Hello,
Can anybody help me get Flash support working on IE again?
This applies to T-Mobile USA Touch Pro2 version and this what happened.
I changed the default browser from IE to Opera (via opera:config), but soon found out Opera did not play youtube videos. I installed Flash7 for PPC to no avail. I removed Flash 7 via add/remove programs
When I went to open a youtube video in IE, like I'd done before, it did not work either. There's a placeholder in the page for the video, but nothing else.
I would appreciate if anybody could lead me in the right directions to:
1) restore flash playing capabilities on IE
2) enable flash playing capabilities on Opera Mobile
As a bonus, how could you make IE default browser again? Just curious...
Thanks
Luis
Had you thought about installing Skyfire instead? That has pretty good flash support, and is faster than Opera for general browsing.
Thanks for your reply Shasarak.
Yes. I had it and I remove it, however, my original question still stands.
I want first to get the phone to its former state (IE plays youtube), then we can discuss alternatives.
Thanks,
Luis
I believe the IE supoort for Flash is currently based around the Flash Lite player (at least for the TP2 from Telstra). Come this October, there would be a public beta from Adobe for the full Flash 10 player for mobile phones like WM phones. The beta player is the plug in for browsers. And sometime next year, hopefully there would be the full standalone AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime) player for mobile phones as well.

Whats up.
Just flashed to the new official ATT and I'm, loving it so far. I played around with a couple of the cooked builds before getting the official. Thanks to whoever leaked it. Anywayz down to business.
QUESTION: anybody got youtube to work on the new official WM6 release?
I have the new beta of TCPMP installed and the new wizzstar which is supposed to make http://m.youtube.com work for our WM6 tytn's.
for details:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319226
No matter what i have tried i cannot get the file association to look at TCPMP. It always calls on realplayer which cannot play the file. I have tried to remove realplayer but this does not help. For those who do not know, Realplayer comes with WM6 ATT official. Supposedly people have done it for WM6 but noone has posted about the official release yet. Any input would be appreciated.
On a side note. Here is what i install to get more usability out of the device.
googlemaps - self explanatory
opera - newest beta
mochavnc - for remote VNC connections
SiriusWM5 - Sirius satelite radio ported to WinMO
TCPMP - Media player because Windows media player is teh suck
WM6 WMV9 codecs - enables TCPMP to play windows media in WM6
fp7_ppc_en - official Flash player for WinMo
Wizzstar FlashVideoBundle - was supposed to assist with youtube.
PCMKeyboard - A keyboard very much like the HTC Touch. Very Nice.
Remotedisplay for mobile - desktop control of your WinMo device.
Thanks,

Mobile Youtube should play through the Streaming Media app, not TCPMP. Mobile Youtube only has a very small collection of videos in poor quality to choose from.
Much better (IMHO) to watch the full Youtube video collection in full quality. All you need is TCPMP, an FLV plug-in (check my post here for a corrected version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=325373 ) and then go to Mobytube.net and search for your Youtube video. It's a lot easier than it sounds and the quality's great!
Have fun.
You need to go into the settings of tcpmp then the file associations then check .flv, I think........
Orb
I use Orb 2.0 on my home PC. Then use the orb link in PIE to access You tube and all of my media at home. It transcodes FLV to streaming WMV and opens in WMP on your phone. Get access to everything without installing anything extra. Add a tuner card and get broadcast TV. Add Tivo2Go and stream your Tivo recordings. All for free and the price of powering your computer at home.

i cant veiw my security camara in my 9502 pls help
am using GPRS
youtubeplay
I've tried all the methods above and never had any luck. I found youtubeplay.cab in the forums. It's a stand alone program that searchs youtube and plays them in that program. It allows you to download the video or stream it. by far it is the easiest way to watch youtube videos. You only have to install one program, and you are done.
Another easy way to view youtube is in Skyfire. It's a private beta, I signed up months ago and got my invitation just few days ago. Its a really cool web browser, you phone doesn't render anything, their server does. It sends you the info already rendered, and its at least 2 times faster than any other browser I tried. It works with the actual youtube site, flash works, I haven't found anything yet that it won't work with. It's amazing.
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.

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.
