serpentracer Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 fwi, phones can't play flash video's. so they don't play outside your youtube app on a phone. and you can only see SOME videos on you're youtube app. I've come across plenty of videos that say they can't be viewed on a phone on youtube.

serpentracer Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 ^ most android phones DO play flashfrom what I've seen they only play flash videos in the youtube app.so in a website they cannot play the flash video from youtube etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 *shrug* mine plays flash, and its not even one of the fancy fast droids, its the tough phone droid (my droid x played flash the same also - so im assuming the newer droids do too)i can play flash video right from the internet page - no opening an app or anything....the video shows up blank with a play button on it, i hit the button and it plays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWing'R Posted November 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 swingr - try using opera browser or something...find one that is flash compatible, or remove and reinstall flash and try stock browser againI downloaded and installed opera, same problem It must be something unique to the vbulletin forum software?? It works just fine with embeded videos thru the FB app or FB thru the web browser. Works fine going straight to youtube also using the browser.

It's an issue with your Flash plugin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cdubyah Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Nope, no problem here. Thunderbolt Phone probably isn't flash capable. If it was, you would see a black box with a green arrow. Once you tap that arrow, video will load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serpentracer Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 I found a hack trick for my phone that installs flash player on android 2.1 phones. some work some don't. not a huge deal to me anyway. when I touch the video it usually opens up the youtube app and I watch the video that way.but flash animations now work.

Carwhore Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 don't click the middle where the video is played, click the title and it should pull that video up on youtube directly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWing'R Posted November 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 don't click the middle where the video is played, click the title and it should pull that video up on youtube directlyTried that, I think it does nothing when you do that.
