Unable to Stream Videos. - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, hopefully an easy one.
Have searched previous threads for advice but no luck.
Recently purchased Samsung Galaxy sIII, i9300. Network provider o2.
The phone is ROOTED and is running on Android 4.0.4.
My problem is that I am unable to stream videos on Facebook, iPlayer, ITVPlayer or TV Catchup. The videos load, and I can hear audio but there is no video. Also, the phone kind of locks up when I try to quit the app.
Youtube streaming is fine!
The problem occurs when connected to 3g and also when connected to WiFi.
Adobe Air is updated, can't find flash in play store, but I've downloaded SmartSWF instead but still nothing.
Was considering upgrading to JellyBean to see if this would resovle the problem but thought I would try here first.
Thoughts / advice please?
Much appreciated. S.

Try searching for adobe flash player for Jellybean.
You will find threads about it and there it will give the apk to download and install and it works perfectly fine.
Not completely sure why your device isnt finding adobe flash player.
But they stopped officially supporting android devices from 4.1 and above.

Yeah i know which is what i dont understand but using the Jellybean method of installing Adobe Flash ayer would at least be a work-a-round to fix his problem mate

There are thread about this on the Q&A sub section, follow the link on my sig please..
nobody is using dlna on SG3?
I'm a bit baffled about the AllShare element of the GS3. I was quite happy with the way it worked on the S2, but with the S3 I have to install something on my PC to access the files on it even though I have AllShare installed on it.
When I open the stock Gallery app, I'm able to see any pictures on my DLNA enabled PC. Maybe with the Video Player app you can do a similar thing? I'll check this when I get home from work...
I have DLNA sharing on Synology, where I can't instal any Samsung aplication.
Now I am solving it trhoug another player called BubbleUPnP, but I am still hoping, that this must be done through Samsung software...
Same here. The stock video player just keeps scanning when I access, my NAS. Every other app works fine.
...and the stock audio player is ok by you?

I can't get this to work either. My s iii shows up in windows media player and the computer shows up in nearby devices but in the phon's music player the "loading" notice keeps running forever.
I just tried using the video player and I found some videos, maybe the problem is that the 30+ gigs of music is jusslow to load. Has anyone else experienced something similar?
Edit: Iwent back after some time and the song listed! Unfortunately they were all in one alpha list, and tapping one would;'t play it. I think this is pretty much useless without organization so I'm going to try Allshare.

Do you have the old Allshare aplication, which was in SG2?

I tried the GSIII Allshare but it was awfully clunky to use.

HELP!!! Flash Player doesn't work

Hi everybody.
After installing the Omega ROM 5.2, my SGS III is not able to play videos with flash!!!! It´s so terrible for me because I always watch tv on streaming, which need flash player app. I've installed/unistalled the app lot of times from market and using my Titanium B. backup and I don't know what more can I do. Please anybody has experimented something similar???? I'd be so glad if anybody could tell me any solution for this enormous problem . Thanks a lot!!!! Sorry for my English : P
Even on stock Rom flash player is buggy on the S3. Videos will freeze midway through while sound continues to play. But it seems nobody here is bothered by this problem.

Yh i was wondering what was up with that. Also double tapping the video doesnt format the video to the correct size. I remember the gs2 running 2.3 and flash was almost flawless.

Might sound obvious, but have you actually installed Adobe Flash Player from the market?
In the SG3 Known Faults thread, Baldilocks tells us that the very latest ROM, XXLAF6, appears to fix the flash problem (at least, he tested it and couldn't find any fault). So there is hope!

I want flash to see.. videos that need flash in browser

video lag in browsers

hi guys,
looked through the fora but could not find something maybe someone can help me out.
I have bad lag when i watch flashvideos in my browsers. all of them same lag. standardbrowser, skyfire, mozilla, dolphin.
Anyone with the same problem and even better anyone a solution?
Yeah I started thread couple week ago. It's in a q& a section. Unfortunately, there's no solution as of yet regarding video freezing but sound keep playing when streaming on network. Playing on wifi works fine.
One thing I found helps is restarting phone before starting Netflix for example or watching from browser.
Also note YouTube app does not suffer from this, so sometimes if it's a YouTube video embedded in the Page I just click on video link to be able to watch in the app instead of browser.

Yes I'm also suffering this problem. On network or WiFi on all browsers. Pain in the arse!

Flash doesn't lag on the GS3. But it does freeze frequently. If it lags then very likely you aren't actually using flash but the html5 player instead.
Netflix app does not actually use nor is dependant on flash. Also uninstalling flash completely, so that videos that do play, default to html5, still freeze while sound keeps playing, which leads to conclusion that it's not flash issue.

Try ICS Browser+ from Google play...
Flash videos did lag for me initially, so I tried clearing the application data but that wasn't possible. So I installed flash 10, which was incompatible, then updated it using Google Play to flash 11 and it seems to work better now.

[Q] How to get vimeo videos to be displayed?

Hallo everybody,
I am not able to display Vimeo video's at my Samsung Galaxy S2(ICS - 4.0.3. - not rooted).
I installed other browsers like Dolphin, Opera, Chrome, but nothing works. The video's are suites for mobile devices.
I stille get the error "This video can't be played with your current setup. Please switch to a browser that providers native H.264 support or install Adobe Flash Player.".
I can't install Adobe Flash Player, because it is't compatible with the S2.
What can I do? Is it possible to play Vimeo video's on the S2?

Hi Yanekx,
You also have to enable the mobile option at your video in Vimeo.
Good luck!

What about videos that are hosted on Vimeo but are embeded on another site like tumblr . Those wont work either. I have the latest flash player from the adobe archive, installed the latest Mozilla Firefox browser (said to be able to play H264 encoded videos), Opera (not the mini version) and ... urgh .. Chrome, yet still ... my S II wont run the videos. Tested on a HTC, they work flawlessly. I use Vodafone stock 4.0.4 ROM, non rooted. I did see however that on one Vimeo forum, one of the "staff" guys said that they are currently working on this issue (working that has been going on for apparently a year or so) but still no ETA on when it will be solved.

[Q] Youtube Issues

Okay, I am either losing my mind, or there is something seriously wrong with the Youtube Android app. I have a Nexus 10 running CM 10.1 (have also run PA and stock) as well as a Galaxy S3 running Beans (previously CM10). On both of these devices, Youtube can't seem to reliably play for more than 4 minutes at a time. Furthermore, any time I try to seek forward in a video, the player crashes. Finally, every time I click a Youtube link from another application, the video will not load; I have to go to a different video and go back to the one I was trying to watch. Is everyone having these problems? Is there anything I can do to help alleviate these issues? I was planning on using my Nexus 10 to watch online lectures on Youtube, but it will be of little use for that if it can't play more than 4 minutes of video and I am unable to seek to my previous location!
Try finding a way to uninstall the app and then reinstall it. Maybe using a apk file? It could be the YouTube app that comes with the ROMs on your devices are either very buggy or might be corrupted. My YouTube app currently works fine on stock ROM but I have not yet tried cm10 so I'm not quite sure. Hope this helps
Sent from my Nexus 7,
That's an issue with CM ROMs I believe. Had the issue on CM10. Try setting the quality to HQ in settings. That's the way it worked on mine.
Or alternately you can try tubemate app
Life!
