[Q] Is there any way to download flash videos?

Hi guys,
Is there any way to download flash videos on our tablet? On my PC I can use a plug in on Firefox to do that but that does not seem to exist on Firefox for Android. There are quite a few Korean dramas that I want to download, but I prefer to use the tf700 instead of my laptop if possible.
Thanks.

tubemate works for youtube...
http://m.tubemate.net/
you just use the share function... but ... only works with youtube app!

I use TubeMate too, but 1) you can actually use it instead of YouTube app, and 2) it obviously ONLY works for YouTube videos. Jut install it, search for the title of the video, hit the green arrow in the lower right portion of the screen, pick "download" and choose the resolution desired. Et voilá!

Don't sites like keep-tube.com work? (I can't check atm)

I haven't tested either, but since they routinely require installation of plugins I wouldn't put too much hope on that. This works beautifully -- and a lot faster since it s(up)ports multiple connections.

I thought KeepTube only required Javascript, as it offers the download through the site itself.. Could be wrong, though. (It whined about Javascript when I had NoScript enabled on pc.)
It certainly doesn't require you to keep the video running, though. It doesn't record the stream, but rather plucks the video out of the flash container. Most of those sites work that way.

Thanks guys for your suggestions, but I have been using Tubemate for a while. What I am looking for is the ability to download any flash videos from any sites, not only Youtube (Youtube does not allow copyrighted stuff, so most of my TV series cannot be found there). For a site like Keeptube, it requires a Java applet, which Android does not support. I suspect there is no other alternative to Windows.

Hi friends, just to update you guys on my finding. It turns out the Flash Video Downloader plug-in is available for Firefox for Android. So effectively you can install Firefox on your tablet and install this plug-in to download almost any flash videos from any sites, not only youtube (I have tested it with a few websites and they all work so far).

And I learn of this after ditching FF for the stock browser... Somehow, I cannot thank via Tapatalk HD, but I'll just do it manually: thanks!

Youtube app

Figured this has been discussed many times, but could not find the details?
Was wondering if there was a way to get a youtube app installed on Webos that will play videos without ads? I know it may need to be rooted, so if thats needed thats ok. It seems like there is a way root now with 3.5 or lower.
I know with Android this is easy with or without root. So would like to do the same with LG SmartTV running WebOS.

you can probably add the urls for the ads to the hosts file which should stop them from loading

Can I do that not rooted?

URL blocking hasn't worked for well over a year with YouTube. PiHole and the like are ineffective.
You need a modified app that doesn't play ads, like you get for Android. I don't think one exists for LG WebOS.

Run youtube without ads on LG-TV
Have the Youtube app installed on the LG-TV (Useing this app direcly will always show adds on all youtube videos), if you have an android phone -Then google "YouTube Vanced" -its a modded adfree Android YouTube client, works on none rooted android phones. Run the app on your phone search for the Video then use icon to cast screen to the TV. Youtube app on TV will show the video without ads.
I guess you can do the same if you have iPhone and an youtube adfree app.

any update on this subject? unfortunately casting from Vanced is not a solution anymore, TV keeps showing ads which can be skipped after 5s of viewing. What is interesting - Vanced even displays a notification that TV is going to show the ad in a few secs

I just went to https://rootmy.tv from my LG TV web browser and it installed the homebrew channel, from that I was able to install the adfree youtube mod and disable my TV checking for new updates which might lose my root. It also includes SponsorBlock in the mod so it will skip annoying subscription reminders & in-video promotions.

Can you revert back if needed?

Jio TV, Android TV Box : Make it more accessible

I have found that Jio TV box provided with Jio Fiber Connection, is not allowing to use general settings.
How ever being an Android TV Box, settings will be available in an application form. So one can always install applications that allow to remap the buttons or keys either on Remote Controller / Keyboard / Mouse. e.g. "Button Mapper" is one such application.
I personally does not have Jio TV Box, but I have found many searching for solution. Above trick might work your you. If any problem occurs, please reply in comment.

can't install any application. how would we install a remapper?

You can install it from Google Play Store.
If you are not finding that application in Play Store, then you will have to "Side Load" that application.
"Side Load" an app means, you will have to download the apk file of the application, put it/make accessible for your JioTV box, enable third party application in settings, and then install the apk file by clicking it on JioTV box. If you are new to side loading you can Google it YouTube it for nice explanation and demonstration of it.
I hope this helps you.

- There is no "Play Store"
- There no way to install apk. Native android "Settings" are not accessible.

JioTV box is a trimmed down version of Android OS without Google Play Store. This means you need to use other Apps and tools for this purpose.
You can watch this youtube video, that explains how to install JioTV Apk on JioTV Box.

Similarly you can install the application you want.
Let me know if this works for you.

Youtube video is 9 months old and is not applicable anymore
The options he accesses in his video are not available in jio tv box now.

That's pretty old video...

Yes, After Feb 2020 Jio had removed the Android Settings as well as App Installer.
The default set top box comes with options of installing third party software, as soon as you connect it with Internet it gets update and it blocks everything.
We need to wait till some solutions is possible for this.

YouTube Vanced of course!! It's the ultimate YouTube app. Its built off the stock YouTube app so it's UI is nearly the same but blocks all the ads in YouTube and has many more features not normally available for YouTube that make it this app so dam good. The developers are from right here on XDA. I'll link below to main site. Check it out...

There's an extension for desktop chrome and Firefox called YouTube adblock. Google how to add extension to mobile browsers, and you're set.

I am using a Lenovo Tablet K10 for watching YouTube and I tried several ad-blockers but most of them hardly work and YouTube would force you to go for premium subscription.
