[Q] Can't play videos in my browser anymore - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was using stock 4.1 and I flashed SSHD V4. After flashing, I can no longer play any videos, or even access the pages, in my browser. specifically sites like xnxx or redtube. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas why? I have checked my network and they work fine from my laptop and another tablet running stock 4.1.2. On my tablet, the videos just show a broken link and if i click one it says it can't load the page.

[Q] Hulu?

I can't post a link because of new member status but if you search "hulu andriod app" in google, there is a link to absolutelyandriodDOTcom (5th link down) about debuging the web browser. I tried doing this on with the web browser that comes with TnT Lite v4.2.4 without any luck. I don't know the technical details, but would this be possible through some other means?
Thanks
Playon.tv mobile will work if you set browser user agent to Android. Watching SNL now.
Hulu works...
Hulu isn't that hard to get working on our G-Tabs. I'm running TNT-Lite 4.2.2 and it works pretty good. A little stutter here and there on HD show but all in all very watchable.
Read this post to see how to do it...

I downloaded the dolphin browser, set the user agent to Android, and set dolphin as the default browser. I launch playon, go to the hulu video I want to watch, and all I see is a thumbnail of the video and some information about the episode. How do you get the video to play?
Touch the thumbnail. It should play. I have dolphin hd and it works good. Have flash?

I did the "get hulu to play" hex hack on the lib file for flash where you change AND to WIN. not sure if that makes a difference. didn't try playon till after i did that. Maybe try that. Otherwise I am running VEGan 5.1.1

You have to HEX edit the one flash file from you phone on your PC as per the instructions at the link I gave above. After that it works fine...

I installed the version of flash listed in the right-up I posted the link to. Did the HEX edit of the file and I can go to Hulu and watch all videos in Dolphin HD or even the regular browser that comes with TNT-Lite 4.2.2.
It works the same in either browser. Smooth except in 720p or 1080p it stutters some but still very watchable...

I'm on vegan 5.1.1 maybe thats the difference. I did the same as you and still no worky on the sites. oh well playon works great and was already on my pc.
As long as it works......
Thanks for everyone's help on this. I am still not successful using Playon on the gtab, but with the Adobe Flash Player hack, I am now able to watch videos on Fancast.com
Glad you got it working for yourself.....
Got this working yesterday in vegan 5.1 without playon. Used the fixed flash and the recommended settings for dolphin HD. Works great in mid range resolution. All main hulu streaming works perfect but some redirects like the WB (getting my fiancée hooked on fringe:-D) lose sound/video sync after about 45 minutes. Totally worth the time to do.

Do you have Flash installed and working?
If not try this:
Cut & Paste From - " scsione889 " post - Thanks goes to him for how to install flash...
Step 1.
Download “Adobe Flash Player 10.1.120.1.apk” which you will find attached at the bottom of this post and save it on your tablet (I recommend creating a separate folder to save .apk files in).
Step 2.
On your tablet open up whatever file explorer comes pre-installed with the ROM you’ve selected. In there, open up where you saved your .apk, then select Adobe Flash Player, and follow the on screen instructions to finish installing that.

[Q] Watching Flash videos on infuse

Hi
I am unable to watch flash videos through browser on infuse. It says a plugin is required and when i click that it takes to adobe flash page. But flash page mentions that this OS is not supported for flash. I have installed flash 10.3 from market but still doesnt work. Any help?
Thanks
open the browser, hit menu>more>settings>enable plugins>always on
edit:
if that doesnt work look into the "hulu fix" found in the forums for other devices. it may not be recognising the build of the flash plugin, the hulu fix plugin is modified to fake the windows plugin, if it doesnt want to play with the browser, type "about:useragent" (no quotations) into the address bar and set it to desktop, you may also have to clear cookies to get it to work on sites like hulu that intentionally block mobile devices for licence reasons.
if the browser is sluggish then try opera mobile browser, stock android browser can be sluggish on the hummingbird with 2.2. it is way better with gingerbread, unfortunately that will have to wait for a good kernel dev to port over.

Because you are using stock browser, try opera, not the mini okay.
Reason why I like opera browser, if you set flash on demand, when you click the okay on one flash it only plays that single flash that you click, while dolphin and stock browser set "on demand" if you click one flash, every flash on the web page plays, that is why it is sluggish.

I use stock browser and love it, no lag with flash on. Only downside is that 720p flash videos are slow as hell. 360p videos work the best with great frame rates.

[Q] is youtube blocking 360p and above in browser?

I can view anything at or above 360p from YouTube via default or dolphin browser?
The default YouTube app sucks dong cuz it buffers forever and I can't change quality of video...
If anyone know why I can't choose 360p in browser please let me know.
In the YouTube app there is HD button to switch between SD HD.
If you visit the desktop version of YouTube on the xoom you will have the same options as you would on your computer.
If you don't know how to do that search for about:debug ua string.
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk
I am running desktop UA but YouTube would not play anything above 360p in browser.
Is it only me?
I prefer YouTube in browser than the dumb app.
Same issue here, seems to have just started a couple of days ago as it worked fine before when watching 720p in the browser. Now no videos work in pluse, stock browser or dolphin. Just get "an error, try back later". So then I click to go to the YouTube page for the video and still does not work. The only way to work is to swtich the ua string to android, I use the dolphin toggle extension but it is very annoying to have to do this all the time, I don't want to view mobile site on my tablet. Wtf is Google doing this, why block tablets from seeing HQ video, the main differentiation between their offerings and the ipad.
My guess, something to do with copyright. I personally think that its stupid to block mobile video in the first place.
I have had no issues. 720p plays in browser. Check your settings for playback on the YouTube site. If that don't work. Clear data for browser. That will loose all your bookmarks etc though.

