Hi
Whenever i try playing a flash video in the browser (or in skyfire), after i press the play button, the progress bar is moving, i get the audio, but there's no video - the video area remains black.
I'm experiencing this for about 2 months now, in which i switched ROMs (iceandfire, cyanogen), updated the flash player several times, updated skyfire several times (it happens both in skyfire and stock browser), cleared cache of those 3 apps, cleared data, tried to uninstall and reinstall...
nothing helps...
Any ideas?
Thanks
Edit: found a similar thread at cyanogonmod forums:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/..._hl__+black++video__fromsearch__1#entry194047
I'll keep an eye on it over there. I''ld delete this post if I knew how...
I also had this problem, then I downloaded the 10.2.idontknow and it worked again!
i am using the cm 7.0.3 and adobe flashplayer 10.3. seems no problem. i did not do any extra setting. so give it a try.
I have a similar issue. Mine will play fine in the browser, but when I open the video in Youtube after starting a video in the browser, it will start to play, but only audio plays - no video. I am currently using a stock, non-rooted G2. I didn't have this
problem with my last G2 running CM7 though...

I have the same issue. However my YouTube app works fine. An interesting point is videos that automatically open in full screen from the browser work. I'm on cm7.0.3 with the latest flash.
I used to be able to resolve the issue with an older version of flash but now when I do that YouTube gripes that I must update flash player.

Wow I must be lucky, because I've never experience this issue. And I watch youtube dailymotion on the browser and never had this issue

I've had the black screen of death too. Only audio on random embedded videos. Like worldstarhiphop.com for instance. I'll try a fresh rom install and see if that works if no fixed is found in this thread. It's the only thing hindering CM7 based roms.

from the cyanogenmod forums (the link i posted in my first post):
@dewd write:
"Yes. I did 2 things to make it work.
1. I updated to the latest version of Flash in the market (10.3.185.22).
2. I used ROM Manager to "Fix Permissions" (and rebooted).
After these steps I was able to watch Flash movies.
This did not fix Netflix, It plays movies with sound, but no picture. "
it worked for me, took a couple of minutes to fix permissions but then i was able to see flash videos again.
i checked it only in 1 website though...
I have same problem...
Apparently the fix permissions method didn't work...
So I tried what @Tommebaas recommended, and downloaded an old 10.2 version of Adobe Flash Player.
It worked! thanks @Tommebaas
Here's a link to the version that did the trick for me:

10.3 is better and runs flash that 10.2 can't, so that's not really a fix if I downgrade.

What does 10.3 run, that 10.2 can't? I don't view a whole bunch of sites with Flash. But for what I have viewed, I've never had an issue as far back as 10.1. It seems like a lot of the recent updates have had more to do with tablets (and very minor performance enhancements) than anything else.
I moved Flash to SD and it works for me now.

the 10.2 install fixed it for me, idk what is suppose to be special about 10.3 but um if it doesnt work its not better than 10.2 so yeah.

Well it seems I've had a persistent problem with my rooted G2. I used the visionary method and everything seems good. But recently anything video related freezes. Ill try to play a youtube video (Strong Wifi connection) and it'll freeze. Like ill still hear the audio but not the video it just stays black or on one image. & everytime I try to watch videos I have stored in my sd card the video player crashes or shows nothing.
Anyone had the same issue? I'm pretty sure its not a hardware problem because ill play PSX or angry birds and it runs perfectly fine. Anyone have a fix for this?

I have a HTC desire hd with Cyanogen mod 7.1.0 rc1...
since updating the iplayer app I haven't been able to see the videos, but the sound is there I tried it with flash-player 10 & now the latest.. still the same, I
can watch you-tube, and videos on my device, I tried it with video codec for Armv7 still black screen... has anyone a suggestion on how to get the dam thing to work.. please
did you try reinstalling iplayer again, i´ve found that works sometimes. i use iplayer over a vpn from spain and it requires force stopping the app to get it to work quite often and sometimes even that doesnt work so i´ve got the apk on my sd card so i can reinstall whenever clearing the app cache or fc the app doesnt work. hope this helps
edit i´m on virtuous unity 2.39 but i had the same issues on stock gingerbread so i dont think my issue was a rom thing
I tryed reinstalling, tryied older versions, the same every time, It worked when it was on stock 2.2 froyo, so it seem to be a codec issue with cyanogenmod, but have not seen any related comment. thanks for the reply.
How about the iplayer webpage online, is that working?

Im having the same issue but I'm using a HTC incredible s. All other video works so it must be a problem with cyanogenmod.
I tried using cm7 and had the same problem.Fixed it using an older version of flash. Don't know why but the newest flash doesn't work with cm7.

however it went back when i rebooted.
Uninstall then reboot, then reinstall and reboot then it should work fine.
It did for me.

