With websites that support flash, I am stuck viewing videos in that format. With my old phone, it didn't have flash support and no problem viewing MP4 format.
I would like to use Mobo Player because it is much more convenient than using flash for video. What can I do?
Go to Settings.
Go to Applications.
Go to Manage Applications.
Now...I'm assuming you have a flash player app installed.
Click that app and go to the Launch By Default.
Click Clear Defaults.
Now try to reproduce the issue.
Hopefully this can fix it for you.

Yes, Adobe Flashed is installed (it comes by default and I've updated it), but there are no defaults on the app or Mobo Player. I think I might have to uninstall it in order to view MP4. Is there any way around this?

Sorry for the confusion, when I said flash player, I meant flv player (stand alone) to view flv flash files.
You should install SHOOTME and take a screen shot of your phone so we can see what you're referring to.

Thank you for bothering to respond, I appreciate it. I will describe my situation better:
Whenever I would go to a flash supported website, say CNN, it would view the video in flash instead of any other format such as MP4. I have Adobe Flash installed on my phone, and I'd like to know how to override it so that I can view any video in regular format. I don't want to have to uninstall Adobe Flash because I go to Newgrounds.com a bunch on my phone.

So you mean, when you go to CNN(example), you want to have the option to view the video with one of your MP4 player apps. However, you don't have any option and it automatically plays via Flash? Is this correct?
If so, I don't think there's a way dude. I could be wrong.

Okay, thank you for responding. I think I can freeze flash to fix my issue.
Have a wonderful week.

Jetvd.apk 1.2.2 has the most save options, you can do 3GP MP4 and FLV video formats and of course MP3

Ill try it out.
Are you sure it doesn't just save the video as an mp3?

Tubemate!! They give you the option to download in MP3, FLV, SD, & HD if the Youtube video has it. I've had it since forever. Its great. Google search it. I think the link is tubemate.net Its like tubex except that tubex is a rip off copy. I've had tubemate since before tubex came out and yeah, tubex is a copy.

I haven't tried the options out myself but they are there for most videos. It also allows you to play all yotube video in mp4 format or 3GP (high or low quality) even if they aren't suited for mobile phone, I have used this feature before.

I've been using TubeMate as well and have had no issue's downloading YouTube files and with great quality and choices.
I still like keepvid better, it does everything you guys stated, and isn't limited to just YouTube videos as its source.
Can someone help me and find out why my.phone won't play a .mov file or video sent from my girls iPhone. She took a video of my step son. Sent it to my gmail account. But when I hit info to play, it says, " no app can play this file or open" any advice? And the phone has flash player is installed. But when I scroll through the applications menu, it's not there. I thought it was at first. I had to do a factory reset and erased internal storage as well. does doing this erase preloaded apps? And the phone is new. Never rooted..I'm sure being the latest and greatest phone out there it should play a .mov file attachment from an iPhone. Thanks for the help

flash player won't play .mov files, because, well, they aren't flash files

You must enable flash player from drop down menu of browser. Just tick it. To play the video, try mx player free from market.
I had the same issue with my girlfriends iphone. I just used Vidcon from the market to convert the video to a better format. Conversion is so fast on the HOX.
Could always use an alternative video player. MX player or even BSPlayer lite.
Either way will work. I usually convert them because I like to lol

Sorry. I'm new to android.. is this normal for a phone like this not to have a proper app for movie files? I will definitely check out a few apps to download. Thanks.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
For the same reason you cant play some files on your Windows Media Player PC.
If our phones could do everything right out from the box, we wouldnt need the Market (Play), right ?
If you cant do something, just download a app.

It does have a proper app for playing movie files. The fact apple use their own format instead of a default .mp4/.avi or any other standard format isnt androids fault. Use MXplayer as above or google 'videolan android xda' and that will play everything.
Thanks guys for all the help. Downloaded mx player. Works great. U love that's site

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.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
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...)

HI,
I shifted to note 2 a month back and noticed this issue. On my atrix 2 whenever i buffered a video (say from IMDB) it used to play in mx player. But in GN2 that is on jelly bean it starts up in some some crappy player imbedded in the website i think. Even the imdb app plays the videos in some absurd player. Videos from the facebook app somehow go to MX player.
So the question is: Is there any way to make the mx player play these videos. The other players lack gesture controls and thats a must for me.
I have already tried clearing the data of the default player but it didn't help at all.
Yeah go to app manager and select video player. Then click clear defaults. Now try to play video.
this is XXXDDDAAA

Yah I found a version that has that and doesn't have the stupid autoplay of videos. Delete the Facebook you have installed now and install the one in the link. Make sure you turn off auto update after though.
