Cant play HTML5 videos. - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can you guys play HTML5 youtube videos from the youtube desktop page on your phone? I've been trying on Chrome but I cant get it to play ever. I get an error message.
I've tried both enabling and disabling HTML5 setting on the youtube page. https://www.youtube.com/html5
Also, I cant play imgur GIFVs. Both on the site or the app. http://i.imgur.com/B1Tq4QQ.gifv I can open that link fine on my computer but not on my phone.
Is it just me or does everyone have this issue?
Im using the Archidroid 4.4.4 kitkat ROM.

Thank you. I'll look into it.
I managed to get the Gifvs to work by wiping the phone and using Archi Kernel instead of Boeffla.

YouTube app no longer playing videos!

Hello all. I have been having issues with the HTC youtube app on the Raphael. Running original sprint rom. I am no longer able to play any video in the youtube app. I am able to open the program and search, but as soon as I try to play, I get a "Cannot play this video" error. I have searched high and low for a solution to this; I've tried a couple of so-called resolutions but nothing yet. Any ideas?
edit: One of my friends has the Sprint Touch Pro as well and the youtube app works fine on his. I have tried a hard reset and that seemed to work for a day but then I begin to get the same problem. I REALLY don't want to have to do a hard reset every time I want to view a youtube video!
edit 2: Appears to be a problem with the flashlite cab I downloaded and installed. Did a hard reset and reinstalled all my programs except the flashlite and youtube is now working fine. FYI.

[Q] Chrome Browser ?

How do u get the plug in necessary to view certain pages with the chrome browser..also i cannot view videos on certain sites in addition any "featured " links in google when clicked shows errors.. sorry im a chrome noob any help is appreciated..
Edit: websites show puzzle piece and says no plug in available to display this content
Because it is in a beta version, it lacks certain features and functionality. As of right now, there is no flash support. Later, they will most likely add this feature, but if you need flash now, you will need to use a different browser. My personal favorite at the moment is Boat Browser which is free on the market.
I have no issue going to youtube and playing videos via chrome.
I have also played my own websites flash slideshow via chrome without issue.

this + i have played a couple flash games on chrome on my prime. of course it was slow and not meant for touch input, but it DID work
Flash does not work for me and I believe it is not supported by Chrome. Surprised anyone has gotten it to work.

Hi, I've got flash installed on my phone and want to watch youtube vids in firefox instead of the app so I can block the ads. So I disabled the app but I just get a blank screen.
Any ideas?

Well I tried on dolphin browser, and here it is how it is done:
1. Install dolphin browser from Google play and run it then close it.
2. Install latest android adobe flash player apk (Flash Player 11.1 for Android 4.0 (11.1.115.69)) from this page.
3. In your phone, Go to data/data/mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser/shared_prefs/ folder and delete "mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser_preferences.xml"
4. Now open dolphin browser again ->settings -> web content -> turn flash player to ALWAYS ON... and wolla.. all flash contents are playable now. :laugh:
Thanks. But I wanted Firefox. .
*bump*

I have flash. I can watch embedded videos in Firefox, but not those on the youtube site, which open in the youtube app. But then adblock can't block the ads...
Anyone? Anyone?

Can't play online videos

Since I've flashed SlimKat 4.4 and moved to CM 11 4.4, I haven't been able to watch videos online. There's audio but the video is just black and the YiuTube logo glitched on the bottom right part of all videos I play. Tried different browsers, no luck. Can only watcb through YouTube app but I uninstalled all Google apps because I hate them, now I need to be able to watch vids thru browser. Local videos work fine.
Help me, pros. Thanks.
Another question: is it ok to clean flash a JB rom over KK?

Question Youtube buffering

Any idea how to fix youtube buffering ? My internet is strong, i don't have this problem on other devices. Basically when i turn from 720p to 1080p it starts to buffering, any fix for it?
YouTube Vanced - Download YouTube Vanced APK
YouTube Vanced is modded version of YouTube client for Android
youtubevanced.com
Try this

However, there is an alternative called ReVanced, which is a community-driven project that continues to provide a similar ad-free YouTube experience with additional features. If you enjoyed using YouTube Vanced, you may want to give ReVanced a try.
Alternatively, NewPipe works well, too.
