[Q] Anyone Else Having Trouble With Flash Video? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm finding that some flash videos don't play properly for me.
I'm on stock 2.3.3 with the latest version of Flash Player installed.
Most flash videos work fine but the main issue I'm finding is with http://www.footytube.com
I like to check my football highlights
When I click on a match it just shows a black box as if it's loading but no play button appears at the bottom as it should, the black box just remains.
I had no problem playing this on my Motorola Atrix so I know the videos are supported.
Any insight or suggestions would be appreciated!
Cheers.

Can someone try out the site and see if they have the same issue please?

I just pulled up a few of the goals of the week and they played fine.

I don't know what's up with this then, I'm still just getting a black box and nothing will play. Occasionally the adverts pop up but still no actual content plays.
Anyone using different settings or a different browser to get this to work? I just updated to flash 10.3 and all.

I think if it was possible to repackage it someone would have already done it. I have no exerience with hex editing and I was able to do it. Just use this hex editor http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/delphi/freeware/xvi32/xvi32.htm
Use root explorer to pull out the file libflashplayer.so and open it up with the hex editor and use the find to search for text string AND and change it to WIN. Then copy it back over to the original file location. If you need more help send me a pm.

This works just fine on my G-Tablet, running VEGAn-Tab Build, BETA 5.1.1. Thanks for posting.
In addition to ksc6000s post... find the "and" which comes before the flash version number. Then replace and with win and the android version number with the windows version number, this way you don't get an update to the latest flash dialogue. Some people put nines for numbers and have reported success. Or download the pre edited version floating around this post. Then make sure your browser settings are allowing plug ins and set to desktop. hope that gives some more detail also if you see loading for a while be patient it takes a bit to load in my experiences.
Works fine in portrait mode. A little jerky with lag in full screen landscape mode with 480 resolution. Dolpin set to Desktop mode. REMEMER TO UNINSTALL Flash 10.1 before installing 10.2 with Hulu fix.
Stock 3318 pack with 3.14 enhancement pack.
Installed. Seems slower than 10.1. But on the bright side, hulu hack works. It never did on 10.1

I agree about the slowness, but Hulu with 10.1 didn't work on Vegan 7. This one does. Now if we could only get general video support on Vegan 7...
Ill have to try this I've tried a few times to get hulu and no fix ever seemed to work.
Hulu works for me. Even tethered to my phone. May pause when tethered but only initially. No problems on home wifi. Fullscreen isn't quite fullscreen but if you choose the pop-out it fills the screen almost prefect. The on screen controls for the player are a bit difficult to use, but I can use them. The Hulu app works really well in portrait mode as a way to watch shows quickly. The about:debug part of the hack is critical.
i get no sound out of my flash videos, im on vegan 7. ive tried hulu and youtube, videos play fine but no sound
This worked on samsung galaxy tab Verizon with Klean v3. The trick is to enable flash plugin all the time in dolphin. I had mine set to on demand and when i changed it hulu worked. I also recommend choosing the pop out player when watching a movie. After you give it some time to load it runs really smooth

I'm on Vegan 7 and works fine for me other than working the controls is a pain (was like that before, not a 7 issue). Other flash players don't have that problem.

Does anyone else have problems with choppy video in Dolphin using Hulu? Is there a trick to get it to play smoother? Other videos play fine outside of the browser. I am running TnT Lite 4.4.0
No Sound...
I am also experiencing no sound irrespective of the source through the speakers. I can get sound through the headphones via music player though.
Update: I now have sound through the speakers but nothing from hulu....

video playing completely stops working after several hours... please help

Hey all, any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I much enjoy watching movies on the DC's beautiful amoled display...
HERE'S THE PROBLEM: Upon booting my phone, all videos run fine (mp4, flv, youtube, facebook, etc.). However, after several hours and upon going to play a video, it either doesn't load on site or, when opened in video player, moboplayer, mplayer, vplayer, etc, i get the "sorry this video cannot be played" message. Upon rebooting, my videos work again... for a time
Is anyone else experiencing this issue or have any possible idea what's causing it/how to fix it? thanks in advance
fyi my phone is running imnuts' ed2 debloated v4 kernel, rooted of course

I have had the music player and pandora not function untill after reboot. The music player would say that MP3 is not supported, lol. Also on imnuts voodoo kernel.
I'm having the same problem...after a while nothing is recognized on the media player and you tube videos play with no video, just a black screen...reboot fixes it...

