Streaming In Browser? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone have a surefire way to get streaming to work from sites like atdee.net?
I've tried Firefox, chrome, dolphin, and boat browsers.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Keeps saying update codec. I've installed flash 11.1 and thought that would do it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

video format not supported?

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?

About s2 browser

There is something wrong with my browser after update I can't copy anything from my Facebook or any other sites..... This problem is occur on my inbuilt galaxy s2 browser, Is there is any setting about this.... Help me.

Maybe re-flash stock? bit of a nuke approach but very affective.
I'd recommend trying Dolphin Browser, with some extensions you may find that it's a better alternative.
Sorry I couldn't be more help.
Already started using dolphin hd..... Thanks for the help.

Browser Poll

Hey all!
What is your preferred browser?
I am a continuous user of Opera Mini for several reasons. The top of which being the data usage savings thanks to the compression from Opera servers. My second reason, it's simple to use and fast as all get out even when on 2G.
Being open to change though, I'm curious to see what others use regularly. Thanks guys n Gals, let me know. Any input is appreciated.

I use chrome because that's what I'm using on my pc as well. I'm not saying it's the best though

Rude and rather on the condescending side as you seem to be assuming I didn't already look for a post like this but I'll give you your upper-hand and admit that I must have missed it, so I'll bite the rest of my tongue and apologize anyway. Have a super day. :good: :good:
Thanks to the other replies.
***disregard this post, it seems the post it was directed at has been removed.
stock browser.
its light-weight and therefore fast, all websites run on it no problem and it syncs with my chrome because my chrome is synced with my google account.
but also im on nexus s, so cant really handle the chrome browser optimally.
perhaps for s3 or galaxy nexus it would be worthwhile using the chrome browser.
For me its opera mini just for the fact it loads pages quicker and its snappier than stock or any other browser I've came across.
But when YouTube app decides to start hiccupping I go to stock for YouTube.

Yeah I tried Firefox for a while. Was pretty impressive but it seemed like a bit of a memory/storage hog. Other than that, no gripes with it. I have used Firefox on my laptop for I don't know how long and love it.

For fast connections Dolphin is the best but for 2G none other than Opera.

Dolphin HD is a really nice fluid browser. Maybe switch to Chrome when I get ICS because its such a great computer browser

Browser Recommendations?

So many choices but havent found "the one" yet. Which one do you find to be the best performer?
Sent from my GT-N8013 using xda app-developers app
I recommend boat browser. Flash working, gestures, full screen.
I was using the stock one until recently.
Installed firefox and synced it with my desktop. Has a few quirks but overall its my main browser now.

I'm working with Dolphins Browser. It's fast and fully support flash. For me is this the best browser for Android

Yes next is very good its my No2 atm, 1st is chrome because I need tabs on top for quick change.
After testing a number of browsers I have to say that the newer versions of Chrome is hard to beat. I love the "swipe between tabs" feature and that it syncs so good with the phone as well as the desktop and laptop.

My choice is firefox.. really smooth surfing on note 10.1
have used chrome much since i use firefox on desktop as well..
It also depends what browser you use most on desktop
The new Chrome v28 works very well.
Chrome for sure. Logged in to the same account on my phone, and my other 3 computers. So where ever I go, or what ever device I'm on, I have all the same tabs open and ready to go. Works flowless.
I'm with Maxthon for years....

Thanks for all the ideas. I've tried most of them, each seems to have its pluses and minuses or one key feature that doesn't work for me. E.g. Chrome works on my banking site but the copy/paste function doesn't work. Firefox won't pinch/zoom for me. Thought Boat browser was going to be the one, thought it was working on my band site bill pay but at the very end it wouldn't submit the payments. Probably all of these problems are User Error.

It's a toss-up between Maxthon HD and the latest Chrome for me... Chrome was terrible originally (despite how bizarre that is), but recent versions have been pretty awesome. Maxthon has always been rock solid. My 2 cents.

chrome is the only browser you need, it syncs your bookmarks between desktop and tablet/mobiles so you never have to save them manually, all the other browsers on the android market don't even do that, i think firefox has this feature too, i have firefox installed for websites that use flash as chrome won't work with them properly.
I may have to try chrome. It has been awhile. Dolphin is good since it plays flash and supports multi window/dual view.

Another thing you may want to try is the stock browser with a different user agent. I've found some sites function better when using the iPad user agent (web designers favor Apple, big shock).
I'm not sure if this works on non-rooted ROMs, but the UAstring option appears under settings after typing about:debug in the stock browser's address bar.

I use the stock browser. Over the years I have tried various browsers, learned the gestures and so on. Each one was quirky. The stock browser just works. I shouldn't have to fiddle with user agents, or gestures or jumoing through rings of fire to read web pages.

[Q] Adobe flash videos not working on galaxy s2 plus 4.2.2

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?
Have tried chrome??

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

Hi. For live streaming videos I am using MX player.
