Hi Guys please give me some help with this, I have flashed my phone to CM 7 .1.0.4 all is well but media is an issue, Mainly Iplayer, on stock it worked fine no issues, but now the iplayer runs very jerkly and at 400kbs it does not run at all only runs at 500kbs and above (well tries to).
Ive tried clearing cache and tried both the app and through opera, its just unplayably slow !!!
Whats happened to cause this, I am having a similiar problem on my LG 3d optimus, once flashed both itv player doesnt run at all, green screen etc.
Can someone put me out of my misery of this, I love wtaching the iplayer whilst working and its just not worth the bother !!
Are their any roms that work with Iplayer or fixes as I cant be the only one surely.

try using the iplayer on the web, the app for both itv and bbc are rubbish.
Thanks for the reply, tired in opera dolphin and std browser all have broken framerate, tried changing virtual memory heap and scripts in booting to improve performance nothing seems to work ! the bbc iplayer app runs at the same speed as the browsers and its the same with the wifes milestone with CM 7 version, worked fine on stock and my droid 3 works ok on stcok so its not a wifi issue i dont think.
thanks
What ROM and what speed? You tried it on stock browser. The iplayer app has 3 stars because its bad. The web can be out of time a bit though.
Try FroyoMOD. Close to stock as its 2.2

Try using the latest cm nightly.
it's the rom.... i also had the issue and i still do even with EB 2.3.5 and as well as the cm7 stabled Gb version.... not only with the youtube app but on some of the websites had flash issues where videos were just green lines. so i switched back to EB 2.3.3 stock Gb version. Devs are working as to finding out the problem but still no luck.
I tried the latest nightly 174 and loaded videos instantly this morning.
Will keep trying the Nightly ROMs. Will report back if I encounter the issue again.
Prefer the Youtube app, just faster.
Youtube and G2X usb mount
I am having these two issues first I noticed that phone is no more recognized by windows as usb and now this youtube issue of CM stable 7.1 , I was really liking this CM. If someone is there reading these and can help please help.
thanks
glad to know its not just me and more about the problem
i really hope this gets fixed soon but was it ever stated as an issue before so others could become more aware and hopefully put it in more demand for a fix or something?
Youtube Slow issue found
What I did I uninstalled both adobe flash player and youtube app and using dolphin web browser for youtube. I tried all those videos again through dolphin and got the instant response on my almost 2mega Byte connection. So, I guess I have to live without youtube app.

Well I recently switched from LG Stock Rom to CM7.1 stable on my P990, and have the same issue. I'm glad that its not just me having slow loading of YouTube videos on the phone. Thanks for sharing the information that the nightly build of CM might help solve the issue. How many others have been successful with that build?
I can confirm that recent nightly builds are no longer causing slow loading of videos in YouTube app. I installed CM7.1 #204
I'm happy
Hello,
I just updated my tf101 to ics (ota official). On Honeycomb I think the YouTube app was the app I used to most, it could play HD content at full fps and there were no problems. Fast forward to ICS where every video either skips or lags when a lot of things are moving around on the screen. This has made the youtube app unusable.
When I still had CWM i was also using ICS roms, but they had the same problem, so, I went back to honeycomb and it worked fine again. For some reason I thought the custom roms were to blame so I tried the official ota.
So to my question, is anyone else having these problems? And if so did you solve it? Also, is there an alternative to the youtube app? (I have tried the web version but it's waaay slower than the app at playing video).
Thanks!
No problems here. You could try to goto Manage Apps and clear the cache for YouTube...and then if that doesn't work also clear the data. That would be the first step in trouble shooting.
for my case, is the 720p mkv files lagging, for youtube i notice some stuttering , not anything that obvious though. BTW many have reported video performance dropped dramatically on the ICS
So there is no way to fix this? I tried to download a trailer and it lags as well. So it is not just the youtube app. Shouldn't the tf101 handle videos pretty good?
I tried everything and finally...
I uninstalled adobe flash player, and it stopped skipping around. Wondering if there is a system conflict on this tablet as there is sometimes w/ desktop versions of google and the conflicts between shockwave and flash player... oh well, it worked. Super frustrating.
Is it just me or has the sound/picture sync been lost from BBC iplayer - running Flash on Stock Browser in JB?

I was finding that even on ICS. Seemed to have been anything using Flash that did it.
Using TVCatchup on JB I get a just perceptible sync error, but far better than Flash.
Iplayer definitely had lip sync issues on ICS as well.
Ah, I've only used the tf700 on JB; there were no sync issues on ics with the tf201.
I just tried it out. I'm finding it's off about half a second. I remember it being a bit more off on ICS.
On side note, apparently the BBC updated things and now need the BBC Media Player. I just don't get why the BBC iPlayer just launches the browser to the iPlayer website. At least on the inifinity. I haven't tried on the phone for a while, but it didn't do that on the Evo 4G.
Just checked on my old tf201 now running Jb and there are no iplayer lip-sync issues. A real bummer that the infinity is worse. Maybe it's the HD screen?
could be. Maybe flash player too. Flash Player works on the infinity, but it's really quirky. A lot times when I go to full screen, it gives sound, but no audio. I get that on MotoGP and a few other sites. WatchESPN seems to work ok, which uses it as well.

