Since doing the upgrade to the new 2.1.2, i can no longer view flash heavy sites like IGN.com. When i try to watch a video review, the video will play for a while, then the browser closes out on its on. Its not a memory issues as i always have 110mb free before launching my browsers, and i have tried both the market version of flash and the droid X version. This same situation happens with every browser that i have tried so far. This has never happened with the previous firmware upgrade. Anyone else experiencing this issue??
Yes I get the same with my A70. Firmware 2.1.2, stock browser and droid x flash.
Mobile or full site? Just getting to the page or actually trying to view a video?

Yup, just went over to ign and tried watching a video review, after the commercial of dr. Pepper which played stuttery, it tried to load the video review and then force closed the browser.
And I'm using Droid X version.
Did you let Archos know? They will work on bugs, but only if they know of them.
My 70 is doing this before and after the update. Most frustrating.
Please guys update to2.1.3 actually works very good with flash! And i was just on ign.com and watched a vid very smooth.
I actually have default browser jumping out to desktop even with the old 2.0.71, this happens whenever there is heavy flash video content. The flash either caused the browser to jump out to desktop or it'll just display a "!" sign after playing the video for a while. I think both are a sign of out of memory.
i have this exact same problem, have no idea why
Update to 2.1.3 [as newfierideout said] it is worth it, And will probably solve all your problems.

Yes, I had the same problems with 2.1.2 and since 2.1.3, I can look Flash videos. But one time, the browser closed, too.

Updated to 2.1.3 same problem, browser force close trying to watch ign.com videos, it sees the ad video before tho
Edit: weirdest thing, i overclocked to 1200 and installed auto memory manager, set that to aggressive, and ign video review played, stuttering a bit seldomly with the speaker cracking sound. Then i tried a second ign video and the device crashed.

Same situation... agfer upgrading to 2.03 all works smooth with standard browser and Flash.
Some problem with Dolphin and flash... sometimes it closes.... but ... only sometimes...
I uninstalled the Droid version of flash and installed the one from the market, now I can watch ign videos! But it pauses/jerks sometimes lol don't know why.
I had trouble finding it in the market, even with the market fix, which I did many times.
Found this solution in archosfans:

In the applications tab, go to Market > uninstall updates > clear data. Open the market, you'll get the old version, after a few minutes Market will be updated. You should see Flash after the update.

I upgraded to 2.1.4 today and still get the odd web browser shut down when playing flash.
I think its more an issue of the flash not being the right one. Archos still hasnt released its verison of 10.1.
Meantime what versions are you guys using?

I just searched for flash,
Did u try the market fix if that didnt work? What about the other fix i posted above?
For some reason I couldn't find it in the market either.. I have tried to reapply the market fix several times, but still no go. I found the apk on another site. I have attached. This one really seams to work very well.

Thank ou so much. Very much appreciated.
I have tried the Market fix and according to the youtube video I can find all the hidden apps. Not this one though.
Im gonna give this one a go now.
Thanks again.
Now here's a weird problem I could really use some help with. For whatever reason, most flash videos won't play on my unit. The random site, like NHL will work but YouTube and Blip either don't load, or play for a split second and then stop. Pluggins are enabled, I've updated flash, and I've even done a factory reset to no avail. I've also tried using other browsers like Dolphin and Opera which also don't work. Skyfire is the only one that works but it plays the videos terribly.
Here are some videos I made for your reference that demonstrate the problem.

is this with the stock browser? stock browser usually plays all flash. opera mobile needs updating for the prime as only sound comes out unless you can somehow press the expand button on the video. that works with YouTube in opera.
have you went to the marketplace to make sure you have the latest version of adobe flashplayer?
cam4, tube8, pornhub ... yep mine all works great

Yep. Both of those videos were taken with stock browser. And yea, flash is fully updated.
Weird huh? One would think its a software issue, since video play perfectly with dedicated applications. But for whatever reason, they just refuse to play in the browser
Defective unit?
youtube and all other flash sites I have seen have worked for me but I did try that blip.tv and it didn't work on stock or dolphin browser for whatever reason
I had the exact same problem until someone kindly reminded me to make sure I had adobe flash installed/updated. I just assumed it was I guess. I don't know. Excitement and being lost in the world of checking out a new toy can bring out the the dunce cap in the best of us. Speaking of me of course, this may not be your problem.

Quite odd.....
Most are able to play all flash videos without a problem while some of us, like you and me, are having problems with some videos.
What could it be?
So I tried uninstalling adobe flash with inentions of reinstalling it but noticed it simply say's "update" when I uninstall instead of "install". So after uninstalling I tried other flash sites that worked before and they still worked despite uninstalling flash (seems to only uninstall an update and not the whole thing?). blip.tv still did not work.
reinstalled flash after and still no go.
Not sure whats up with these sites. They have the same video player look though so something to do with the player they are using? I also notice that in dolphin, where I normally get a green arrow that I need to press first to enable flash on a site, doesn't show it for this video player they use.