Anyone tried updating Flash to see if it makes a difference?
I'm stock ed2 and have the same issue. Only a reboot fixes it for me.
I wonder if it's some kind of memory leak. Be interesting to look at when you start having the issue.

how do you do that? I mean, I've looked up flash updates, but I think it's built into the operating system? i can't find any. *I apologize if these are noob statements but I really am at a loss. And would flash alone account for ALL my videos not working, even ones that aren't flv files?

Stock ED2....same issue...reboot is only fix...gonna post to verizon support so maybe an update will fix.
It seems my audio issues only surface when I plug the headphone jack in b4 playing music, I get a "does not support this format message". When I start the music and then plug in, no problems.
Bumping this thread to see if anyone found a solution or knows what causes this.

I did hear someone say that installing CWM, PBJ lagfix kernel, and Gummy CHARGED ROM helped with freezing videos they would get, but I don't know what aspect of that helped.
Same issue here, on both ED2 and EE4. All apps that require the media player service, like YouTube, HBOgo, DoggCatcher, etc will NOT play until you reboot. Other apps that do not use the internal playback player like Poweramp continue to work. Only remedy is a reboot. VERY annoying.
I have submitted this issue to Samsung and I am waiting to see what they have to say. If EVERYONE else who has this issue and is reading this can do the same, it would be greatly appreciated.
I made this quick video summarizing the issues we are seeing here. If you can, please distribute it to people and maybe we can gain some attention. This is driving me nuts!

Similar Problem
Mine doesn't play videos from other sources no matter what. Lame because when I went over to GummyCharged, the same videos work fine.

MLB At Bat video help?

I edited the build.prop to match the Evo 4G. The video option appeared and it seems to work, except I don't get video. I get the audio from the video stream along with a blank black screen.
I'm running Deck's 1.2, which is basically a CM7 variant.
Does anyone have any ideas about what the problem might be? I've uninstalled and reinstalled Flash.

I only get audio and no video using flash 10.3 but when I uninstall and install 10.2 my videos play fine. Try that its not hard to find the .apk but if you can't I will send it to you.

Interesting. Thanks. I'll try that out.
Fixed the video but now I get no audio.
The video keeps pausing and buffering, even on a fast WiFi connection though. Hm.
I tried a couple of different versions. One gave me choppy video but no audio, and another gave me nothing at all. Can you upload/email your version to me? I'd appreciate it a great deal.

Ok I sent it to you.
What did you have to edit in the build prop to get video?

YouTube problems

I've been having problems playing YouTube videos on my tablet.
Sometimes it will play with out a catch but then I run into the continuous force closes while trying to load the video up.
Is there a fix or anything I can do?
My tablet is not rooted.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
Force close when trying to play any video here, I'm assuming it's a problem on Google's end.
I have been facing this same problem since today.. I was using the youtube app extensively yesterday without any issues. Hopefully they resolve it soon.

I have same issue. Will not play videos that worked fine yesterday. Apparently not a TF issue but a google /you tube issue.
I have the problem with youtube on my asus tf101.
I have the same problem with youtube. I live in the far east of Russia. Yesterday, when trying to play videos on youtube from the asus tf101, I got an error message playback. And today I am forced to dropped the tablet in the factory settings, but nothing has changed and now the application is forced to close when you try to view the video from youtube. Already thinking ins custom rom.
Same problem here. Maybe theyre preparing for ICS? *fingers crossed*
I have the same problem. I didn't know what it was because it started exactly following my changing my YouTube setting to always start HD videos. I thought I broke something on my transformer (I just rooted it last night). It's good to know others are having the same problem.
Mine is down too. It is also not showing in the market either. Anyone checked to see if it is still on their phone?

Can't Reinstall
Well, crap. I uninstalled my YouTube App via Titanium Backup, and now I can't reinstall it. I've tried both the .apk, and via Titanium (with each option in Titanium).
I'm rooted and a pro-user with Titanium. Any ideas on how I can get it back on? Can I flash YouTube with CWM?
