
Also the browser while not the smoothest has a user agent setting accessable in the address bar by typing " about:useragent" just replace the lib for the flashplayer with one that is hex edited to look like the windows flash player and set useragent to desktop ( you can even make your own if you have issues) and clear your cookies and enjoy.
Oh. I thought Hulu had plugged that loop hole/browser trick. At least it didn't work on my Nook.

I thought so too but there are still people with hulu threads. I think when new versions of flash come out they need to work to identify the illegal users again. Also you need to make surecookies are cleared. And it may have something to do with the device as well. They may have a block list but some new devices may sneak through provided the flash player look right but I'm not sure what their servers can actually see.
Guess that puts me in a wait and see category. I was kinda hoping I could just install something like the CM7 mod and then a cracked version of flash like I did on my Nook. That works perfectly.
Thank you for the advice.
You should know that 1080p video playback only works on official AT&T or Froyo-based Infuse ROM's. The current Gingerbread ROM's don't have 1080p support (although the leaked KI3/4 supposedly do, they're not custom ROM's and may have other issues). Also, non-Samsung ROM's like CM7 won't have any of Samsung's hardware-accelerated media codecs (ie. MKV). Even so, playback is going to be affected by bitrate: if the bitrate of a file is too high, you'll either have problems seeking or it won't play at all. If the audio track is an unsupported format (ie. FLAC in an MKV container), you can use MX Video Player and set it to use S/W audio decoding.
As for Hulu, you should be able to get by with hex editing the version in your Flash libraries to the latest Windows/Chrome Flash version, and then setting your useragent in your phone's browser. I haven't tried this recently, but it was still working on my Captivate a month ago.
Well that's cool. If I can get Hulu to work without rooting then I'll be happy. I'll probably leave it stock then so I get the most out of video playback. Thank you very much for te help.

You'll need to root if you want to modify the Flash libraries within the system Flash apk. Otherwise, you'll have to reapply the modified Flash library every time you reboot the phone.
so here it is.
so my infuse had its factory froyo os on it and i decided to upgrade.
so i wanted to upgrade to gingerbread I997UCKI4-Homebinary.tar
so i did with odin, and soon relised it was crashing with mail, calls, restarts, shocking.
everytime someone calls it crashs and looses signal.
then i found gingerbread I997UCKJ1-Homebinary.tar
installed it today and it runs heaps heaps better, stable, no crashing except with email - funny though cause i've never used the email app.
however i also relised something major bad.
all my mp4 1080i files won't play in video player, it says "sorry this video cannot be played".
now if it was a 576 clip it will play, but i had clear 1080i music videos which i useto hookup via hdmi output and watch them on my plasma back with froyo.
so i went into another program mx video player which supports switching between modes of s/w playback or h/w playback. and it states that the h/w decoder is no longer available.
so im on a mission to get my hardware decoder funtioning again.
now i found that some o/s have different decoders so i figured if i can replace the decoder with the proper infuse froyo decoder it should work.
but i can't locate a froyo infuse decoder, i found others on the net namly libOmxVdec.so for the nexus h/w restriction.
so does anyone have any idea on what im talking about., im new to the android galaxy world and just trying to figure this all out.
i also tried to gain access to my device via superoneclick, but i don't think its supported..
Run a custom rom or muiu

I use my Tab 7.0 plus mainly for video streaming to my large screen TVs. I even canceled my sattelite TV it worked so well in Gingerbread or 3.2. I had CNN in one click, Animal Planet, PBS, etc. I upgraded to ICS 4.0.4 through kies and the tablet took the upgrade with no errors. My unit is WiFi only 6210, US.
Now all my video streaming sites don't work. I get either a blank screen or a funny small blue box where the video should stream. I set up a chat with Samsung Support and they said that there is no Adobe Flash player for Android 4.0, so it's not their fault. I asked if I could downgrade back to 3.2 gingerbread and they said there was no way. As far as I'm concerned, this thing is a brick for me now.
Please! Does anyone know a way to use Adobe Flash on 4.0 or guide me on how to revert back to my old operating system (gingerbread 3.2) so I can continue to stream television sites? I'm not very computer literate and I'm very old.
Thanks for any help or advice.

You can still install Flash on it and it works fine... download this file to your tab and install it - http://www.sendspace.com/file/d43u2p
FYI, 3.2 is Honeycomb, not Gingerbread.

That did the trick. I already had Flash player 11.1 downloaded, but I didn't have it installed on Dolphin Browser after the upgrade. A little tinkering and I got it installed and working just fine. Thank you so much. I'm back in business.
God! I love this site. If I understood half of what you're all talking about, I'd love it even more.
