Pages: 1 | 2 | (show all) CarolG Pooh-Bah Reged: 10/16/06 Loc: Oklahoma Android Flash Player?       #5681677 - 02/15/13 02:35 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   I wanted to use my Nexus 7 android tablet to get on Night Skies Network and watch NASA TV, but neither work without Adobe Flash Player. Apparently, Adobe no longer offers an android flash player software. Is there another flash type software that would work on sites that require the Adobe player? Thanks!!

Don't feel lonesome. iOS devices dont' support Flash either... Post Extras:       Carl Kolchak Pooh-Bah Reged: 08/02/06 Loc: Northeast, Florida Re: Android Flash Player?

Here's one link but read about it before you install it. This is where I downloaded Flash for use with Firefox Beta. Works great! BTW, I love my Nexus 7. My Nexus updated to Android 4.2.2 yesterday. peace & clear skies Post Extras:       CarolG Pooh-Bah Reged: 10/16/06 Loc: Oklahoma Re: Android Flash Player?

Now I'm going to go download Flash onto my Nexus. I love my Nexus 7 too and take it everywhere. With its 3G+ connection, I can get online just about anywhere.

When I logged onto Night Skies Network, I was able to get the dialog box to appear, but the video part was blank.

[Re: CarolG]       #5685057 - 02/17/13 11:56 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Keep an eye out on the Play store.. there is "supposed" to be a version of the Skyfire Browser that supports Android 4.1 and up. Skyfire decodes flash content, compresses it then sends it to your device in a format that show on their browser, HTML5 I believe. There is a 3 day free trial of video conversion then you have to buy a premium key currently it's $4.99. They are currently saying it's not compatible with Andy 4.1 and up. http://goo.gl/mS23g edit: This seems to be working on my Galaxy S3 It's running Android 4.1.1.. see if you can get it on the Nexus.

I'll keep trying some other settings to see if that will help. I do know that FF Beta works with other Flash movies. peace & clear skies Post Extras:       Jon Isaacs Postmaster Reged: 06/16/04 Loc: San Diego and Boulevard, CA Re: Android Flash Player?

[Re: Jon Isaacs]       #5686886 - 02/18/13 12:10 PM Attachment (11 downloads) Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   CarolG, I'm able to play Flash videos on my Nexus 7 (on Android 4.1.2) with Firefox and the old v.11.1 Adobe Flash Player. I recently upgraded to Paranoid Android 3.00, which is based on Android 4.2.2 PA 3.00 has known graphic glitches, but I was still able to play one of the videos on nightskiesnetwork.com on my Nexus 7 with Firefox & Flash Player. Following screen capture has the PA 3.00 graphics glitch at the bottom, but I'm confident you should be able to get it working on your N7 running 4.2.2. Firefox and Flash Player 11.1 is a known working combination for playing Flash videos.

Jon, you are right about "if it ain't broke". I updated to jelly bean 4.2.2 and now some of my apps won't work with this update. Now I need to figure out how to go back to 4.2.1.

If you don't have a backup I suggest you start now (it's just like a PC you need to back it up). TWRP requires Root access.

Hi snorkler, I was able to get that front page video to play too. But if you try to view any other, sign in as a guest, and none of the videos work. I tried several videos and even signed up to see if that made a difference. No joy. peace & clear skies Post Extras:       CarolG Pooh-Bah Reged: 10/16/06 Loc: Oklahoma Re: Android Flash Player?

When I first got my Nexus, I backed up everything on it, but I do need to do a new backup before I try to restore the 4.2.1 OS. Richard, that's the problem I have. Once I sign in and pick an individual broadcast, I lose the video on that broadcast.

I always do a back before I install a new OS, and I always backup my current state before a restore unless the current system is hosed. I do that in case the backup is faulty for some reason.

If you don't mind trying another browser, you might see if those work with Flash on the Nexus. Post Extras:       CarolG Pooh-Bah Reged: 10/16/06 Loc: Oklahoma Re: Android Flash Player?

I didn't try Opera or Maxthon, but those are another couple of options you probably know about.

There is a warning under settings about Flash not being supported. It did not recognize my Flash installation at all. The Dolphin Video is mainly for Youtube and nothing else. Or I couldn't find how to make it work with NSN. Maybe it's time for NSN to offer another alternative? HTML5? If someone will double check Dolphin and flash to confirm my findings that would be great. peace & clear skies Post Extras:       CarolG Pooh-Bah Reged: 10/16/06 Loc: Oklahoma Re: Android Flash Player?

It's called Photon Browser and can be found, free of charge for the basic version with ads, at Google Play. I tried it out on Night Skies Network, and it actually works on my Nexus 7!!
