[Q] How to stream flash videos on Windows Mobile - General Questions and Answers

Hi everyone,
I have a problem. I have a Palm Treo Pro 850w phone, which is quite old. It runs with Windows Mobile Professional 6.1.0. The problem that I have is that I can't find any web browser that can fully support adobe flash.
I have Opera Mobile 10 which has a flash plug-in called flash lite. It works partially and is only able to play Youtube videos. I have tried other programs such Skyfire 1.5, Bolt 1.5, Mach 5, but none of which work. I read online that Adobe has actually stopped producing adobe flash programs for smart phones.
I would like to know if there any ways that I can actually stream flash files online without using adobe flash. I also read that smartphones are now moving towards using HTML5. How does this work?
Please help.
Thanks.

Flash 8 or 9 for Windows Mobile???

Anyone know how to watch AOL videos on Windows Mobile? They don't play on the Core Player with the standard codecs for YouTube, nor do they work on VTap. AOL says their videos are played in the Flash 9 format. Installed Flash Player 7 for Pocket PC from the Adobe site, but that doesn't work on AOL--I still get a message saying Flash 8 is required for full-length videos. Is anything available for PocketPCs that will work?
I've searched and found that there's something called Flash Lite 3.0 coming earlier next year, but 2.0 is supposedly based on Flash Player 7 so I haven't bothered to try that yet.
BTW, I was very surprised and pleased to find out that AOL Videos have all the episodes of some great classics, like Bullwinkle, Mr. Peabody and Sherman, etc. They play fine on my laptop.

Thanks in Advance!

HTC HD2 watching Skysports player

Hi,
I got this phone to watch skysports on the bigger screen, currently sky have a mobile app but only for Iphone.
I have tried watching it via the browser but the opera does not support flash or silverlight, IE for windows mobile supports flash but not silverlight.
So I downloaded and installed skyfire that supports flash and silverlight, but still does not work because it does not support application storage.
So anyone have any ideas how I could watch it, or know a browser with this support?
HTC HD2 on O2 in the UK
Cheers
No one can help or suggest anything?
Not on O2. Only way to get it is the iPhone app.
All other networks provide it via 3G, but O2 have an iPhone contract to fulfil

Because both are Flash 7 apps... New games are made in Flash 10.something, and if you really wanted Flash, you should have bought Android or iPhone instead...
Or you could move to America and use Skyfire

[Q] Internet Explorer Mobile Problem

Dear all,
I have an HTC HD2 (a.k.a. HTC Leo), running Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional, and it may have a problem.
I tried to install Flash Player on my mobile device in order to watch online videos in Internet Explorer Mobile. I found, however, that this only stopped the one website that I could play videos in, YouTube, from playing. I uninstalled the player and found that I still could not play even YouTube videos.
What can I do? As I understand it, a mobile browser needs to include Flash in order to play online videos. I have heard conflicting accounts as to whether Internet Explorer Mobile is or is not a Flash browser. I only knew of the one site that I could play videos on and now I cannot even use that one. Any suggestions would really be appreciated.
Many thanks,
Karim434
P.S. My reason for doing this is that the famous substitute for the absence of a flash browser on Windows phones, Skyfire, has recently decided to abandon Windows Mobile users. If anyone knows of any decent alternatives then that would be good too. Thanks!

[Q] Help with Internet browsers for Windows Mobile 6.5

Can anyone help me with finding a suitable Internet browser for my HTC HD2 running Windows Mobile 6.5?
The chief consideration is flash support. The device comes with Opera Mobile and Windows Mobile Internet Explorer, both of which can play some online video content but not nearly all.
I used to use Skyfire for viewing online video content and then, when they stopped supporting Windows Mobile, moved to uZard. This, like Skyfire before it, was brilliant but has now stopped working. I don't know why; I contacted the company and posted details of the problem on this forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377265) but I have had no replies.
So I am trying (and so far failing) to find another mobile browser that can be used on Windows Mobile 6x devices and can view, at least, the majority of online video content.
Any ideas, anyone?
