Hi guys,
I rooted my Nexus 5 and flashed CM11 on it. Opened up a page with a vimeo embedded video on it, and got a "plugin not supported" error - in CM browser, Chrome, and Dolphin. Same page worked just fine yesterday on stock. Youtube works fine.
I'm a noob at this, so can anyone point me to what's wrong?
link to that video?
Can't post links yet, but this is the page on which I was trying to play the video:

oh, ok. i see your issue. the video is posted in flash. the nexus 5 can not play flash, unless through a third party app. there are browser that can play it, they send the vid to their site then convert it and play it for you.

maybe you watched a different version? as this one is flash, and chrome in no way plays flash.

It didn't play on the page, but it was able to recognize it as a video and opened it in the video player that Chrome uses.

if not on that page, if directly via vimeo, it could convert the file type so you can watch it. i can watch youtube vids via youtube, because it plays other files if flash isnt supported. but if someone posts a youtube vid in flash, not in youtube.com, then ill get the same error.

Strange. It was on that page, I could see the video thumbnail and clicked on it. I guess I'll just get over it, not many vimeo videos out there generally.

I'm on the list for the Beta2 but I can't wait until summer.
Are there any browers that support YouTube in a similar manner as SkyFire?
If you are waiting on skyfire for Youtube you will disappointed.. Get coreplayer its much better for that.
My 2 choice for you tube : ( Not browsers )

You have to download the FLV though don't you? I want something that streams.
Also, I want it to be able to play embedded video.

Franly, I don't understand why some people don't bother reading my past articles or, at least, use the search engine. I've answered these questions in the YouTube Bible at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=387986

1, The best method for quick research is searching for my posts using a keyword like YouTube; then, you'll find the related posts, Bibles etc. very fast
2, yup, it's answered is the Bible too
3, Sorry, I've misspelled "frankly"

No embedded operation (yet). However, it works with the plug-in, should your want to prefer it to the old TCPMP
Is it possible that when a youtube link is posted that when clicking it in opera it doesn't just open the page in youtube but instead opens the video in the youtube app so you can actually watch the video since opera doesn't play embeded videos, unless I've missed an app for this.
im also looking for the same thing, does anyone know how?
This has been asked for time and time again, and there's never been a way to do it. I used to love the way that IE would open the YouTube app when you tried to play a YouTube video, but now I use Opera 10 and watch YouTube vids directly on the page they're on, in full screen. It's perfect. If you can get used to the click-to-zoom and back-to-zoom-out idea, Opera 10 is loads better than 9.7, and plays most flash files (once plugins are turned on).
Actually it is Possible.
I have been doing this for a long time in my hd2.
It doesnt work from a www.youtube.com link. The trick is to use the built in opera browser and open the youtube mobile site at m.youtube.com. just click on any of the thumbnail images of the video and the htc youtube app kicks in and plays it in the proper quality not in 3gp quality of the youtube mobile site !!!
you can also convert any normal youtube video link to mobile youtube link by changing the www into w in the link!
it works like a charm!!!

That's obviously only good for if you're on the YouTube site though. It doesn't help for video posted on other sites, as in links to YouTube. I'd still tell everyone who uses YouTube to get Opera 10. It's great!

yes. You are right. an alternative is tap and hold link in opera and open in new tab and edit "www" to "m".
The thing is with opera 10 direct youtube play the video quality is very blocky!
this gives a much cleaner playback.
I have an idea for any devs to develop a small program to translate the desktop youtube link to mobile youtube link on the fly. kind of an intermediate app which captures the link from opera 9.7 translate the link and pass that to the native youtube app! that would be cool!
Sure, it has a youtube app, but what about playing vids from metacafe or other sites? I just get the little Adobe Flash error icon.
Is there a way to get Flash on this phone?

Wait for Android 2.2 or use skyfire browser.
I cant play a video i go to youtube and load a movie and every time i get this video has been removed, all the sites i go the same thing plz help me i still get the android 2.1 version is that a problem to ?
No problems here. Watching a movie right now. Is there anything you did to the system lately? And you can't play any and all youtube videos? Videos in the browser won't work until 2.2. But the you tube app should work fine.
good day.
i bought it yesterday and i go to internet youtube press a movie there i see the movie whith the play thing and press play and then he say that it has been replaced every time i press a video strange thing
Have you opened your youtube app? And when you click play on a video in the browser it should open the youtube app. Look in your apps for the youtube app.
good day. From my voodooed Fascinate using the XDA app.
just download youtube app in market or where can i find it ?
i downloaded myoutube but everytime i open a video i get the warning sign unfortunately we most close myoutube :s

I have installed adobe flash already(11.1 version). I am new user here and the forun doesn't allow me to paste url. Please help.
Try using the official app. If that doesn't work, then it's not compatible with mobile.

Found solution to my problem. All players (youtube/bs /mx and stock ) say unsupported format. The real issue these videos are not allowed to play on mobile.
I found the workaround is switch to desktop mode.

Thank you both for your insight.
Does the official app actually play videos in 1080p?
