hi im just wondering if there are any apps that can play videos online like programs from here http://freedocumentaries.net
coreplayer maybe?
any others? thanks
If you want to watch the movie online, try Skyfire! It's definitely not very smooth, but AFAIK it's the only possible way to watch Flash 8 and higher content...
Thanks.. Ill install in now
agreed on skyfire but there are some others, this is what you should know.
skyfire - connection to a remoe pc running firefox, so works well but is a camera on a webbrowser! lol
iris browser - open source webkit, i like this for youtube and stuff like that which is embeded on sites, also allows for other flash things.
pie6, if you have a custom rom, u might get this, something like dutty, it works but OMG how slow it can be, sucks the life out of your processor.
these are just the ones i have used before, but i cannot talk about opera and flash, as ive never really had it work, other then just on basic flash presentations.
theres always iplayer via opera

I'm using a TP2 with the stock WM6.5 ROM, and am interested in getting Flash support working on websites.
So far I've tried using FixOperaFlash.exe with the built in Opera 9.5, which doesn't work at all.
I've also installed Skyfire, which does work, but is so blurry and pixellated I just can't stand to launch it.
Is there a better option? I'm interested in doing things like watching the video/audio reports on the BBC news website, and maybe playing the odd Flash game.
EDIT: tried Internet Explorer. That gets as far as launching the Streaming Media Player on YouTube (but doesn't actually download anything - possibly O2 is blocking it, and it would work over wifi, I don't know). But it doesn't work on the BBC news website: just gives me a message saying "this content doesn't seem to be working, try again later".
so far there is no flash support for WM devices and they only way you can view flash is with skyfire and its pixelated because 1 you need to zoom in and/or 2 its compressed to save you on data costs and for speed

What version of Opera are you using? My guess is it doesnt support flash. I am not sure if Opera 10 supports flash - maybe someone else can tell you.
Otherwise - check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544770
You downloaded core player - did you install it? What file extension are you trying to play?
Search for "fixOperaFlash" here on XDA. It allows Opera to play flash video and works OK (a little jittery and decrease page load times considerably).
Or better yet (IMO) give the new Skyfire a try (www.skyfire.com). Its much faster than Opera (on my CDMA TP2) and plays flash, silverlight, etc. VERY well.

agreed i use skyfire all the time! The only thing is the rendering pages is still a bit slow... But the lok of it is lke wow...
Hi all, first question. I have switch from iphone and the Xperia Play is my first venture in to Android territory. One of the main things I liked to use my iphone for was watching web videos on Chinese sites like pptv.com, tudou.com, etc...
I am living in China and youtube is blocked here, otherwise I would use it for that too.
Anyways, I have noticed that watching videos using flash on these sites kinda stinks, there are flash ads in the way of the video, the buttons are extremely tiny, so going into full screen is a hassle, and to top it off the quality of the picture is choppier and jaggy.
On the iphone I just push the Play icon and a nice looking video pops up, full screen with simple controls and buttons that are big enough for my thumb.
I have tried using Boat Browser and Dolphin HD, and disabling flash, to see if the HTML5 version of the video will load instead, and have a more mobile friendly video experience, but when trying to load the video I either get a notification to install flash, or a "This video cannot be played" message.
Are there any apps or browsers that give a more iphone-like web video streaming experience on a Xperia Play?
oh if you need to know I have a stock (not rooted) Xperia Play R800i running Android 2.3.4, Kernal Version 2.6.32.9-perf build number 4.0.2.A.0.42
To go full screen just press the flash video for a couple of seconds. As for the tiny buttons, you'll have to get used to that :/
That's it?
Darn it. Just have to deal with flash, eh?
Although I enjoy all the things I can do with my new phone, it's kind of a bummer that I cannot tweak it to have that nice web video experience I had with my iPhone.

Try to use the Skyfire Browser.

That browser is interestingly different, to say the least. And sometimes it even skips those annoying ads that go with the flash videos on the sites I frequent. But it is a little buggy, and not really the iPhone-like experience I was hoping for.
IPhone integrates QuickTime media player with the browser to play video from these sites, correct?
I don't suppose there are combination of browser, media player and codecs I can use for a similar experience, is there?

3 questions about the web browser and things related.
1: what is the best web browser? some people say Dolphin, yet some say Dolphin Beta? I'm looking for something that supports flash videos (like south park studios . com, and flash / java games) Someone point me in the right direction. Also when I do get a 3rd party web browser do I still need my stock? Will it serve any purpose?
2: If I download a web browser that supports flash, do I still need Adobe Flash Player or no? Also is there a particular version of Adobe flash Player that's superior? Someone said 10.6 was the best, I'm on 11.1, does it make a difference? Any benefits one has that the other doesn't?
And 3: What exactly is HTML5, It's like a Desktop viewing experience on a mobile device right?
-Thanks

1. I personally love Dolphin Beta. Great loading times and the best support for HTML5 as well as flash player. After you installed Dolphin you don't need stock anymore, but I keep it installed, just in case. The difference between standard and beta version is that the beta version has a customized engine that supports HTML5 and is much faster that the stock one.
2. From what I gathered, Dolphin uses the stock browser engine with a layer of customizations on top, so I think you still need to have Adobe Flash installed, though I'm not 100% sure. You should try uninstalling and checking if it still works in Dolphin.
3. HTML5 is a new standard for web pages, it allows you to have games and video players work directly without having to install any plugins (e.g. Java, Flash, etc.)

sorry for hi-jack this thread but out of interest, how is the dolphin browser? battery drainage problem?
My Tab Pro has poor quailty when playing some videos (not all) usually live streaming but some video playback. Lots of horizontal lines and overall bad quality. Its bad enough that I cant watch a movie. This wasn't always the case but started about a month ago. Also, I'm not able to view any website videos that use Adobe Flash Player, no matter if I'm on IE, Chrome, Dolphin, whatever. I checked with the website and my isp and they're both telling me it's my device that is the problem. I've only had this tablet for 8 months, how can this be???? Am I missing something?
You have to google adobe flash for 4.4 (don't have a link, sorry) . Then use dolphin browser and make sure is is set to appear as a desktop. This is the only browser I have found to work with Flash. Post back if you need more explicit instructions.

Yes, I found a YouTube video a few weeks ago that walked me through this process and it worked for awhile ...but then one day...poof....no longer worked...I hit the blogs and read that there was an update that came through that disabled something a having to do with disabling Adobe Flash Players that were downloaded manually??? I really don't understand, but it made sense that whoever had an android 4.4 and above could not use Abode Flash Player. My daughter just purchased a tablet and had the same exact experiences at the same time as me, so it seemed to be true. I'm just looking for an answer for my Galaxy Tab Pro.
Flash player is still working just fine for me in dolphin. Also as a flash browser Puffin browser works with all flash content ive come across with no trouble whatsoever.
