[Q] JW Player/flash not working in JB? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys I don't know if this is an android problem in general but when I try to watch certain video clips I get a 403 forbidden error in the default browser (On all the ROMs that I've tried) and certain video streams that used to work perfectly well don't work anymore. I think justin or twitch still work though. Now, I used a pretty old version of the Oodie Prime MIUI ROM and it worked perfectly well. But maybe I flashed something on that version that I forgot to now. Any ideas?

Okay well... I had no idea adobe was not supporting JB. News to me. Simnple fix:

Acer nemoPlayer

I watched a video of the player on Phandroid.
Anyone able to pull the .apk and post it up here? I'd like to see if it'll work on the latest CyanogenMod!

Well i just installed it on my Magic with the latest cyanogenmod through ADB.
It works fine except for the landscape mode (it will cut out a part of the menu) and the widget ( probably because of the screen resolution )
Nice find
Thank you for posting the link. Just installed it on my droid and everything is running great with the exception of some of the movies not being displayed in full screen. About a half a centimeter is left blank on the right of the videos. Other than that it has a pretty nice UI and works well.
This would be the PERFECT Media player IF it had a quick scroll function for lists
hi to all
Above all I tried by myself but I do not understand
I would like to know if someone is able to resize widget nemoplayer because it is expected to resolve the acer liquid but not the hero what a shame for the player by itself works very well
He said that the office is full
thank you in advance
Works perfectly on my Droid! Only problem is that it's kind of slow when selecting something or scrolling through the list.

Its smooth with no lag on MT3G and G1
Cant wait for that snap dragon NeXus to be released.
Works fine, but at the end of once song the player stops.
Is there any way to resize the widget for smaller screens like mt3g?
what kind a video file this nemoplayer can read? my avi video cant play
any resolution?
On my Acer Liquid the Nemo Player was active in the background all the time and used a lot of cpu, so I removed it. Don't want applications running and using cpu even if I never use them. There are a lot of mediaplayers that can do the same as Nemo, without the cpu-usage all the time.
Can you check in LogCat if nemo is active all the time even if never used?
i experienced the same thing... it slows down the whole system. every time i start it it scans the whole sd card for media files which takes quite long (i have about 5 gigs of music on the sd) and slows down the app...
Works great on the N1.

I 2nd this. Wish it was skinable. Anybody have an updated version? I'm currently running 0.92.
Bump! Apparently, the latest leaked Liquid rom has Nemo 0.96.1. Anybody have the file? I'm having some challenges extracting it from the rom bin file.

It now pauses my music when I take out my headphones. Just tested on N1 not sure how it will work on the G1 or myTouch since they don't have headphone jacks tho.

If the app is not working sometimes you can use the browser to go to http://m.youtube.com. Click a video and it should play in your player.
i have the same problem
I'm having the same problem with the mobile site and the app... none of the videos are working properly. I have to keep clicking over and over again until it plays.
Its on the 1.5 kernel . seems Youtube updated some things on there end. Maybe its coincidence , but when i used the 1.6 or 2.1 dev roms Youtube seemed functioned fine then. We have to wait and see when the new roms come out

QFT - Seems to be 1.5 YouTube app is broken.
Yes Kcarpenter that as well./They just need to fix it wow it sucks
WAIT! Mine works now, but not all movies - thats been a problem for ever. I rebooted and tried again and I can play about 6 out of 10 movies.
I wonder if this is to do with the html5 switchover that youtube is working on.

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....

[Q] BBC iplayer lip-sync loss after JB

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.

adobe flash player not working on KitKat!!? or does it?

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
V disappointed with 4.4 - not worth the effort for me.
