I'm pretty sure I wasn't imagining things but I successfully went on megavideo and watched an episode of the scrubs (=P) but now when I try it says this type of flash is not supported :S and on Youtube it used to load videos fullscreen when I pressed play but now it says Go Upgrade...
Is this due to a new firmware update? I heard a new one was released but I never went through any installing process.
I'd like my megavideo and Youtube back! =O Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
I've noticed video on the BBC website isn't working now either which it was working fine before.....
same thing here, youtube videos says, go upgrade....
The desire runs flash lite version 4. YouTube, iPlayer and most other flash apps run on the full version of flash, 10.1. Some things in 10.1 won't be backward compatible with Flash lite 4, so won't display correctly, or even run atall. When Android gets flash support officially it will run 10.1 but for now,you will have to do with the app variants.
ah but why could I view them before?

I know that iPlayer won't work and never has, but the other videos for example clips on the BBC News site always worked fine and now they dont.

I think they might have updated their application, and perhaps increased the minimal version number needed. That would explain why you get that message now.
I've been getting this too, been trying to load videos from various sources, as flash seemed to work in Farmville on facebook (I almost died when I saw it loaded up), and now nothing, the only ones that work for me are youtube videos, which I believe are handled through the HTC Streaming app. All other flash files on sites just give me the yellow '!' triangle, not a pretty sight at all.

I've also had this problem.
BBC website works fine on my Desire, as does playing a full flash movie. Try this:

Just watched that full screen with no issues over 3G
UStream.tv doesn't though - get a triangle

I thought it might be useful to put together a list of apps that aren't compatible (either partly, or at all) with ICS.
If this thread gets enough responses, perhaps it can be stickied?
Post your findings, and I'll try to update the first posts with updates so prospective Nexus buyers can see what may not work.
Adobe Flash - doesn't appear in market. Available from end of 2011
BBC Iplayer - Doesnt Show in Market
BBC News - doesn't appear in market at all. Now works
Blood and Glory crashes
Calendar pad won't open
CalanGoo not working/syncing. Due to new Calendar APIs?
Dolphone Browser - multiple reports of freezing etc.
Evac HD and Radiant HD by Hexage don't work. They install and launch, but you just get a black screen.
Facebook - Doesn't implement menu button, so can't set options/contact sync Update adds menu button back (but no contact sync still)
Flickr - you can't get past the signin process Update available to resolve the login problem now
Go Contacts has issues with themes
Google Earth - Loads but won't respond (multiple reports of this, although some users find it works?) Now working for me too. Maybe it needed a rest.
Google Tasks Organiser - see CalanGoo
London tube status widgets also broken
MX Video Player - Installs but says device isnt supported
RemindMe also doesn't work. It too installs, but you get a weird black screen when you start it
Root Explorer - Now updated in Market
Skype works, video calling does not.
SwiftKey doesn't bring up predictions? Several users now confirming this does work okay
Sygic (Sat nav) can do initial setup, but won't display nav screen (reverts to home). Now working
Tweetdeck - When posting, dropdown options don't appear for location, contacts etc doesn't appear. Posting box just fills screen. TweakDeck in the Market sorts all problems nicely!
Urbanspoon hangs at the loading cuisines screen
Urban Dictionary by Tim Clark FC's in use Now fixed, update in Market
- Note, I've not added every single report to this list; as some are "intermittently crashes" etc. This could be just random bad luck, but if several people post the same kind of issue I'll add it. Sorry I don't update this as frequently as i'd like!

Alk sent me an email with my serial key and i am now able to use it. However it still opens and then hides itself and i have to re open from the icon in the notification tray.
Im kind of gutted coming from a fully compatible Gs2. Feel like a beta tester!

If you have gs2 think hard before making the jump, as nice as the device is it is lacking a whole host of useful features added by touch whiz i.e
video codecs - mkv , divx xvid
all share - decent dlna app
ability to add individual callers to a block list

Hello everybody
I am a new owner of a samsung galaxy note and an addict of html5 grooveshark
I used to listen to groove shark on my htc sensation (ICS) and now it's impossible to use the html5 grooveshark on the galaxy note 2.
I tried several browsers (chrome, firefox, dauphin) , i tried to install flash player, I wipped my phone and installed revolution HD, I tried all of this on wifi and 3g and I still have the same problem :
when I select a song to play , or a have a continuous download circle or the song wont play and jump directly to the next one.
I tried the grooveshark app and it works (for the radio) but since the html5 web site should work, I am not really busy to pay for something I can get for free.
Does anybody faced this situation ?
Thank for your help

The app itself barely works too.
Not sure what happened. They haven't updated it in a while. Still at 2.7.1
Is there anyone that's of course not on root since we don't have it available yet, able to view YouTube in 1080 and 1440p resolution? I have tried everything and the highest it can go is 720. Anyone have a difference apk or a fix or something!? I know there are lots of fixes if you are rooted and running Xposed but I know that's not available to us. Anyone??

