I'm new to this whole experience and so far have had a great ride. The support has been great, all of the time and effort put into creating and making available the fixes and mods is fantastic.
I first got VeganTab to work then installed the flash fix so that I can watch movies on Hulu. With a few hiccups it worked, sort of. Video plays from Hulu and any other flash-enabled site, but no sound. The sound is on and working, I just can't get anything to play from the browser. I own that I am new, but it is not a hardware/system issue. It may be a browser issue, I haven't seen any sound settings in the browser config. I've used Dolphin HD Browser and the stock one with the same results. I've tried viewing videos on youtube, hulu, and speednet. The youtube app plays video with sound correctly.

I have been able to get both ORB and TVeristy to stream videos, music, pictures to my GTablet with very very good results. both have the strong points (Orb has a cleaner interface, but TVeristy has streams faster.
The secret is to setup each to use FLASH as the Stream encoder. This means you must install the FLASH APK (Search this site you will find links)
In TVeristy, you do this with

You need to set the your skin to HOME THEATER. And your Streaming to FLASH.
No special Video player or other hacks needed. Should work on all MODS and well as STOCK.
In Cyanogen (Maybe in other mods), you have to click the Down Arrow the first time to Start-up FLASH.
The video quality is amazing even when tethered using my phone.
How is your luck with streaming ac3 encoded audio streams with video on tversity? I keep coming up with video and no sound. What codec pack are you using? What options did you pass to ffdshow? Tyia.

I did not do any special configuration or change any FFSHOW settings. The only thing I cannot stream is ripped RAW DVD files.
Im using tversity on my windows home server and was running into the no sound issue with flash. I went to tversity's site and saw that for tversity to stream sound using the flashlib, the streaming computer needs to have a soundbcard installed.
I would be hard pressed to find a home computer that does not have a sound card. But good to know. My motherboard (HP) has an integrated sound card and appears to work properly. Also, remember that with the CyanogenMod, you need to use the Headphone trick or the Headphone widget to get sound working after a re-boot.
Does any one know of how to have the browsers auto-Start the Flash player?
I use Dolphin HD and when you set it up set flash to Always by default its (on demand) if you already set it up and need to change it, its in the options menu of the browser.
I have integrated sound on my computer serving tversity. What I think the problem stems from is that it is trying to pass the Facebook audio along without reencoding it. I've been trying everything I can come up with for the week trying to get around the sound issue with no luck. What codec pack are you using?

Are you using the ORBLIVE app, or just using the web page?
Just the web Page. By setting it to HOME THEATER, it looks awesome. Give it a try
What do you mean "Home theater"?
I have been using the website to view.... my problem with the website is that it does not cache very well, and I get alot of pauses. AND... when it lags enough to lose the video, there is no skipping ahead, so you have to start from the beginning again. The App caches better and it easily skips ahead.
OK, I am really enjoying TnT Lite 4.2 as my first Rom mod. However, I am puzzled about why YouTube videos play well in the "stock" browser (called Web), but look and play terrible in Dolphin. Both browsers go to the same link, but the Dolphin version is highly pixelated or sometimes doesn't play at all (they plain won't play in Skyfire). It's not TnT as I had this same problem before modding the Gtab. I am using Flash player 10.1. Whaddya think?
Thanks

So my last cell phone was the HTC shadow from Tmobile. It was windows based and could do everything this phone can albeit with older hardware tech, yet I could play a youtube video or some streaming audio from a website then go back to the browser and start surfing the web and reading other sites, while the audio played in the background.
The G2x is my first android device and not only does the battery life suck, but now I find that I can't even multitask! I've searched if the G2x or any android device could stream music/audio and browse at the same time and found no adequate answer. The only one that gave me hope was to hold down the home key and you'd get the last 6 apps you've used, but this still it does not work, and the music/audio cuts off the moment I want to browse in another window.
Is there anyway to listen to an audio on one window, open another and surf the net, while the audio is still playing in the other window?
I don't know exactly which applications you're using, but this works fine for me with Pandora -- keeps right on playing while I browse.
I think he is trying to browse and use sound from a youtube video at the same time. I have never needed to do this. If you get an app like Pandora and Grooveshark you can stream music and do whatever you want at the same time.
Sounds like he is trying to stream audio from a website via the web browser. the web browser needs to be on screen with the screen on and unlocked for sound to stream.
however if you use an app like pandora or soundcloud you can let it run in the background
Yeah, I tried playing a Flash-based stream in the browser; the OP is right, as soon as I switched to a different window within the browser or switched to a different app, Flash stopped streaming. Same thing with YouTube. I don't know why. The hardware and OS are certainly capable of it, as shown by Pandora, etc.
Try SkyFire.
Back to the days I was using Nexus One 2.2. I was only able to play BBC iplayer with Flash background was SkyFire. When you get video prompt when you're about to play flash-based player, let SkyFire runs on its own way. In which you can play it in the background.

I've. Tried it on dolphin, skyfire, stock and other free browers and each time I play a video on YouTube or an audio mp3 stream from a particular site then try and open another window to browse the audio cuts of. Only when I make that window active will the audio video begin to stream again. This feature should be standard, since all windows mobile smart phones can do this, no problem.
Right now, if I go to a site that plays videos in flash, like Break.com for example, it will play the video on the website as if it was a desktop. and there is almost no way for me to control it because the buttons are too small (pause/play, skip, etc). In iPhone that would pop out and be played with quicktime player or whatever that native thing is. anyway to do this on this phone?
I don't believe you can do this with embedded flash videos. And just for comparisons, neither could the iPhone (with flash videos, that is).
Yeah, iPhone couldn't play flash videos at all. Only I think HTML 5 videos.
I did figure something out last night though. In dolphin browser I set user agent to iPhone. I was able to get videos that iPhone would "pop out" to also "pop out" and play with MX Player. So that was pretty cool
I also found that if I hit the fullscreen button while watching actual flash videos, it seems Dolphin has a sort of built in tool for that and it actually shows full sized buttons for pause and stuff. Though it would be cool if any/all videos popped out to play on MX Player.
might as well change the thread title to "How can I watch porn vids"
^ lol. Upnplay + Dice Player works great. Another of my favorite players is Stick It. Allows a floating player window that you can move/resize.
So I have a custom debloated ROM running, and I am not sure if its the stuff I deleted, or a general android issue, but when viewing a webpage that hosts an embedded YouTube video, there are no video controls visible.
I can still watch the video, and click on it to pause it, but there is no way for me to seek forward or backward.
Can someone confirm they have video controls on their stock browser? Also, if I go to the YouTube site and watch a movie there, I have no problems viewing and using the controls.
Never mind. Idk what I did but they work just fine now ?