Using Maxthon browser or several ip camera players and nothing works. Any help greatly appreciated.
Do you have flash installed? It kinda works for me, I see the babies but then it crashes right away. I tried firefox and the default browser, they both do the same... so I googled a bit and it seems that Google made it way worse with 4.2.2 for flash support.
http://forums.androidcentral.com/go...deliberately-wrecked-flash-support-4-2-a.html
You can get flash from the adobe page, in the archived section. What Android version is Rev 3.6?
Thank you very much for the info. It almost plays for me also. I believe the ROM is ICS. After many hours of searching I believe the problem is the Shock Wave player they use. I can't find any flavor of Android that can view Shock Wave .asp streams.
A friend of mine said that Dolphin browser had shockwave support built-in, could be worth a shot.

Could not get that to work but Puffin Free browser does, thanks!
OK so I download every adobe flash version all the way to ices and still no luck. My 4.3 version worked on my old phone but with my nexus 5 no luck I even switch in between browsers fire fox boat dolphin u name it! Still flash will not work have anybody else tried this? Or experienced this ?
Flash hasn't been supported on android since ics. You might be able be able to manually install it.
Nope sideloading it doesn't work either. Looks like this is the end of flash

using kitkat? ive tried every browser with .81 and it either crashes or doesn't detect flash. please share more about how you got it to work, thanks
I thought it was just because I was using ART but I guess we'll have to wait for a new version that works with 4.4
Using Boat Browser w. Adobe Flash Player (sideloaded) on Nexu 7 running 4.3.1 on-demand and it is great, no crashes or whatsoever.
Not with N5, however and Boat Browser is what I count on to watch streaming video over fiber @ home.
Probably need updating from the browser folks to make them get along with each other.
No go on my N5 with Firefox and Flash ver .81, tried playing videos from several sites and it didn't work

Okay, I know I am not crazy. Yesterday I swear I quickly watched a clip of a Prime video on Amazon on the N5 via Firefox Beta with the .81 flash apk. However, now now the Firefox Beta crashes as soon as it opens. I thought I'd try regular FF, which does open, but it says flash is not installed. The only devices I have in front of me are the N5 & the N7 & I am pretty certain I didn't confuse my forums/device yesterday, but I'll be damned if it doesn't work now, at least in the stable FF app. Of course, I guess it is possible, between a new device & the hospital & big UT Austin project we are working on. Damn it, maybe it's not such a good thing to order a new device while designing mechanical systems for critical applications.

thanks for the reply. like someone said earlier today, hopefully the browser devs figure it out soon. I used to use boat browser or dolphin basically every day to stream sports through websites like vipbox or firstrowsports. I found out that photon browser works but its a pain to deal with and not the smoothest since it u watch flash through a browser on their server. having smooth flash on boat browser or dolphin was one of the biggest reasons i switched from the iphone to android devices!
Flash on Firefox isn't working for me either.
I didn't install Flash Player but Flash animations seem to work with Puffin Browser.
Flash on Nexus 5
I've tried multiple versions of Flash and multiple browsers (including Firefox, Firefox Beta [which force closed], Boat, Dolphin, Chrome and Opera). None of them work on my Nexus 5 at the current time.
While Puffin works that doesn't really count because it's using a hosted version of Flash running through a proxy. Apart from anything else that meant I couldn't use it to access BBC iPlayer (which I have the app for, but was using as a prominent Flash site to test whether it was working).
I would much rather locally execute Flash, personally, so I'm not sure Puffin really counts as a solution.
Boat Browser released an update that's KitKat or 4.4 friendly, auto updated on mine and it also fixed the FC issue. My favorite streaming website is accessible again but I still have some issues playing in full screen mode.
Haven't got around to root it yet to restore mobile Adobe Flash's latest *.apk
I'm not having any luck with my nexus 5 either. If anyone finds a fix for adobe flash, please post. Trying to get flash working was one of the first things I tried on this phone and am jonesing to get it working.

Flash still does NOT work with Firefox or Firefox beta, kitkat on Nexus 7.
I need firefox because of their FVD addon.
This thread also confirms that no one can get flash player to work on Nexus 5:

flash was working fine in Firefox, Photon, and Maxthon on nexus 4 and 4.3.
doesn't work on any of them today after updating to 4.4
hoping browser developers will be able to figure it out since they were able to before.
puffin works great for most but not all sites.
and It's also the only one that allows you to stream a tv channel in one tab while browsing in another.
on all the others the stream stops unless the tab it's in is on top.
photon also has server based flash but you got to pay an annual subscription with them for that.
(correction: free with ads. subscription to get rid of ads. and some sites that don't work on puffin
work on photon. It also works with the streaming tab in the background)
why would you want a streaming window in the background? so you can listen to
various news streams playing in the background tab, or youtube, while browsing in the foreground tab.
android is useless to me without flash in one way or another.
No idea why if it can be included in chrome os it can't be included in chrome on android since
newer android phones are running more powerful processors than most chromebooks.

Rolled back to 4.3 and blocked OTA on my Nexus until (hopefully!) someone finds a workround
