No matter what browser I try to use it keep getting this message
Can anyone suggest a possible solution, thanks.
Running stock ICS.
Edit: it seems that this issue is only with ESPN.com, I played a video on yahoo and no issues.

you don't have flash player
even if you already installed it, it won't work because of ics.
there is one browser who support flash by rendering something on their servers, i don't remember the name but it has a bird on it icon.

I have flash and it works on there websites with video, on ESPN is not working and keep getting that message

If video playback is working on other websites, and reading that error message, then common sense would tell me that ESPN.com has made the conscious decision not to allow their videos to playback on an Android device for whatever reason. Citing that it worked in the past doesn't mean anything because things change.
HULU does the same thing and blocks video content playback on Android.
because some web sites aren't using only flash to broadcast their videos, they are also using html5 with mp4 (i think) the player isn't cool like flash. but it has the basic fonctions.

i'm using both opera and miren and can't get espn mobile site to load videos. opera says video format not supported. miren says you do not have permission to access this. i also can't get espn video clips to load even on full desktop page view using these 2 broswers. it just shows a picture and no options to play. i uninstalled the stock browser since i don't plan on using it. i doubt that has anything to do with. adobe flash is already installed. can anyone help me out?
edit: apparently it does since i installed the stock browser back and it works fine on opera but not miren. the quality of the video is horrible though. is that normal? i don't see any option that relates to that.
Link? So I can try it on my phone?

Everything seems to work till you go to watch the movie then it will only play for 8sec thru the app. At least I can finish watching the movie thru the TF's browser.
So you can watch the movie in the browser? 720p?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
Yes sir. I launched the app, clicked on the video which launched the browser to make the purchase. I ordered the movie, clicked play and it asked me to play back thru the app or the browser. I tried the app and it would only play 8sec then stop. I went back to the browser and this time when it asked me to choose I picked the browser and it worked fine. Yes, in 720p
EDIT: Forgot to mention I was getting an message in the app player something about my rental had expired.
Also, it gives you the ability to display personal videos on a youtube style video wall. Now just gotta figure out how to make cover art show up, instead of the video snippet it uses. This is what I was coming on the boards tonight to actually inquire about - How to show movies with cover art from a screen I could choose from. Problem solved!
I am10 minutes into Hall Pass, playing right out of the app, tethered to my iPhone while in the car. This is super sweet.

Ok I rented "The rite". I was able to play it in the browser and in the video app. Only at 480p though.

What's up, neighbor in Orlando? I am in Vero Beach...
Super simple...for your 3G (NOT a 3GS, right?) you'll need to jailbreak it and find an app in Cydia called 'MyWi' or 'PDANet'. Both of these will allow you to both tether with the USB cable as well as via wifi and bluetooth. If you have a 3GS, and you happen to be running iOS 4.x, you can download a tweak called 'TetherMe' which enables the native hotspot tethering in iOS4. Good luck...PM me with any questions.

OK so were you on home wifi or 3g when you did this. And how come you were only able to play the movie in 480p. Were you playing it in 480p in the browser or in the app?
Thanks for trying to out
I was at home on my wifi. I played it thru the browser. Paying it thru the app only played it for about a minute. Don't know why it only allowed 480p but it only allow that on my google tv too.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
hmmm the rite is a fairly new movie. Maybe it has something to do with the fact it was playing on the web and not on the app. Although that's odd because on YouTube when a video is HD it plays 720. Oh well thanks for answering the posts. Hopefully Google will release the in app video update soon.
i would like some advice to what google tv set top box is good for watching flash video on website... and has lot of storage and also be able to use video playe app like MX player or mobo player. im try ing to buy this tv set top box for my parent to watch chinese Drama on the internet with... any recomendation would be appreciate. thank

Some browsers are flash-compatible, but just test the sites you want to use on an Android device you already have - see if it works. If so, you're good.
Otherwise, you might consider building a mini computer for the task. Also a good idea because Flash is no longer officially supported and may stop working at any time since it's not going to be updated any more.

Screenshot or it didn't happen.
Amazon has instituted the Adobe DRM & also added Silverlight as a requirement for streaming. This is to prevent work-arounds & currently (for the last several months) Amazon Videos will NOT work on Android phones or tablets period. There are a few browsers the do server-side rendering & it will sort-of work on those, but the quality is crap & the lag/stutter is unbearable.
Amazon's stance is that you either need to buy a crappy Kindle, or wait for them to finish extorting licensing fees from Google, the OEM's & your carrier. There have been numerous threads about this issue, which affects many platforms, all over the web.
Amazon instant video is working on my S3. I have Adobe Flash Version 11.1.115.20. It is working through my stock browser.

Ok, here's a screenshot. It wont play movies marked HD, but has played everything I've wanted to watch. I'm not that concerned about hd. As long as I can watch the video, I'm good.

Works for me on the Note 10.1 with Flash Player installed and Dolphin Browser. It seems a bit smoother than using the stock browser.
I'm able to watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer on the stock browser, but as you can see, the quality isn't all that good. I don't mind though because it's not that bad, either. I attached my own screenshot in case you wanted another example of the video quality.

Install the .63 flash from the Adobe Android Flash Archive. They fixed the DRM issue several weeks ago. With AOSP browser, you can even watch HD in desktop mode.
Or install from here.
Working just fine on stock browser in full screen mode.

Hi there!
I have been trying to watch flash videos online from live steaming sites on my S2+ but they keep crashing at start and sometimes the browser closes as well. Tried it out on default browser, dolphin and opera without luck. I can see the flash version installed on my mobile (for instance on http://www.whatismyflash.com/ I presently get flash version 11.1.115.69). I can also see flash animations on several sites - only videos give problems.
I already tried several other flash versions for android 4.0+ from XDA thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2190346 but the crashing problem persists.
Any suggestions?

Oh there's a fix for this ? My chrome never plays video from Daily Motion. Sometimes the app also never works !
Hi guys! Thanks for your replies!
I found out that I can also watch flash videos on certain sites but I still have problems watching live streaming of sport events on sites such as firstrownow.eu ... Maybe it's because the site is full of banners and pop-ups which are hard to close on mobile and end up crashing any of my android browsers (firefox included). On my laptop I have an addblock pluggin that avoids most of these annoying banners and streaming works great... but I can't find a similar add-on for android. Does anybody know a way to block internet banners on android?
Also, could anyone please give some feedback about streaming quality on S2+ from one of the firstrow sites that require flash?
Several firstrow sites with different domains can be found on google. I'm basically interested in being able to occasionally watch live sports on my S2+ (mainly European football) and almost any relevant sport event is streamed live on these firstrow sites