Youtube doesn't even play for me with the flash from manta rom...
I have the modified hulu version.
am also using modified hulu version....
In my version of the hulu flash, all I modified was the version number and from Android to Windows so unless youtube now actually verifies the version number along with the version type, that may be the reason. There is a new version of Adobe Flash released yesterday, I will modify it as usual and will report the results here since I can't do much with hex editing as that is the only known hack.

can you post please because I would like to watch YT on my xoom again.
If you all are still having troubles with your Youtube on the Stock Browser, Dolphin, Opera, or Firefox, can you please give me some more details on your settings?
When you say "Desktop Browser" are you refering to www.youtube.com and forcing it to stay that way or is it going to www.youtube.com and then changing to the mobile version, m.youtube.com?
(Only Stock Browser) Have you done the "Aboutebug" (Without quotes) mode and change your browser to LOOK like a desktop UI?
~~If you are using the "Aboutebug" Mode, are you running on Wi-Fi only or are you running 3g?
(Dolphin/Opera Browsers only) Have you gone in and changed the settings to make it look like a Desktop Browser or are you still allowing it to display as a Android Device?
When the videos do work, have you tried to clear your Cache and History to keep the information in the buffer low when you are just getting ready to watch videos/just after you are done watching videos? (I ask because I noticed on my Wi-Fi Stock Rooted Rom that if you do not use the Youtube App, it bogs down the Cache and the History just gets cluttered...)
Are you making sure there are not other applications running too and choking out the Browser UI's? (aka, getting a task manager and killing apps before you go into another app)
I hope to help you out, as well as others in the near future (be it advice or with the same problem) and get this problem resolved!
Thank You for the information in advance! ^_^
Sure,
When you say "Desktop Browser" are you refering to www.youtube.com and forcing it to stay that way or is it going to www.youtube.com and then changing to the mobile version, m.youtube.com?
=> No, I'm using desktop UA string so it is always www.youtube.com. I have to manually go to m.youtube.com.
(Only Stock Browser) Have you done the "Aboutebug" (Without quotes) mode and change your browser to LOOK like a desktop UI?
~~If you are using the "Aboutebug" Mode, are you running on Wi-Fi only or are you running 3g?
=> I have WIFI xoom so WIFI only.
(Dolphin/Opera Browsers only) Have you gone in and changed the settings to make it look like a Desktop Browser or are you still allowing it to display as a Android Device?
=> Yes, I am using desktop UA in dolphin as well. I don't see why using mobile UA on the tablet is usefull at all.
When the videos do work, have you tried to clear your Cache and History to keep the information in the buffer low when you are just getting ready to watch videos/just after you are done watching videos? (I ask because I noticed on my Wi-Fi Stock Rooted Rom that if you do not use the Youtube App, it bogs down the Cache and the History just gets cluttered...)
=> Videos ONLY WORK for me at 260p....doesn't matter whether I clear cache or history.
Are you making sure there are not other applications running too and choking out the Browser UI's? (aka, getting a task manager and killing apps before you go into another app)
=> Yes, rebooted and only running browser...tried many many times.

[Q] Adobe Flash Player for galaxy note 10.1 running 4.0.4

Ok I purchased 2 samsung galaxy note 10.1's for my mom and dad they are both running 4.0.4
My dad likes to watch movies and has alot of his movies stored on vudu but that requires adobe flash player to watch.
My mother like to play facebook games and those also require adobe flash player to work.
Is there anyway that I can get adobe flash player on these tablets so they can enjoy them the way they would like too.
Please help as I have tried everything that I can think of.
Google search the latest flash player .apk file
Or you can grab it here: https://www.box.com/shared/uift12m7ty697fc8naue

I have tried this, downloaded and installed. Went on the net and opened facebook to try a game. The game didnt load on the first try as a matter of fact it kicked me off the net and back to the home screen. I tried loading it again and it loaded but after about a minute the screen went white with the play button in the middle.

ok thanks for the info, however 11.1.115.16 version is not listed on the archive page for android 4.0 devices.
I forgot to add that these devices are the GT-N8013 model.
Does anyone know where I can get this version?
When I installed the flash apk it didn't work at first. So I went to the installed apps and clicked on flash and stopped the app. Next I rebooted the tab and when it rebooted and connected to the net I went to the play store and it had an update for flash player. Installed it and its worked since.
Edit; The flash version on my tab is 11.1.115.34 if that helps......
The most recent Adobe update doesn't include mobile flash, Adobe dropped support for mobile flash player earlier this year. Sideload the last archived Android version that you find on Adobe's site. Eventually that version will quit working as Adobe makes more coding changes to desktop flash and no mobile device will be able to properly display any flash content.

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.

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.

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.
