I am running ICS stock and have tried to watch free Amazon Prime movies on my xoom but it tells me that I must install Adobe flash. It is already installed but I unistalled and reinstalled flash but it still would not work.
I am trying to watch it on the Chrome beta. Has anyone got Prime to work on any browser?
Chrome doesn't support Flash yet on Android, or Flash doesn't support Chrome.
I use Amazon Prime with the stock browser. The quality is lower with ICS and the video is somewhat choppy. There are threads which discuss the reason.

First of all this board is great! Thank you!!!
I bought two gtablets last week and already modded one with TNTlite 4.4, and the other one still with stock ROM. I was going to give one to my mom.
After I play the same video and compare side by side, I noticed the significant difference in resolutions. Tablet with stock ROM has much better resolution than modded TNT4.4. Did I mess it up when I was modding?
Browser
I did some more testing and it appears to be the issue with browser. I played the same video HD trailer of Captain America on browser youtube vs Youtube App. There is a night and day differences in two.
Youtube App - no pixelation.
Browswer Youtube - tons of pixlations.
Any advices or suggestions?
Any advice before I change my ROM from TNTlite to VEGAN? That pixelation on flash video on browser is driving me nut.
Again, it's no issue with youtube native app, and it's only happening in browser.
Try changing your browser settings to PC instead of android. Might help.

It's already desktop mode if that is what you mean. I even have flash player 10.2.
The Flash 10.3 Update that I just downloaded seems to make HQ videos run better in YouTube. Not perfect, but much better than the jerky starts and stops I got before. Anyone else notice this?
Just upgraded Asus update and the 10.3 flash... No better at all here on youtube, still have to watch normal mode... Really disappointed in this when got the pad 2 weeks ago played them fine... So what gives?
Update. Pad as in transformer not ipad2 ..i got the asus 2 weeks ago..

The iPad2 can't play flash video so why are you comparing the iPad playing it's native format (mp4 h.264) using it's native player to the Transformer running flash doing soft-decoding of h.264?
Any reason people aren't using the built-in youtube app?

He was saying he got the tablet 2 weeks ago and it was playing them fine.. Not that he got an iPad 2 and it was playing them fine.

FYI its the built in app which lags, the browser version is actually better.

yes using 480p max in browser plays alot better than built in, does ASUS reconize this as an issue that will be fixed?

Not quite, gtalk isn't functional with video after 3.2 update
Worked for me before I flashed Prime, and works for me after I flashed Prime. It did freeze a bit when I used it a couple days ago though (Prime 1.8.2). I'm on Revolver 2.5 now, but I haven't used Talk video yet so we'll see about that later.

I'm running Prime 1.8.4 and no joy here.. FC's upon video connection.. A google check highlights many with same issue (not related to Prime but in general)
Gtalk on prime 1.8.4 works very well.

Yahoo Messenger 1.4+ with Yahoo Plugin 1.4+
For voice and video calls, you should definitely use the Yahoo Messenger App and Plugin on your Transformer. It is available in the market and a free option. In my opinion, I feel it is one of the best for the android OS.
So, I'm using the tablet version of the NHL Game Center Live Premium Verizon app and trying to watch game lately I've noticed that the Video is super jittery. Unwatchable. Audio seems normal. Video will play for 2 seconds, stop, jump ahead the 2 second and start again, rinse, repeat.
It is driving me nuts. Is anyone else experiencing this? or is it working fine for you? If it works, what Rom and version of it are you running? I originally tried on the latest revolver. Now i'm on the latest Revolution HD. Both are ICS. Haven't tried a Non-ICS, anyone else have a confirmed working ROM?
Thanks!
Having the same problem with stock ICS.
Go Kings Go!!
This is an issue with the kernel Asus released with their ICS builds. All roms based on the Asus release will have the issue. ROMS not based on the Asus builds like the Team EOS rom play the video smoothly.

Yea, I had that problem on Stock ICS and the other Roms using Asus ICS.
CM9, TeamEos, and AOKP all worked great for me with the NHL app. Must be a problem with stock Asus, as Shaun said.
I watch the NHL using the browser,(I'm a subscriber) the beauty of using the desktop version is you have
much more choice of resolutions than with the GCL app.

I had the same issue but I solved by nvflashing ics then installed my rom and cwm via gnufabio's app and the video has worked perfect since

Thats usually what I do using my HTPC. I am a subscriber, not stealing anything here. The problem is I'm a subscriber and they black out games that are on NHL network or NBC Sports. Channels I don't have because I don't subscribe to cable because NHL is the only thing I wanted to watch live. Gamecenter live is great, but the blackouts are rediculous.
Got this working by using Eos nightlies. The tablet version of the verizon gamecenter app stream beautiful video. Great alternative to my HTPC when games are blacked out since the app can be faked out. My previous hack for blackouts on the HTPC stopped working when the year turned over, NHL got wise to it i suppose.
After updating Adobe Flash, things started gettin a lil wonky.
At first I tried it on the standard phone browser and it wasn't working. Putlocker, tv stream sites, etc. It kept telling me that I needed Adobe 9.0 or higher for it to work. I then realized to press the menu key and check "Enable Flash Player". After that, flash started working.
Thing is, I MUCH prefer to use Chrome as a browser on my phone. Sadly though, I get the same error with Chrome. There is no "enable flash player" option that I can find anywhere.
Anyone else having flash problems when using Chrome?
Flash isn't supported just yet.
To my recollection, flash will never be supported in Chrome as Google is trying to distance itself from it in favor of html5/their own video codecs.
How am I supposed to watch porn without flash?? I guess stock or dolphin will have to do.

Bad decision. Flash was still widely used as a video format and its the main reason for me getting an android device over ios or wp7.

Don't worry, porn will be in HTML 5, eventually.
I can not believe anybody that can find XDA does not know Chrome for Android does not support Flash.
Must of been posted on dozens of threads and reviews.
Does anybody actually use Chrome? Is it still buggy.
It is still in Beta.... release was promised awhile ago.
Chrome is quite stable for me and much better than the standard Android browser. No flash support is a plus for me as well. I have no use of the resource hog that is the flash player. Web sites are adapting and moving off the flash quicker than you thought.
