Opera browser - can't load plugin - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I can't view embedded videos using opera, it says 'can't load plugin' where the video would display itself. But it only seems to be an issue with vBulletin boards. Has anyone else experienced this? I have no problem with embedded videos using other browsers.

I know you said Opera and not Opera Mini, but just making sure.
Are you using Opera Mini? If so, you can't do that with that browser.
Not too sure on this one, but if you have the "decrease mobile data usage" or something along those lines enabled, not sure you can see embedded videos using Opera stock either.

Nope, I can't see anything on settings about decrease data usage. I'm using Opera stock.

You need Adobe Flash for videos to work. Sadly Google removed support starting android 4.4 kitkat. Search the web for adobe flash for android and install last version that works for android jellybean. I hope this helps.

You can try using flash enabled browsers like puffin browser from playstore.

But my point is that I can view embedded videos with the S6 with the default browser and also Chrome, including vbulletin boards. I can also see embedded videos with Opera, but not on vBulletin boards.
I've addressed this on the opera android forum but only got one response from someone who said "Embedded videos on vBulletin boards load as thumbnail + YouTube direct app protocol links for me. E.g. "vnd.youtube:7iyd-gh2rhM"
It's looking like perhaps I'm the only person with this issue. Here's what I see viewing an embedded video on a vbulletin board using opera.

?[How to] All youtube videos link to youtube application

I was wondering if there was a way to get all the youtube videos when clicked on in opera 9.7 to open in the youtube application. Opera used to open the mobile version of you tube which would link to the youtube application when I chose a link from google, now however, It links to the youtube site and I get the flash error message.
I'm going to flash a new ROM onto my HTC HD2 soon when they get the HSPL sorted, which will hopefully restore this function of opera. However, I was wondering if anyone knew in the mean time how to change this in the settings.
I personally cannot find anything in opera:config.
Also when there are embedded youtube videos in websites is there a way to click on them to get them to open in the youtube application?
I've tried installing flash for opera on my phone. Which I think is what changed this setting. I removed it because it caused problems with Opera crashing.
I've also tried searching for this in google and this site but all I can find is people wanting to do the opposite, open youtube in opera.

Youtube Video Download Problems with Dolphin Browser

Apologies in advance if this is in the wrong place, but I cannot seem to download videos from Youtube using the latest Dolphin Browser on my N1.
To clarify, I went to m.youtube.com on WIFI, searched for the video that I want, clicked it, then clicked Download This Video in the pop-up. I then saved the file as video.mp4. However, nothing happens, nothing is added to the download list, and nothing along the lines of video.mp4 appears in Astro.
Anyone can advise on this?
^ does your program have anything to do with Android? I don't think it is what he's asking for
if you want to download youtube, why not use Tube Downloader in the market, it is free
I EVEN CAN'T access to my youtube, i email them [email protected]
and the problem has solved
i use the latest version dolphin browser HD v5.0
i prefer the mini version.
as a beginner, i really appreciate their timely support.

Opera Mobile 10 memory leak??

Whichever ROM I use Im finding that a lot of the time my gallery will not open to view pictures, giving me the error 'unable to start the program because there is not enough free memory...'. To give an example, the error is happening now and I have a few apps open (including Coreplayer which is playing in the background and using 23% cpu) but it seems to be Opera that is causing this problem as even if I close EVERYTHING but Opera down with Task Manager it is only once Opera 10 is force closed that I am able to open my Gallery again. I have performed the same scenario, leaving Coreplayer etc running and just closing Opera Mobile 10 and immediately everything is running fine again. Anyone have any idea why this might be happening? There seems to be plenty of system memory available whether Opera is running or not so I can't understand it....
On a side note, I would LOVE to set Opera 10 to open YouTube links with the actual YouTube app (as Opera 9.7 does) instead of the HTC streaming app - which is crap quality. Does anyone know what registry tweak I need to do to enable this??
Opera 10 = settings advance plugins on i can watch videos on youtube this way
Hi thanks for your response but i think you misunderstand; when I go on m.youtube.com through the standard Opera Mobile 9.7 and select a video it opens up the YouTube app which plays in very high quality. When I do the same with Opera mobile 10 it uses the Streaming Player which is very POOR quality.
I want to know if there is any way of tweaking an Opera Mobile registry setting so that it opens up the YouTube app instead of the Streaming Player.
I am aware that you can go to the full site and view videos using Flash Lite but for me this is also poor quality compared to the h.264 streams used by the YouTube app.
I use m.youtube.com to view my subscriptions and favourites as the YouTube app doesnt allow it from within the app itself as the iPhone and Android versions do.
Thanks

have you recently opened a file rather than save it to sd?
This is a known issue - I've seen others report this on here, and I too have the exact same issue.
If I have Opera 10 running, I cannot open the Album app. As soon as I close Opera 10, I can. It's that simple.
I guess this is an issue that only the Opera devs can fix.
The strangest thing happened when I was testing Opera 10 on a Combo 1.72+2.10 Base...
I was able to open the HD2 Album WHILE Opera 10 Final was running...
But on Full or Mixed 2.10 Bases for TMOUS, Album would spit out the "Out Of Memory" Error...
Don't know why this is though, just reporting an observation
I think it was not the build but the order of opening that matters.
Look here
i installed opera 10 mobile on my hd2,is it my imagination or is it that slow? played with it for about an hour then went back to 9.7 which has woked fine

Did you install it to the sd-card? Opera 10 runs very smooth for me but I still like 9.7 better.

THat is because Opera 9.7 was built solely for the HD2 to make use of the multitouch. This is also why there are so many registry tweaks available as it is built into the ROM.
Opera 10 was designed for all touch screen WM devices, and as such works for the lowest common denominator of device.

How to get Hulu.com and Fancast.com working on WM

I usually dont like to ask for help, but I have exhausted my resources searching and trying things. I am trying to watch hulu.com videos on my windows mobile device. Things I have tried and failed are listed below. Any suggestions, fixes, or workarounds are greatly appreciated and will benefit the entire community not just me.
1: Using Skyfire hulu.com attempts to start the video and then comes up on the screen that hulu doesnt support anonymous proxy configurations and that you must be in the US to view etc.. I am in the US and have even tried using my PC's internet connection for the internet on my Mobile Device and it says the same thing.
2: Using Skyfire fancast.com tries to start the video but just says loading and never actually starts the video.
3: Changing the UA string to various other things.
4: Using Opera Mini, Opera Mobile, and Pocket IE. All of which do not get as far as Skyfire.
Uzard web browser nearly does it. It plays the ads on hulu, but can't load the shows in its viewer (tcpmp).
What would be awesome is a hulu downloader. Most of those are dedicated to porn, though, lol.

Just as you said, ads play but not the actual show. Thanks for the reply though I like the browser.
this has nothing to do with dev or hacking, please post in the correct forum.
moved to Q&A.

I've been hoping someone would find a fix for this issue for several weeks now.

[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.

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.

Got the same problems myself now.

R u using desktop ua or android?
I have no problems with it either way. If its android it just loads the mobile then I click on open desktop site. When on desktop it just goes right to desktop of course. No issues.
Cant watch any videos on the desktop site now.

You should be able to watch 240p
You're right, but that sucks.
Are you guys having the problem with stock Adobe Flash or only the modified version of Adobe Flash for hulu.com support?

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.
