I'm struggling to get anything to play from these websites. I know they rely on Flash and pretty much the stock browser is the only browser that can handle it.
But I have been unsuccessful at getting Comedy Central's The Daily Show website videos and CBS full episodes to play at all.
Any suggestions?
post links then ill try them out on stock browser, ICS+ browser, n boat browser to see if it works on mines

Try Dolphin HD from the market -- it can handle Flash as well. I know I got CBS.com to work at one point but I don't remember whether I was using stock or Dolphin. I'm at work so I can't test right now (firewall filters).
The only way I can view The Daily show on my Prime is through the Hulu+ app and even that requires a hack to get to work on the Prime.
How do the tablet world survive with such a lackluster of Flash support? Most sites I use rely heavily on Flash.
I just googled daily show, clicked full episodes in google result, watching full episode of daily show in stock browser right now, double click video to go full screen. I also just installed the newest update, the .14 one. I am in the US, 64 gb Amethyst grey.
I am also in power saving mode, this new update is doing wonders for me.
Edit: I also have my plugins set to on demand, so I get a white box with green arrow, I click it to start flash, works great for me.

I have everything set as you except for this and I have a 32GB Gray Prime.
and it's not working for me. Where do you to adjust the plugin settings to on demand, is that in the Stock browser settings?
Probably has ICS Browser +

Stock browser man, no + here. I can also use a program called stick it, which puts a small window anywhere on your screen thats sizable and movable and the video plays great.
Now at cbs.com when I click a video it asks what program I want to use to view the video. I use stick it so I can do other things while the video is playing in a small window in whatever I'm doing.
Now to make plugins on demand:
1) Launch stock browser, go to browser settings, go to advanced, go to enable browser plugins, click it, has 3 options, disable, on demand, and load I believe, make your choice and done.
Edit: Stick it
This program is really cool and works great.
Just updated to ICS .14 and testing this out on stock browser to provide my input but cbs.com goes to mobile version although some full episodes are in bits I can watch them.
If I go to setting and check off "Request desktop site" I get full site and can still watch full episodes.

Yes stock browser. When I updated to ICS .14 last night from HC .33 it asked me to download flash when I opened up the stock browser. I dont know if its newer than the flash update a week ago or so though.
Flash update was just the other day.

I had a similar problem when I just got my Prime. I cleared data and cache for adobe and the browser, and that seemed to have fixed it. You can also try downloading Adobe AIR as well but I don't think it actually does anything even though some people recommended it. Also I DO NOT recommend Opera or Stock browser when using flash videos, instead try ICS Browser+ or Dolphin HD.
hopes that help

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.

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?

Playing full flash content from browser other than skyfire.
Edit: Reverted back to original stock. I have called Samsung, and they have told me desktop browsing from the fascinate is not supported. Then they proceeded to tell me that Flash 10.3 is not supported by this phone. I was then instructed to revert back to 10.1. Now i have this whole chat saved, and would be willing to show it, but my anger got the best me. I look like a Giant D*CK. In all the trial and error i was able to do as a Fanny "noob", I have found out that No matter how hard i tried, with whatever browser i could download(other than skyfire), that you can not play full flash content from the original site. I have found that if you download the right hulu files, you can play most of the videos from typical t.v. sites.(example.. Fox.com, Nick.com, cartoon network...). I also found that you can play the full sites through skyfire. The videos were kinda grainy this way, and in a pinch it worked flawlessly. This phone has alot of nice features, but the guts of the internet experience were lackluster. It's weird where people make a line in the sand. This was mine. If you want to delete this entire thread, i would completely understand. If i am wrong about the flash content, sorry. I had a mod, and rescue squad member from another forum give it a go, and they couldn't either. Thanks to anyone who tried to help...

Hmmm...If you're on Evil Fascination, it's kind of odd. My suggestion? Try the "UKB"/Community ROM. See if those issues persist. I've never had above mentioned issues, yet I tried Evil Fascination and had so many issues, it just wasn't worth it to me. Try a different ROM, see what that does.

If you are in the latest version of Dolphin HD, in order to get Flash to play videos, when you are in the browser, hit the menu soft key, go=>more=>settings=>page content settings=>enable plug-ins and choose either on demand or always (I prefer always)
I am downloading com rom now, tried other suggestions with no luck. i can get hulu to play through the widget, just not other sites in my browser. This is possible right?
Have tried suggestions, no luck. Can anyone tell me if this is even possible?
I don't know why you are having so much trouble with this. As long as you are on a Froyo build, have Flash Player 10.3 downloaded from the market, and have plug-ins enabled in your browser, it should work. It's a mystery to me.
So after staying up almost all night to solve this problem I still have no palyback of full episodes from sites like fox.com, and nick.com. I have uninstalled, and installed flash 10.3 from the market, and 3different modded apks. I have downloaded opera mobile, miren, and dolphin hd. I have altered the user agent in opera, clicked all appropriate boxes, and chosen desktop in both miren, and dolphin. I have changed to comrom 2.0 from EF 3.6. I know this sounds like a completely noob, but have had success rooting, and modding lots of androids, but this fanny's video situation has me confused. I try to figure stuff like this out on my own, but like landshark says in a post or two back, it should just work. I have not changed my string on standard browser yet, but I am not sure how to do it. Can somebody please throw this dog a bone?
I hate bumping this, but my window to take this phone back is almost over. If i can't play full episodes from my browser, i don't think this phone is for me. I am going to revert back to stock, restore to factory settings, and try one more time. I have come across a couple news articles that say that the samsung fascinate can't do all flash based content. Is this the problem? Does anyone on the fanny get full episodes in the browser. I can even get to hulu through dolphin, and watch the full episodes there, just not on the original site. The original site acts like it is going to play then stalls, sometimes crashing whatever browser i am using. I thought flashlights crashing this phone was weak, but if it can't do as much as an overpowered e reader, then how was this ever a flagship phone?
I don't know how dead set you are on using a custom, however I am running a rooted 2.2 fascinate with Opera Mobile, and I can play video from the sites you want with no problem.

