HTC Desire Flash not work properly

I'm pretty sure I wasn't imagining things but I successfully went on megavideo and watched an episode of the scrubs (=P) but now when I try it says this type of flash is not supported :S and on Youtube it used to load videos fullscreen when I pressed play but now it says Go Upgrade...
Is this due to a new firmware update? I heard a new one was released but I never went through any installing process.
I'd like my megavideo and Youtube back! =O Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I've noticed video on the BBC website isn't working now either which it was working fine before.....

same thing here, youtube videos says, go upgrade....

The desire runs flash lite version 4. YouTube, iPlayer and most other flash apps run on the full version of flash, 10.1. Some things in 10.1 won't be backward compatible with Flash lite 4, so won't display correctly, or even run atall. When Android gets flash support officially it will run 10.1 but for now,you will have to do with the app variants.

ah but why could I view them before?

I know that iPlayer won't work and never has, but the other videos for example clips on the BBC News site always worked fine and now they dont.

I think they might have updated their application, and perhaps increased the minimal version number needed. That would explain why you get that message now.

I've been getting this too, been trying to load videos from various sources, as flash seemed to work in Farmville on facebook (I almost died when I saw it loaded up), and now nothing, the only ones that work for me are youtube videos, which I believe are handled through the HTC Streaming app. All other flash files on sites just give me the yellow '!' triangle, not a pretty sight at all.

I've also had this problem.

BBC website works fine on my Desire, as does playing a full flash movie. Try this:

Just watched that full screen with no issues over 3G

UStream.tv doesn't though - get a triangle

Android Youtube App VS Ipod Touch Youtube App

why is the android app for youtube so incredibly bad?

Whats the difference (I haven't tried the iphone youtube app).

used both before, and I dont see much of a big difference in both? Reasons for saying so?

When you go to a different point in a video using an iphone or an ipod touch the video doesn't take anywhere near as long to load. Also when the video is fully loaded if you go to a different point in the video it loads straight away.
However, with the android youtube app if you go to a different point in the video it doesn't load straight away even though the vid has fully loaded.
That's my major gripe. Also the seek bar on the android youtube app isn't as accurate.

Seems perfectly fast for me... less than 2 secs if it needs to buffer, and less than a sec if its already buffered.

there are Lots of Android YouTube Apps, which one are you talking about?
Link it here

He is probably referring to the pre-installed youtube app... which works perfectly fine for my SGS.. not slow as the TS says..

the preinstalled one is very poor, the actually website is better than the app/

But the video will still be played by the app. Right?

...my one´s also working like a charm. Maybe it depends directly to your network. Even WiFi or HSDPA working fast and smooth, w/o any problems.

[APP] XBMC apk (Mediacenter App)

I Upload for you the XBMC Mediacenter Leak

Thanks

Well, it's not really a leak since the source is available - the XBMC guys have chosen not to make an APK available yet because it's not complete (lack of hardware accelerated video playback comes to mind). Anyway, the APK is from here: https://www.miniand.com/forums/forums/1/topics/136. It may be worth looking there from time to time as they say they plan to keep the APK updated.

Interesting. Wonder if the skins work like the linux version

So far iv only used 3 skins, 2 work perfect and the 3rd also works but there are some menus you cant assess like when you press left arrow on remote/keys.
Its not playing my MP3 over WIFI but it plays Videos in MKV and other file formats with sound but low FPS,
Movies,Pictures and most other things work fine when played from the SDcard/stick
UI is very small but usable.
Looks very promising

Im finding the menu issue is present with my favourite skin... Neon. Although I can get the sideways ones to pop out sometimes. I eventually managed to get the movies into slide view.... After lots of swiping and button pressing. I still dont know what made it pop out. Havent managed to get the to pop up when the view menu is at the bottom though so I cant get out of slide view.

All my mkvs etc play awesome straight from my network drive smooth as hell looking great

Crashes
Anybody else tried playing with this?
I had an old version that ran, but after downloading the nightlies lately, non of them run, they crash with an error that they can not load libxbmc.so, I checked the app libs folder and it is present and non-zero but it still doesn't load.
Anyone have any idea why?
My GS3 is stock, rooted 4.0.4 (BLG8).

Flash/video player orientation

I don't know if it bothers anyone else but who came up with the idea of having charging port on the side?
It makes virtually impossible to watch videos fullscreen while the phone is plugged as usually I need to lean it against something and watch with other people. I could just turn the phone around to have the port on the top but the fullscreen videos doesn't turn around as full screen always flip to the right.
Never had problems with my Desire HD as it has charging port at the bottom which is the best place I think as you can turn the phone around with no problems ;p
Is there any way to turn around flash videos?

I just turn it to the left so that the power is at the top, I'm on a custom rom

Yeah it works with YouTube designated app as it rotates every way, but it doesn't rotate for anything else, like when I'm trying to watch the Olympics of BBC website or any other streaming video from different websites.

I use tv catchup it rotates both ways http://static.tvcatchup.com/android/TVC_0_40.apk
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

flash only allows one way rotation (to one horizontal side not the other) however if you just zoom the webpage so the video fits into it perfectly, then the internet browsers rotational controls will come into play, and should let you rotate all ways.
theres also some apps on market that will allow you to force orientation as well

I've just got this phone today and found this problem irritating as hell as soon as I plugged it in at home, but I've found an app on the market which solves this issue called "Ultimate Rotation Control" by "FaMe IT" (sorry can't post the link as I'm a new user) it's only a 7 day trial version and full version costs £1.69 but it's better than nothing. If anyone has a free alternative please let me know!

Nexus 7 crashes and Ghost clicks

My Nexus 7 keeps locking up whenever I try to play video through YouTube. I can start the Netflix app or mX Video Player because they failed to load. I also get a lot of Ghost clicks that will register a quick that is the far corner of the screen depending on where I tab down on screen.I have a video detailing the crash that I get after I start watching a video on YouTube that I will post to YouTube with my phone. its going to take me awhile to get the video loaded onto YouTube it soon as its done I will post it on this thread.
I would also like to add that I are currently have the latest updates on my Nexus 7 and I'm not rooted or running a custom ROM. I appreciate any and all help that I can get in trying to fix these issues.
Update: the problem persists in safe mode, I've also got a picture here of what the screen looks like before crash.

Mine is doing exactly that whenever I launch Camera, Youtube, Google Earth and Shadowgun. The weird strip is not that visible though, mine is just a green strip, but the tablet freezes and reboots. Really frustrating since I live in Brazil and there's no Nexus 7 support here...

Still looking but haven't found and possible sources of the issue. Seems to be something with 4.3 and video playing apps.

I really hope this is just a software issue...

Are you on build JSS15Q? There were tweaks not only to the touchscreen but also others, it may fix your issues. Check in "About tablet" for an update or adb sideload the OTA if you're impatient.
