I always see alot of back and forth on the topic of flash lite in sense based roms and getting flash 10.1 to work in froyo roms but my question is when you use an app like the nfl mobile app it is streaming the actual NFL network to your phone - isnt that flash video that is being streamed?
Just seems like there are apps that use some sort of different video protocol.
Can anyone explain the difference between a true flash video and streaming video on youtube?
Thanks in advance for taking the time to elaborate.

I love the new justin.tv app for watching ESPN, CNN, BBC, etc. Also tv shows stream is the bomb. THe only thing that bothers me is the video stuttering that happens with flash video on any app/browser. The audio always comes through wonderfully, but the video is jerky. I've tried a couple different flash versions, including the market one, but all give me the same results.
Is the same experience everyone else is having? Any have any fixes? I'm running the latest .6.8 froyo on emmc.

Yes. My assumption, although I haven't tried this recently, is that it will require the Flash fix (hack) used to get Hulu and Fancast videos streaming to the gtab. The source is probably setup to stream to the desktop version of the Flash player vs. the Android version. The hack fakes it out by making it think it is streaming to a desktop version of the Flash player.
If I get a chance this evening, I'll give it a whirl to test out this theory.
that sounds like it might work but if i remember correctly yahoo news video used to work a month ago
I just watched multiple videos on the Yahoo website after I instaled the libflashplayer.so hack used for the hulu fix. All the videos played fine with the fix.
Is anyone currently able to watch Hulu either on the website or through the Hulu Plus app?
If so, what Rom are you using and what version of Flash?
I can get to the website and start the video but so far after it plays the first commercial the video will stop, the audio will play but the video freezes
OR
It will play until it gets to a commercial, it will play the commercial and ten never resume playing
OR
it wont even make it past the first commercial, it will play the ad but will then stop playing and get stuck on a black image...
Ive tried CM7, Flashback, Vegantab Ginger Edition (couple different versions) as well as multiple versions of Flash...
Having the same issues. 1.1bl, Vegan Ginger 7.1, Vgeezyflash.API 11.0
Having issues too.
Using the Flashback 10.0 alpha (Honeycomb 3.1) rom and can't get hulu or most flash items to load right/
If I click around and end up hitting play I'll get sound on hulu, but that's all.
I think it has something to do with later flash versions using Hardware Acceleration and the gtab not supporting it or something.
I've tried the stock browser, Dolphin for Pad, Dolphin HD and Opera Mobile/mini all with the user agents set to Desktop.
I've tried flash from these locations:

I always get the same result.
The websites I use to test are, newgrounds, hulu and a google search for "fart soundboard".
On Hulu I only get sound, on newgrounds flash items are just a blank spot and the fart soundboard will make noise if i click on it but I can't see any of the buttons I'm pressing.
I've read other posts of people saying the have got hulu to work but they fail to mention where the got the flash apk.
Get the PlayOn Mobile app and stream it as well as many others right from your pc to anywhere your connected to wifi, been using it awhile now and until we can stream directly from the site, this is a GREAT alternative

Thanks for the tip!
Update:
Using Opera Mobile 11.1 (with the user agent set to "desktop" in its settings, from this post and the latest version of Flash Player 11 from the Android Market get's flash based websites like newgrounds.com and my flash based eTextbooks to work correctly! So that's a decent enough work-around for my issues.
Hulu.com works better than with any other browser but still won't actually play videos.
Hey guys.. I don't know what's going on but I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm currently running WTSB 1.9 on my 3vo with a stock kernel and my netflix app just so that work well anymore. I used to have basically perfect video and sound on it.. Now the video is slowed down to what appears to be about half its regular speed but the audio just keeps on going at regular speed making it very unwatchable. This happens on 4g or WiFi.. Both of which used to give perfect results. Could it be the rom since I updated recently? Something else? Videos saved on my sd in HD still play perfectly so I know it's decoding right. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
I don't know if the rom is at fault or not, My netflix works just fine, I am using Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.08.651.3_deodex from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321452 I have tried many roms always end up going back to stock, thanks to this thread it's easier to go back to stock and not have to restore my data either.
Only way you will know if it's the rom or not is to try another rom, then test netflix, if netflix works then it was the rom.
I catn seem to view video on my Gtablet. I am running Bottle of smoke and have flash instatlled. should I put something on my ssettings? Does anyone n eed more info. I can only view you tube but nothing on facebook or nothing sent to me via email. Really want to see an email sent and I have to pull up my email on my phone or laptop. This kill the reason for having my tablet if I have to keep going back to my phone and laptop. PLEASE HELP> Will try anytthing but I need some advise.
BOS doesn't support flash in the stock browser (there is a workaround in the BOX OP over at slatedroid). For full flash support you could check out Flasback (honeycomb) or one of the many popular Froyo/Gingerbread based Roms.
I'm not very knowledgeable about the ROMs. I bought this tablet used and it already had BOS enstalled.
Is there anywhere I can find step by step instructions on how to change the ROM in order to get all my video access. Please advise. I am not real familiar but eager to learn.
Mobo Player in Market
From your post it is unclear to me if you're having issues watching Flash videos or with video files in general. If you are having trouble watching videos then I would suggest you download this free video app from the Market and the free codec pack and you should be able to watch any video on your gTab.
MoboPlayer
Codec for ARMV7VFP3
This site has the tutorials you'll need to change roms. http://viewsonic-gtablet-for-dummies.webs.com/
For the best video performance go with something froyo based.