It's not videos that is the problem. It's watching full episodes of TV shows that OP wants to watch. Apparently to the phone there is a difference.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
Just FYI, using Skyfire doesn't mean your phone even supports flash. The way they do it is by transcoding the flash content to HTML5 and sending that to your phone, meaning you could watch flash videos even back on eclair.
jeremy check your PM at fascinateforums (if you haven't already). One of the members got fox.com working.

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.

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.

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.
hello everyone,
after looking for days I found Opera browser that works really smooth and has scroll to top and bottom buttons. But it's having problems with running flash content. the flash section of the page goes black. the videos play sound and see nothing does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Also Flash video is jerky in the official browser that came with honeycomb on htc view 4g does anyone have a fix for this?
thanks

Same problem here....
Sometimes if you double-tap the video (the black bit) it will go full screen and start working.
If you check the Opera website, the specifically say their browser does not fully support flash in HC and newer android versions at the moment (works great in 2.2, 2.3). I really like the speed and fluidness of Opera myself. I hope they get this resolved soon.
I experience all the same problems with opera. also the honeycomb bar button with the 4 lines doesn't pull up any options like it does in other apps. wondered if that was a bug.
The options are found in settings by pressing he big O on the left side.

thanks for that info tried to look on their website before posting didn't find anything. but what you're saying makes sense. hope they update it.soon. personally I think opera is the best browser for android.
I use Opera, too. If you click and hold the video it will usually play full screen in another window.
That said, I do hope that the Opera team get inline videos working again, as it's nice to have the desktop browser experience reproduced 100%.
SOLUTION!!!
I INSTALLED Flash 10.2 and flash is working fine on Opera now. opens flash content in streaming media player.
other browsers flash playback jerky any solutions? all versions 10.2 and latest.
YOOOHOOO THE LATEST OPERA UPDATE FIXES FLASH!!!!
At least it did for me.
Yep, Fixed my issues with flash as well on the HTC View and my Galaxy Nexus. Unfortunately, it did not fix it my Asus Prime. Matter of fact, completely removed the flash option on the ICS and prime.

I don't have this phone, still on the Note II, but you can try downloading it directly from Adobe (Flash Player Archives. Scroll down to the Android. Make sure you get the one for Android 4. I think it'll probably work.
Don't forget to use a flash player friendly browser such a Boat, Dolphin, or the crappy generic one (non Chrome) that Samsung throws in.

Yea, flashplayer for android was discontinued at 11.1 so we're stuck with what we've got. I concur with this recommendation for Dolphin browser and enable flash always on in the settings. Either way, don't expect it to work perfectly. For example, I can't get Amazon Prime videos to play no matter what flashplayer.apk I try or browser I use. It just doesn't work.

Yea, flashplayer for android was discontinued at 11.1 so we're stuck with what we've got. I concur with this recommendation for Dolphin browser and enable flash always on in the settings. Either way, don't expect it to work perfectly. For example, I can't get Amazon Prime videos to play no matter what flashplayer.apk I try or browser I use. It just doesn't work.

It's a bit of crap shoot on what sites will work and won't. What I find best, go into your browser settings, change how browser to act as desktop browser. You may need to change to something like IE, Firefox or so forth from Android (this defaults to mobile sites).
I don't recommond Flash always on. I suggest On-Demand if available. Some sites are very flash heavy and this will help load times and data usage. Plus, given how things can be, Flash isn't always stable on the mobile, so it helps with those.
I've run into odd issues such as Kompster. It overall fine for Sirius NFL through the webbrowser. It will work for Motogp video, but on the my tablet, but to mirror on a TV, I need to half screen first, then plug in the HDMI cable, otherwise it won't show the race and Flash Player crashes. NFL Game Pass service works for games, but the archived shows start and crap out after about thirty seconds. I find overall for sites that use it for navigation or downloading, it works fine.
As for browsers, I suggest Boat browser. I found if Dolphin is working, it works well with Flash Player. I couldn't get Dolphin to load on the Note 2. Also, there is some evidence that Dolphin stores browsing history; supposedly it to make web browsing faster. I also think Boat has a smaller footprint. Boat also has a tablet version that I've been able to able to download and load on the Note 2. Nice looking. It's in beta. I found that not everything works in that version as does the normal Boat browser.
