Sites with video for iPhone - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

There is a few sitea that i visit on my cousins iphone that i would like to be able to visit from my nexus one. They load just fine, but the video of course wont open. Is there an app i can get to play these video files or am i just going to have to do without?

your topic title is very misleading. But i see what you want. Afaik your ROM needs to have flash installed for the videos to work in the browser. i'm running MoDACo custom r21 and i can view videos fine.
good luck with your problem.

Veetle on Android (working well in g tablet)

Hi guys, just thought I'd share my findings. Not sure if many here use veetle but here goes.
So it was the FA Cup final (soccer?) over in england and I can't get a decent steam over here in asia. Thus I turned to veetle. Veetle plays on my g tablet with flash 10.3. But video is a bit choppy. I'm on tnt 4.4.
To overcome this, I searched the net and found a "fix".
Heres what you need to do:
1) Get dolphin hd browser (not sure if setting user agent is available on stock browser)
2) Get vplayer from market (if not available, search online for apk)
3) Go to settings in dolphin browser and set user agent to Iphone (not ipad).
4) Visit veetle.com and stream away. The video should open the vplayer and stream the .m3u8 format from there.
Note: vplayer is a paid app. Free version is a trial for seven days. I bought the app on my desire hd and ported over. It did not appear on my g tablet market. (using olympus build prop). And watching on copy righted content on veetle is not strictly legal but I'm a poor student and theres no decent feed here.

BBC Iplayer Working and how to, with files

Been trying for about two days to get this working, was really annoying me that when i got the nexus 7, i could not use i player.
So here it is for the others that are having problems with it.
Install the two apk's attached.
If you have been trying to get it working with other versions of iplayer and flash, please go into app manager and clear the cache and data of these apps before opening them.
go to apps and launch i player and enjoy.
No need to use other browsers now.
just installed those files, working well. thanks.
Nice one cheers

I have installed BBC iPlayer and flash player and cleared the data like you said but when I open BBC iplayer chrome opens up and says I ned to update flash. What should I do thank you
Simple indeed but The picture quality is a bit crud with this method _ if u install flash and Firefox or dolphin mini and set to desktop user agent you can just go to the iPlayer website and select and the stream adjusts to your bandwidth and you can view the HD streams too! You have to put up with the flakiness of flash in a browser but you can still watch in glorious techno vision.

Works great,but couldn't get dolphin to work with flash and Firefox isn't compatible,so I'm really grateful for this until we get an official app.

Fantastic all working.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Edited: I meant to say use the Firefox beta from play and then set request desktop - then go to normal iPlayer website.
So far is most stable way to get high quality viewing and HD options. HD stuff looks awesome - other versions just look poo in comparison.
If u want to show someone iPlayer on N7 then the above is the easiest and best imo

Funny thing that, im no expert here, but when i wiped the Nexus and re installed the i player and flash as i said above, i got the same thing. Perhaps someone with more knowledge could explain. But also i Rooted the device and set the dpi to 160 for tabley mode before i installed. Maybe that has something to do with it.

I installed Firefox Beta from the play store, it works if before going to the iplayer site you set it to Desktop mode.
Nice one, works a treat!

Is the anyway I can get this working in Australia?
I was born in England, and as such I really like all the tv programmes ect, but the app says it only works in the UK.

That's because here in the UK we pay a hefty licence fee for the privilege.
I was using firefox beta + sideloaded flash, but will give this a go. Thanks OP.

Anyone found a way to get flash working again on the Dolphin browser?

......I finally got it to run on the default internet app. But all other browsers fail to run flash.
I installed an older version to get it to run on the default browser btw.

I just sent them an email asking about YouTube in particular. Dolphin plays the video, but no picture; I can only hear the audio. I've tried in many user agents same thing. YouTube plays fine on chrome....

Chrome doesn't use flash plugins so any videos viewed would be HTML5.
Boat Browser is another that still supports Flash Player.

I'll try that then. The stock browser is to plain even tho I have the flash player working on there

Right, but according to YouTube, everything has, or almost has been converted to HTML5, yet Dolphin doesn't play any video.... I can't imagine I've only tried the ones that are still only in flash format....

[HIDDEN FEATURE]2 videos in system files

QHey there,
Today I was just roaming in my nexus' system files(running stock 4.2.2) and I ended up finding 2 videos. I ran a search in xda and on Google but nobody has ever reported them.Thought I'll just share it with the community.
They are located in
Internal memory/system/media/video
Once again if they are already known then forgive me for posting.
If you like,press thanks button.

they have been there ever since ics, only they were one level up in /system/media/. they are ads kinda, videos that google released on youtube to grab attention. look when i posted this to youtube, im surprised that youtube hasnt removed it.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=X-mijizlpPA

Sample videos. These are delivered with almost all the devices. Its like the sample videos, pictures and music on newly installed Windows
yeah, I always delete them. It's only a few mb, but they take up unnecessary space.
Those videos do actually serve a purpose, they were used in Google Talk when you're in a video chat and you enable the sunset/space backdrops. Though I imagine they'll be removed in the future now that Talk has been replaced with Hangouts (which lacks the backdrop feature)
Still they are something people normally don't know.(I guess)

I found this out pretty late too. I do it with a lot of apps, like buffering mx player in the background.
Ive read that an update is coming and that background playing is going to be possible soon with youtube

Thank you kind Sir. I was looking for a way to do this for quite a while now.
This trick only works with the version that is currently in the Play Store, not the current modified (screen off and 1080p playback) one that is floating around XDA.
Still, once switched to the homescreen, screen-off playback works too.
Just download viral from the play store it allows you to play YouTube in a small window or run in the background

Yeah but you need root + custom rom to use Halo (I know there are some app that emulate it). Viral can use on any device and its very fast, probably use less resources than the Youtube app itself. I can even use it as an offline video player if you set links to open in pop up mode (which then can be fullscreened), I don't even need MXPlayer anymore. Also with Viral you can select YouTube videos to play in any existing resolution available.
Do you guys have any rom review suggestion for me? I want to do review of some rom

YouTube has always driven me nuts with this issue. Many times I just want to listen. I hope the make some changes. The TV connect always popping up in the way, the new comments system.. Etc.
Haven't tried this mod yet but sounds good.