Do you get the same screen that I get when I try to view these videos? Meaning the gray screen with the little cinema sign in the middle?
As mentioned though the super confusing part is that most people are having no issues playing these videos.....

Yah I get the same screen.
Well I am curious if they tried the blip.tv specifically and had it work or just mentioned that it works because all other flash sites they have tried work.

hmmmmmm very weird then. And youtube doesn't work for you as well eh? Are you going to the mobile version or full?
Havent tried the full version yet, just the default youtube page. Sometimes it works though on youtube, however i cant control the player at all.
Well I have no idea at all whats going on. My youtube does work fine though which makes it pretty odd. Although I just noticed that when a video finishes on youtube it shows that cinema icon on top of the usual youtube play icon... Still works though

Exactly the same as me. It almost seems like two different codecs are conflicting?....
maybe a rooted device with blocked ads (adfree/ad-away)? this can mess up things, too...
I have 100% the same issue as the thread starter. It is a NON-rooted unit and I am afraid that the only fix would be to actually root it and uninstall completely and re-install but with the ICS update coming in 6 days I think I will just wait.
No flash issues here at all.
Hi, after upgrading to ICS everything is working much better, except for the youtube app. Pretty much every time i click on a link it says "unfortunately, Youtube has stopped" especially when you use the search function...
Is this happening to anyone else, or can you offer a solution?
I've rebooted, cleared data etc....
Any ideas?
Mine does the same thing.

Yup had this too. Not with all of them though. Some it shows some it doesn't.
Settings, Apps, ALL, YouTube... then force stop, and clear data! Mine was doing that until I cleared the app data and now it works fine!
If you're rooted, you can just use Titanium Backup and "WIPE DATA" on the YouTube app!
mine works fine without clearing any data
nup, mine still likes to troll me ...
mine seems to still be working fine. everything loads up alot faster.
YouTube does that on my phone running ICS too. It is an issue with ics and not the tablet.

Did a Force Stop/Clear Data, and so far so good, but I was only seeing "You Tube Stopped Working intermittently, so I cannot verify this as a valid fix until I test it some more. Seems promising, as quite a few app issues get fixed this way after updates. Sure beats the early TF101 days when you needed to jump though all kinds of hoops to fix YouTube and NetFlix
THe crashing happens only for HD videos , for other videos it works fine for me .
Even clearing data doesn't help with HD videos.
Even the glowball app crashes as soon as i open , this used to work fine with honeycomb.

Hi there,
I am facing the same issue as yours from today evening. I am however facing it on the Galaxy Nexus running ICS 4.0.2. The YouTube app is constantly crashing, regardless of whether I play videos via the widget or via the actual app. I am also unable to see my videos from subscribed channels in the widget or the actual app. Only videos from Most Discussed or Recommended are being displayed.
The app was working fine until last evening and I have force stopped, cleared the cache and all saved data + restarted phone several times. No effect. It does not matter whether I am on 3G or WiFi.
Any suggestions?

Yeah, like for me. worked fine yesterday. Have no problem with the stability, just the sync don't work
And just now it's started to worked little. can now see my subscribe channels if I go under account.
on the start, main screen most discussed and recommend are showing. here is used to see the newest from my subscribe channels
Start to think that Google are doing maintenance or upgrade and there for its not working as it should.
Have we been able to watch live video with the app before???. and movie categories?? all this under the search button

Whats up people Iam loving my Prime now rooted with Vipermod. I started using the youtube app today and noticed non of the problems posted here but did see that when I scrolled the mouse across the screen it flickered at the top and that when I stream with bluetooth it takes while for it to load and keeps on reloading the video after a couple of seconds even if the video has loaded already. The second I take off bluetooth device video streams fine in HD with no reloading. Wanted to see if anyone else can test this out as well.
Yeah, mine started working again... i played with the HD settings and turned it on and off before it crashed.. and now its working. Hmmm