I downloaded the apk from the first post of this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-tmobile/general/youtube-1440p-root-stock-t2964677/page8
But instead of following the instructions I force closed youtube from application manager, cleared data, uninstalled updates, rebooted, installed the new apk, rebooted, opened the new youtube app, skipped the updates and skipped singing in, searched 1440p and tried a video, no luck though, so I went back to application manager and force closed youtube, cleared data. I then went back to the youtube app but this time I updated to the new version in the play store when it asked, and then searched for 1440p again, loaded a video and I have now gotten 1080p and 1440p on my note 4

Yeah the instructions are stupidly misleading from the posts and that thread in general was garbadge.
I can "play" videos listed as 1440p and it DOES look good on the screen. But when I hit the three buttons and choose settings all I see is listed to 720p. Are you all ACTUALLY seeing the 1080p and 1440p listed as an option in the settings?
I followed the link and directions a few post up...
When I said search 1440p it's just to find a demo video, it doesn't affect anything in the steps, go ahead and clear data for the youtube app, did you update after you opened the apk in the other thread?

Yes, just went back and tried your steps above one by one and still only getting up to 720p listed. Did you use the NEWEST from that link you reposted? I used version com.google.android.youtube-6.0.11-60011301-minAPI15-1.apk Should I use the 6.0.13?

Yup so use the 6.0.11 and open the app, try a video, then force stop the youtube app, clear data, open it up again and then UPDATE to the new version of youtube from within the app, it's odd how this works so it seems a bit different for each person
I followed the steps above and i still dont have an 1080p or a 1440p option appear in the settings during play back. I also pulled up the same TF4 1440p trailer.

Still cannot get the 1080p or 1440p to show up with the above instructions. Tried it multiple times. Double checked before and after reboots to see which youtube version it showed after installs and update. No big deal as i dont use youtube too often. I was wondering if it is a limitation due to area of the country? Provider? Which lte network the phone is connecting to? What speeds WiFi network is giving? Or something else that determines it?
Thanks for the instructions and help anyways. Have a great New Year

Yep, same here no matter what I try.
1080p is available on my Nexus 7(2013), but nothing on the Note. Kinda pisses me off.
Yeah, I posted what I did to get 1080 and 1440 but I think it's finicky in the way it works and won't work for everyone.
Yeah the way the get it working is hit or miss when it comes to certain devices. The way I got mine working was installed an old apk of YouTube and then ran it and it worked. Then I updated it though the playstore and the option for higher resolution was still there. That's how I got mine working.
Not really a solution for streaming, but I use Tubemate to download videos in 1440 (if available). It's not on the app store, you'll have to do a search http://lmgtfy.com/?q=tubemate
I dont get it...! I get 1440p playback on my Tab S using the same YT version of the app i have i the Note 4 and no 1440p playback on my Note 4.

Sweet. Works out of the box for me as well, all are listed.. Thanks for the heads up.
Using Chrome, if I a on a forum and someone has posted a message with a YouTube video I get a gray box that says plugIn is not supported.
If I go to the same post using Chrome on my Moto X the video starts playing as it should.
Any idea why and how I can fix if possible? Moto X is on 5.0 and Tab Pro is on 4.4.2.

I think you have to install Flash manually: https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installing-flash-player-android-devices.html
Why it works on your Moto X, I don't know. Adobe stopped supporting Flash on Android some time ago; and it likewise has not typically been included as a pre-installed plugin for sometime (or even available on the Play Store).

Still doesn't work, I remember trying this a while ago with no luck. Installed the latest version of flash player from Adobe site for 4.0 but video still doesn't play in chrome.
I've had better luck with flash on Dolphin browser. Google adobe flash for 4.4. There are plenty of downloads out there. I have not had success with the versions from the Adobe site (be sure to uninstall the one you downloaded from there) . Go into settings in dolphin browser and make sure the flash setting is Always On.

Hey all have a og pixel XL it's unlocked and rooted either stock kernel December update (8.1) I use vlc at work to watch and listen to downloaded videos I've been using it for months now with no issues. Now I recently noticed that all my videos stutter and hitch . I though it was because I went for 8.0 to 8.1 so I went back and it was still happening (even though in the past I had no issues)
Only way I can fix this is to disable hardware acceleration in vlc settings. But doing thumis makes my device warm and sucks battery (being that it's decoding HD video via software) this is driving me nuts. How can I fix this?
I downloaded the device driver binaries from Google but no idea how to install it. I though I could make sure they are all up to date but not sure how to go about that.

Has VLC been updated recently? it sounds like if it's happening on 8.0 and 8.1 and wasn't happening before ... it's likely an issue with the app itself and not the OS.

No, do NOT do that. that's not what those drivers are for - they are for developers, not end-users.
your firmware contains the drivers that you should be using / built for your firmware.

i could not find a past version of the app. well i did on apkmirror but the only non beta past app was from nov 28th i was looking for one from like october but only found beta versions. tried one of them. still doing it. i think it has something to do with 8.1. i would do a back up with twrp and just do a fresh install of 8.0 and see if it happens again but last time i tried making a twrp back up restoring from it failed.
You can download the older builds from the vlc website:

i think i found the issue. i use the app arktube to download youtube videos the night before i go into work so i can listen and watch while on shift. in the app there is a setting to allow to download VP9 version of videos and i had it selected for some reason. those videos are the ones that are stuttering unless i disable hardware acceleration.
would you be able to test to see if VP9 content stutters on your pixel? the video i had was 2560x1440P VP9 youtube video here is the video i downloaded https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33OZFYN_cQw&index=22&list=PL8mG-RkN2uTyuEutQa79RZ0Q5u5gteUci
i just got done flashing 7.1.2 and 8.0 with different versions of VLC each and still had the issues so i guess its because of VP9. which makes no sense being that i can view it fine from the youtube app at that setting but cant if i download it and play it via vlc?
