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.
Thanks
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.

Like I said, I don't know if Chrome even support Flash anymore. As the above suggests, Dolphin browser does, and I believe Firefox as well.

Thanks, I remember having to setup Dolphin browser to watch amazon videos on my old tablet.
I just wish Chrome on my Tab Pro worked like Chrome on my Moto X, which does show the videos in the browser. So strange that it works on one but not the other.

When I go to the link on my tablet it says html5 will be used but if I go to site on my phone it says default player will be used.
Any idea how to change that setting on my tablet? Looking through chrome and YouTube app settings and I don't see anything.
Thanks!

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:
http://www.spschat.com/Shocked/ep01.swf (it's funny btw, if you like South Park)
Just watched that full screen with no issues over 3G
UStream.tv doesn't though - get a triangle
Did any1 get it to work. I got it installed along with amazon account but FC's whenever I play a video.
NM I should of search first

When ROMs add Flash (there is one already) I had been able to watch through the browser with Flash.
Manually install flash from the APK (search for it on xda. Found tons of links for it).
Install Dolphin Browser HD/your choice of browsers that support flash.
For dolphin change it to Desktop instead of Android device and it will let you watch amazon videos. I tested this with my Amazon Prime on-demand free streaming and worked well.

That worked for me too. I even got full screen video by tapping the "pop out" button. Then Dolphin pushed out an update and now I can't watch Flash anymore.
Looks like Amazon wasn't supporting Android smartphones. I'm not sure if it's changed. I saw a youtube video on how to make it work but it seems to no longer be effective.
Is anyone able to watch Amazon streaming videos with a standard unrooted etc android device?
I think you can watch them in any browser that supports flash. I believe the stock browser and Dolphin work.
I downloaded Dolphin but it won't run Amazon streaming video. It results in an error code.

I don't think Dolphin supports flash anymore. You can install Boat browser for flash content. You need to install flash separately, and enable it in Boat browser settings. Then you can watch Amazon videos through Boat browser.

Thanks, I downloaded Boat but still no go. Looks like there's no flash support beyond android 4.0.x.

Google Play won't download the flash player for current Android devices. Looks like there's other ways to download flash...
http://www.ghacks.net/2013/07/29/how-to-install-and-use-flash-player-on-your-android-device/
Yes, you have to install it separately and not from Google Play. Search xda, I'm sure you will find a link to the file. It works on Android 4.3, I tried streaming with my N7 and can confirm. Don't worry about the threads saying it won't work, that was an old issue of Amazon doing something to exclude android devices, they no longer do that.
Don't forget to enable flash in boat browser once you install it. It is not enabled by default!

Hello,
is there a better YouTube App as the "****ty" Amazon YouTube App? Without root I can't use the google youtube app and XMBC is not a good solution - only if i know what i want to play...
Thank you
It is possible to the normal android youtube apk.:good:
I installed these 4 apk´s onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=73036323A69E3CF1!1484&authkey=!AIVXLFXAOWDeM0Q&ithint=folder%2c.apk
After that I installed the newest playstore and google play services.
Than you have to install the newest youtube apk and sign in with your google account.:good:
Google music works, too
^^^WITHOUT ROOT!
There is a YouTube HD MOD that works perfectly fine if you have keyboard and mouse access.
No rooting needed and you only have to Google search "YouTube HD MOD" to find it.
It was the first thing I tried when root was not even available.
It is hard to read where the file is with the new design changes of XDA,but it is under downloads in colorful links.

Edit:Stupid Opera Browser does not include the http part and thus kills the linking function.

Hi - thank you! I don't know that Mod. I will try it - but first I've to order a Keyboard with Touchpad ... Maybe it would be great, because I can use Firefox for surfing too ...
Thank you!
The worst problem is that the fire TV's search screen appears frequently when using a browser,and you may not be able to stop it without root.
Opera is good despite that annoyance I show and the large cache filing,but FireFox is a hassle without root unless you can find a way to set a different IME as default to prevent the onscreen Fire search from coming up.
Would settings.apk work without root well enough to change defaulted IME to Null Keyboard?
I would assume you can install it like any app when sideloaded.

I've installed the YouTube Mod and I also have the Logitech K400 ... It works - but I can't login - is there a solution for that? I have many Abos ... And every time I go to an input field the FireTV Keyboard opens - i want to use my K400 ...
Yesterday I found the original YouTube TV App in the Amazon App Store on FireTV and it works perfect. Pairing and Login works also... Great!

thats not the google one, its just a amazon clone.
Hi,
I mean that one: http://www.amazon.de/youtube-com-Yo...e=UTF8&qid=1414321064&sr=1-1&keywords=youtube
And it seems to be from youtube.com ? Or is it a clone? But if it's a clone, it's a real good one!
Does anyone have the official YouTube application for the Fire TV for me to side load? Thanks!!
YouTube for Fire TV
I have found that the YouTube app for Google TV works great on the Fire TV!
You just have to have Play Services installed so that you can log in (no root required). Of course, it will not show up on your list of apps so you will need another method to open it. I use the Folder Organizer app for Fire TV - ugly as sin, but effective!
new Youtube on Kodi (14.0,14.1) is actually awesome it has sweet UI looks much better then on XBMC (13++).
Other suggestion maybe Youtube for Google TV.
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:

well, I did just try vlc. not sure what u are watching, but I used a couple 4k videos on my phone and 4k YouTube videos.... no issues. - but that may not be an best test; I'm not using the stock kernel...
I'd see if u can get someone who isn't running a non-stock setup to reproduce it....? maybe someone will read this and give it a test too...

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?
