[Q] Flash player problems - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently updated to LD 3.0.3 and now can't view embedded videos on the BBC site.
I have tried removing flash player and re installing it but still no joy. I have tried 10.1 apk and the new 10.3 from the market.
I have checked and addons is shwoing as on.
When you go to the BBC site its just a white square where the video would be.
Anyone help me out?

This program it's better than vTap posted here at Xda-developers?
I never tried vTap but with this program, you install it, you go on real youtube (www.youtube.com) search like you would on your computer and when you click the video it launches the TCPMP media player automatically and it plays.
I downloaded and tried it but it doesn't seem to trigger Core to open.
I am using the core player. Must I be using the old one core player and not this new edition?
During the installation of Flashvideobundle.cab I keep "Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions"
Not sure why I had my phone all unlocked thru imei-check.co.uk ..
Any pointers .. Thanks

Is this what you are looking for

This would freeze up my phone but I'm going to give it another try. Don't have to choose vTap or this, just use both.

Great, thank you. This version: v1.4.2, works perfect on my i-mate SP3i .
But v1.4.3 can't run on my gadget!
heres 1.4.3
Try this... FlashVideoBundle from Modaco
Or you can go to www.mobytube.net on your device, you can also download in flv faster than from YouTube.
New:
Skunkworks FlashVideoBundle v1.4.4

video stalls
The plugin works, the youtube video is loaded in tcpmp, and after playing the video for 1-2 minutes, the spinning joy starts, and the video never resumes. Tried changing buffering/video driver/other settings/different video clips, but cannot stream the entire youtube video through flashvideobundle plugin (1.4.4). Stalls after a minute or so. Anyone else seeing this problem?

Go to my thread and get the video tools that will fix your YouTube Screaming Problem, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=362685. Install TCPMP/Player 0.81RC1 and the FlashVideoBundle.cab latest Version both to your {SD Card, Soft Reset Your Device}! Next install the Codecs Plugin Zip Pak to your {SD Card, Soft Reset Your Device}, no shorts cuts. The YouTubePlayer.cab is exclusive for pocketPC device ONLY. If you still have YouTube streaming problems get back with me, have fun dude.......!
Technology rocks!!!
The only thing that can better the feeling of "Eureka!! It works!" is the feeling of "Didn't I tell you this will work?".
Technology rocks!! Pun intended Thank you so much Technology!! The problem of tcpmp getting stuck is now resolved. Earlier, I had tried 0.81 tcpmp and 1.4.4 flash bundle, but without the codecs folder. It was those bunch of codecs that you mentioned that solved the problem
Thank you so much!!!!!
Initially I thought it was ATT Cingular that was blocking my youtube traffic after 1 minute, since I was overloading their network. So I went to the extent of setting up a squid proxy on my fedora desktop (on 6Mbps cable line), and pointing my WM6 proxy to this machine instead of cingular.wireless.com:80 proxy. I thought, perhaps the proxy has some rate limiting module. But even with my squid proxy, the stream would halt after 1 min. That meant the player was having trouble streaming, and it wasn't the network. Debugging is fun. Only nerds can appreciate it
Greatly indebted to you and zbob.

Youtube on Excalibur. Does it really work?

Hi everybody. I just want to know if I can actually watch Youtube videos on Excalibur or it's an urban legend?
I'm using Ricky's v24 no opera version and I tried to follow the definitive guide (well, not so definitive) to watch Youtube videos (found in this forum using the search), I also tried Htc Streaming Media (a .cab file someone posted here) and none of them worked.
I use Wi-fi to navigate most of the time, since I don't have a data plan. My router has no blocking stuff (I disabled all for testing purposes) and I'm using Internet Explorer to browse m.youtube.com, but so far I got nothing but a "failed to find network" from htc streaming media.
So.... I really don't know what to do.
If anyone does, please, share your knowledge with me. Thanks in advance.
Easiest way is to use Skyfire it's free, also i use CorePlayer to stream of mobile YouTube.

I just posted a TCPMP player in this forum with all the plugins needed to play youtube and google video, search for that and youre good to go
Or you can always use Kinoma Free play... I been using this for a while and it is promising so far.

Dude... skyfire is the one.... How come such a software is not a hit? It's almost perfect.... I'm curious about it. I'll try to search for it later, but so far... what a great browser! the best experience I ever had. I wanna say thank you all, for all suggestions posted here, but I'll keep with skyfire.
I use skyfire, and it plays the youtubr videos, but without sound.. any idea?
I use a Program called Vtap. The Program is small and simple it searches youtube videos, myspace videos and more and streams without any problems. If you would like to give it a shot go to http://www.smartphonefreeware.org/download/vtap-0.143

But again, thank you all for your suggestions.