I'm transitioning into our miui ics build and it's amazing. I'm having issues with videos from ESPN and even mlb at bat. The gb build worked, but can't seem to get videos to come through.
Is there anything that I can dl or tweak to get the miui ics build to support video playback?
Thanks
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
Which MIUI ICS are you on, Lithium's or Swipers??
Try MX Player
I'm having that issue on Lith's... Any ideas HipKat? Thanks in advance bro
Like I said, MX Player has been shown to playback video with no probs on Swipers ROMS. Since Lith has HWA, I would assume it will work on his, too
Hey hk. I've tried both and still the same. Currently on swipes and video will try to start and hen goes to error prompt. Vevo works tho. Maybe we'll see a change in Fri/sats build?
Thanks!

This weeks recommended changes:
Support for setting Caller ID in contacts
NEW - Backup app supports automatic local backup (See Settings menu for details)
NEW - File Explorer support for Searching files
Browser - Search and Address bar split in two to make it more convenient to switch default search engine
Full list of changes will be published on Friday.
Sorry guys I tried the guide about installing flash player but it still doesn't seem to be working. The video and play button will actually show but when I try to play the video it either won't buffer/buffers forever or try to play an ad, but fail (won't even load).
Please forgive any inconvenience this causes anybody. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Simply download and install using this link.
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/...roid/11.1.115.48/install_flash_player_ics.apk
It says ics but i confirm this works on jelly bean.
Yes, that's the one I've been trying. I download it, open ES file explorer, locate and install it, yet I can't watch videos other than YouTube (which I never had a problem with in the first place).
Edit: Sometimes it seems as if it really wants to play 'cus the buffer symbol will kind of skip and speed up, but continues buffering forever.
Also, I'm using the default browser, but have also tried boat/boat mini, opera, dolphin, and dolphin jetpack if that counts.
And this might be the issue: I'm trying to watch the videos on animefreak.tv and justdubs.tv. I'm not sure if those types are supported, but they did say they needed flash player 10.1+
Thanks again for your time.
Another edit: Just tried a different video player on the anime freak.TV site and it worked flawlessy, so I suppose it's safe to assume the others are just obsolete or something?

What rom you're running? Browser? Desktop mode or android mode (user agent)? Which flash player do you have
For flash to work you need to use another browser other than stock or chrome, example Boat Browser.
In your app drawer you should have flash settings, open it using boat browser then simply close the tab. Open a new one with flash and give it a shot, it should work ok.

The people's ROM gs3 and as I've said I tried the default browser, boat AND boat mini, opera and dolphin with flash player 10.1 and 11+.
I'm still messing with it here and there but still only the specific video player on animefreak.TV will work. Not including YouTube of course. And I tried desktop view and otherwise with all that had the option (boat, default, dolphin but dolphin keeps flash off always regardless, so...)

Hello all,
I just got my nexus 7 2013 yesterday! But if I update the newest version of YouTube, it will restart.
If I use any browser Chorme, Aosp, firefox , etc o play video clips from YouTube, or any video pages, it restarts.
I used to have problem with the camera also, but it was fixed with the new update! Has anyone experienced the same problems? And any suggestion to solve? Thank you

This is what I did:
Uninstalled New Youtube app, go back to old YouTube, and it works fine.
Deleted the old youtube and install the new one from play store => restart like crazy
Try to turn on "Force GPU 2D rendering", browsers could go a bit longer than 30 secs before restarting
Every browser has that problem.....
Camera, turned on, and restart, but in the newest firmware with the Q, it was fixed.
Apps like Vevo works normally.
Install Plants VS Zombies 2, restart every now and then

You could always try and go for a complete wipe and flash the Google stock image. I'm pretty sure that it'll be fixed then.

Can I flash stock image through CWM or TRWP?
I think nothing works until now! I bought this in the US, but I came back to Australia already! Cannot return since it is not officially sold in here!
I started thinking about the hardware problems
Hope no one will get bad experience from Google and Asus like me! What a waste of money!
Can only use it to surf web and something like that, multimedia functions are dead!
Anyway! I did a bad choice!

I've got very similar issues, any programs incorporating video randomly lock up and reboot the tablet. I've uninstalled the latest YouTube app and stopped it auto updating which seem to have stabilized that but stuff like Skype still lock up.
Brought mine back from the US to the UK and I'm going to try Asus support see what they say, otherwise I'll have to try rooting and maybe a custom rom in time.
Don't bother to root it! Just bring to Asus since it is official launced there! I rooted, tried a number of different roms, but still the same.
New error for me, flickering screen......