Are you talking about the Youtube app Hd settings and that when your turned off Hd the it would not have a problem streaming youtube. Dont think you were referring to my post but wanted to ask.
i just turned off hd in the bottom left corner of the video before it could load... then watched it for a bit... then turned it back on and it all started to work again, in both standard def and HD. I have no idea why it worked, but it seemed to
this, unfortunately, does not fix my problem. Ironic enough, everything else for this tablet WORKS so far.
Also, not sure if it's truly fact that ICS is not supported, or ASUS messed up somewhere... Either ways, here's the problem: (click the screenshot provided)
It clearly says on my other devices Youtube is already installed. However I went to Market on my TFP, and it won't show up. I go on site and the screenshot is what I get.
So, who exactly is at fault? Google or Asus?
Also, I had this bug since first ICS rollout.
I rooted my Nook a couple weeks ago, but I did not debloat. However, when a notification to update Netflix came up, I think I did the update. Now, the sound is not quite in sync with the picture. Is there a way to tell if I am using the "special" Netflix that came loaded on the NT or if I am using the standard Android Market downloaded app? I'm truthfully not sure that the out-of-sync issue started after this update, but I know it was not there prior when I originally got the NT and watched a couple of videos prior to rooting.
Edit:
Oh, and I did the update while at the GoLauncher home, not the NT home (if that matters). Also, the Amazon viewer does not have this issue at all and works great (after doing the temporary unroot thingy).
I am using the stock Nook app (i.e. not from the android market) and I noticed an out of sync video the other day. I don't know if it has anything to do with the app though. Haven't really looked into it otherwise.
I was watching Netflix on my computer last night and it was all out of sync, I wonder if it is a Netflix issue and not a NT issue?
Watched a show on my computer at lunch and watching a show on my TV thru the Roku right now and both synced perfectly.
I've noticed some shows and videos (sometimes) are like this, try another movie, could be just a temporary problem since netflix is working well on my nt.
This is a problem that I've run into on all of my streaming devices with Netflix. If you go into your account (on the Netflix website) and look at your recently watched list, you can report Audio/Video sync issues.
I've got to believe it's an app (or app plus device) issue since the same movie streams fine on my computer and Roku. Checked my wifi on the NT with Speedtest and I got 16 mb/s download speed, so I doubt that is any problem either.
Does anyone know if it's even possible to update over the "stock" NT Netflix app?

I read that if you leave the actual app in it's original install location and create a symbolic link in system/apps, then you're good to go on updates.

I haven't heard that, but it makes sense. However Netflix is installed to /system/app by default (by B&N), so you'd have to move it out if you wanted updates.

So it sounds like I still have the stock app. Has anyone else had problems with the audio being slightly out of sync.
On my NT it goes out of sync for the first 30 secs maybe then usually catches up.

I am on rooted stock 1.4.0 and the Market is suddenly showing a Netflix update for me.
Very strange. I'd prefer to keep the stcok version.
Just watched 30 minutes of Airplane on the new Netflix app, works great! Im 999 rooted, not Cm7 presently.
I'm also getting an update message from the stock netflix app. Anyone know if i should upgrade? It won't replace the stock version with the market version or anything, will it?

I wish I knew. For now, I'm not going to. I have unchecked the auto update option and that seems to have prevented it so far. Just have to make sure I don't accidentally hit it when I have other updates to process.
Unrooted new nook and audio vidio sync
My new nook which I have yet to operate on has had a/v sync issues with some movies from Netflix. So I suspect it is them, not the NT.
One other thing I have noticed is frequent pauses for buffering, like every five minutes. It is running through our home WiFi (which I use through the TV with a Wii, which will pause for uploading maybe two to four times during the movie.) Do others have this? Is there any remedy for this, or will an SD card help?
every time i reboot my nook, it says there's an update for netflix in the market. no matter if i update or not it always goes back to the stock app. i have the same problem with pandora and hulu plus only i have two copies of pandora and hulu plus has been uninstalled more times than i can remember. any fixes?
I am pretty sure stock version comes in 1080p as where the market is not, however Im not completely sure just use titanium to make a back of the original and then freeze it, install the market version and check out the difference your self, if you find it to not to work out as well uninstall and restore the version that came with your nook.

Hey guys,
I'm using the weekly posted in the subject line, and YouTube doesn't work as expected. Does anyone know of a fix?
Does the new 7.2 RC1 support it?
I can confirm it works flawlessly at the new 7.2 RC1, which by far, is one of the best and more complete roms ever tried. Specially battery life is just amazing.
Hope to help!
Awesome, looks like it's time to update.
Thanks!
So I updated to RC1, currently on faux's kernel.
YouTube still doesn't work, I tried clearing data too.

I was having a problem with it also on rc1. Videos wouldn't play, clicking links just gave me the loading circle. I forced closed, cleared cache, cleared data and uninstalled. Went to play store and reinstalled, and now it works flawlessly. Maybe the same steps will help you.

I just get the message saying "There was a problem while playing. Touch to retry."
It doesn't show up when I turn HD off though.
I don't know if this helps, but I have my LCD Density set at 200. It's strange though, because when I first flashed RC0, YouTube worked fine. Then I believe there was an update, and it was downhill after that.

I haven't changed any LCD settings, so whatever is standard in rc1, that's what mines set at.
The LCD settings never seemed to affect it before, strange.
Ok some browsers e.g default and Dolphin use built in video player to stream youtube videos hence the circle (which is singe of loading) and usually youtube app dont kick in automatically when u open a youtube link (in opera it does kick in auto)
But on its own youtube app is working perfect (no problems what so ever)
My youtube app doesn't kick in at all for HD videos, but if I turn it off it works.
It sucks because I tend to watch everything in HD...
So opening a link from a browser works, but not the app itself. I see the kicking in concept now.
Anyone ever find a fix?
Everything works fine within dolphin browser, just not the app.