If that floats your boat. Skyfire is a memory hog, it has over heating issues (battery and processor) it will be ad supported (as soon as it is out of beta testing) so look forward to clicking through an ad every page click... na, not worth it to me.
Vtap
I use Vtap by Veevo. It not only shows YouTube but tons of other video on the web. Plays great!

I have to agree with Bupahs... TCPMP is definitely the way to go (if you aren't using Skyfire w/ a high-speed connection). I have yet to experience a player with more crisp, clearer playback than TCPMP. I found that the trick is you have to access the Desktop version of YouTube instead of the mobile version. The mobile version won't allow you to use TCPMP, but the other version will. How can you tell the difference between the two, you may ask? The mobile version will use a black background, but the PC (Desktop) version looks identical to the one you're used to.
I installed HTC Streaming Media and I access my browser through the Java application that should be on your phone (it came with mine) and go to youtube and I'm able to watch videos perfectly fine.

I've had problems with skyfire locking up the phone. I find that opera mini is a great browser and Vtap for youtube
vtap works great. make sure to turn the quality up tho

Youtube lagging

I recently flashed EVO rom and everything is working great. I just don't know why youtube video is lagging so much. I would appreciate any help..

You want help? Give us more info...
* What are you using to watch youtube videos? Somebody tell me if I´m wrong but, you can´t watch youtube videos with the rom only. You need an app to do that.
Here are some...
1 - Skyfire
2 - Youtube.cab - It lags a lot...
3 - Coreplayer - I use this one!
* What connection are you using? Wi-fi?
Sometimes connection is too slow to stream the video.
So... give us more info so you can get a better help....
Regards.
Thanks Joe, I just mentioned the Rom because I thought it might have something to do with it. I'm using wi-fi and I'm loading video using the youtube program from google, I'm assuming that's the youtube.cab ? I've been test playing the same video and it seems like the video freezes briefly at around the same times everytime. Skyfire seems to be working but the screen goes blank momentarily throughout a viewing. Coreplayer, I haven't tried but I'm assuming clicking a link on youtube would open up the player to play a video? I'm hoping there's a better way because that sounds more memory intensive. Thanks in advance for whatever help I can get.
Okay the YouTube official app is a sham and judders even on a Kaiser with extra grunt, skyfire is going though a server so all depends on that, CorePlayer will play anything thrown @ it, RTSP of YouTube is good quality... Not exactly memory intensive

I think you should give CorePlayer a try... the youtube.cab (from m.youtube.com) sucks. If you are going to try CorePlayer, it has its own youtube search engine built in. You do not search using a browser, you do it using CorePlayer.
I hope it helps.

Megavideo problem

Got my desire yest and loving it. Having a small problem tho when i try and watch a megavideo.com link I get automatically redirected to some crappy jej share. com site. Anyone know a fix to this? Really want to watch tv shows through megavideo.
Thanks
Bump.
Does anyone know a fix to this? Like i said the desire seems to automatically re-direct when i go to megavideo.com to this j.jeshare.com!

Thanks alot man that worked, but now i have another problem
When i go direct to megavideo and press play its saying this is not supported - shockwave flash.
However i know that is wrong because when i go to another website which has megavideo links embedded, the phone plays them no problem
Hehe, sounds like you need to manage your own expectations...
The Desire is a very capable internet device. It probably has the best mobile browser I've ever used. But it is still a mobile device and as such, not all websites will work...
Yeah looks that way
I'll just have to use the embedded website to watch my megavideo shows, strange that it says not supported when clearly it is tho
guys, have you tried this application? it lets you download and stream any megavideo video, directly on your device, without using flash player and without the browser!

Playing video from the BBC Mobile site

I'm trying to watch videos from the BBC mobile sports site http://www.bbc.co.uk/sportmobile on my HOX but when I load the page I'm getting the message "Sorry your phone is not compatible to play media from this website"
Any suggestions on how I fix this?
Yep, it won't work in the built in browser (nor in Chrome).
However, it works fine in Dolphin Browser HD and Opera Mobile, both free in the market.

Try enabling the flash player, not sure if that would make a difference.

Spot on, I enabled the flash player (which I had completely overlooked) and it works fine. Any idea why this is disabled by default? Is it to conserve the battery?
