Flash Video Not Working - Nexus S General

My mates Galaxy S plays the live video stream off this website www.koollondon.com
The Nexus S plays the audio but with a green box where the video should be.
I have downloaded the latest version of flash (10.1)
Anyone got any ideas, could this be a Gingerbread problem?

my nexus plays it fine both on Dolphin HD and the stock browser...

Thank you for testing that for me. How odd, all I get is a green box. The audio plays fine tho.
Any ideas what could be wrong?

Just to add i'm using T-mobile in the UK. I haven't tried it over Wifi.
Did you test with Wifi?

Yep, works fine on my Samsung.
How do you even check which version of Flash your phone is running anyway?

How can it be user error? You open the webpage and the video automatically plays?

Could it be that i've done the Gingerbread update? I'm running 2.3.1

What version of flash are you running? I thought Gingerbread came with flash but when i visited a flash website it failed to open and pointed me to download Flash 10.1

I'm on 2.3 and it's giving me the greenscreen too. It also does this when I watch hulu and a commercial plays. The commercial will be green, but the video will display fine.

Did you have to download Flash and if so what version are you running?

I just checked my phone, which is 2.3.1. And I don't have flash installed. I could have sworn I did before the 2.3.1 update. So maybe it removes it?
Possibly because people complained about browser lag caused by flash not being optimized or something like that?

So if you install Flash (it points you to 10.1) and try opening www.koollondon.com does the live studio video play or do you just get the audio?

I just installed flash 10.1 from the market, and went to that page. it plays the audio, but the video is just a green square. I dunno how it was prior to 2.3.1, since I never visited that site before.

I have the hex edited version of Flash from the Nexus 1 threads that allows it to work with hulu and other sites that have mobile devices blocked from viewing videos. Also I live in the states if that makes any difference.

HTC Flash Player

Hey guys, I just noticed something when going through all my installed apps- The Evo comes with HTC Flash Player preinstalled on 2.1... And it works! Flash support out of the box. Was I the only one that was totally in the dark about this?
How do you get it working?
It just.. works. Browse to a site with flash content, and it should load.
Newgrounds works especially well.
cross my fingers for HULU!!!!!!!

Yeah HTC Sense comes with Flash lite. That's the problem though. It sucks lol. Oh and anyone who wanted Hulu once FroYo is released, bad news. Hulu blocked the user agent string fix so FroYo users can't get Hulu anymore.

not true. there is a modified flash apk in the nexus forums. it works on hulu.
Has the FB video playing issue been fixed yet?

Evo + Froyo + Flash = ESPN3 = World Cup EVERYWHERE :)

Currently watching World Cup games through ESPN3.com on my Evo ...... SOOOOOOOO NICE.
Quality is much better than Sprint TV
You get to replay all the games and watch live ones
Full DVR controls with markers for each important part in the game
BTW, if Apple is still waiting for an example of Flash running well on a phone this is it.
have you tried other site
can you watch videos on fancast, online movie sites, or clicker,tv? what about dvix online videos?
Needs Froyo right? Just tried on Eclair and no go
damnn when are we going to be able to install froyo?
you can right now, there are two builds in the dev section, but niether are fully functioning
Can't you just install the flash plugin? I can watch several flash sites on my phone with 2.1
yeah i read somehting about the camera not working in one of them is there any clue when the official update will be?

Can you list a couple of those sites that you can watch? I tried Hulu.com and they don't support the Android platform and I went to Adobe for the plugin and they only support Nexus One on Google.
Too bad my ISP is not amongst ESPN3's affiliates, and besides, Nigeria lost to Greece this morning, so i'm in a foul mood already anyway !!!

You can actually watch it on univision.com using Skyfire from the market. No need for flash or froyo and the image quality is spectacular, even on 3G. It's in spanish, but who cares.

I installed this earlier today. I have seen some sites that I could not view, work after installing it. Maybe is placebo. Go to gohastings.com and tell me if you can view their webpage. This is one flash site that i know didn't work, and does now. Maybe is does work and there was just an error.
I did just try hulu and it does not work, some of the video's on justin.tv do.
ESPN3 does not

[Q] MEGAVIDEO problem in Samsung Epic 4g with flash 10.1 for android 2.1

Does anyone know why i can't watch videos from megavideo with this or any other ROM?
I already installed flash 10.1 for android 2.1 and i can look youtube videos (like a desktop), but not from megavideo. It shows me another page
You probably need the version of flash in 2.2

there is only partial Flash 10 support in Android 2.1. So until we get FroYo, that's what we got.
Skyfire doesn't work. So we have to wait. Thanks all of you.
Moved to general as not development.
Please see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8475563&postcount=2 for guidelines on posting in development.
I feel your pain. I've tried and tried. Just have to wait for 2.2.

Skyfire DOES work. I haven't tried megavideo exactly, but other sites it works perfect. You gotta do some setting changes on your phone.. it was posted 4 weeks ago. Though it's not as good as having 2.2 flash..

Your the one responsible for that Android Browser Hax eh?
since this is a Megavideo thread, may i suggest this application? it lets you download and stream any megavideo video, without flash player and without browser!

Flash 10.2 arrives on March 18th

According to an article on Engadget, Adobe is releasing their 10.2 version of FlashPlayer for Android. From what I can tell when reading the press release Adobe will release Flashplayer for Xoom (Honeycomb) and also for Android 2.2 and 2.3.
Perhaps we can use this FlashPlayer as well.
Also this version of FlashPlayer should use multiple cores and work very well with devices such as the Xoom and LG Optimus 2x (which both have Tegra).
Fingers crossed...

Thanks! This is really a very good news! Keep my fingers crossed as well ^_^
According to this article it already leaked (Dutch): http://tweakers.net/nieuws/73180/flash-102-voor-android-lekt-vroegtijdig-uit.html
They don't mention where you can get it...
Also according to this article, It has hw acceleration for h.264 in honeycomb devices only, but it should have improvmenets for android 2.2/2.3 devices...
If you find it, flash it. It works very well. I found a link via Androidpolice
I ofund mine on droid-life, it won't play 720p youtube video's smooth anymore.......
here it is

Facebook flash games does somehow startup better, but the controls in the games seems very wrong or simply not compatible..
but it works and video playback here on danish dr1 seems better now, although quality still is rather pooer, but sync seems ok now..
and yes,
looking at the binaries it seems that adobe has developed alot more for honeycomb than 2.2/2.3, library is alot bigger.
Did anybody got flash working in the cyanogen7 port for folio100??

nvidia did not develop all codec for flash support, and thats what is needed. so its assumed to fail on some sites as not all codec's like on a windows, exists here. so except it to fail.
