This is a UK question. As iplayer might not work in other countries.
www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer
Has anyone got the bbc iplayer to play the video? All I get is a green box, the audio plays ok.
I have tried a hard reset but its still the same. I'm using Flash 10.1 from the Android market.
Help please people..... ?!?!?
Same here on 2.3.1 using stock browser. I only get sound and the green screen. Flash re-installed and a reset still no luck.

When did you update to 2.3.1?
I'm trying to work it out if the people that have it working installed Flash 10.1 when they were still running 2.3.0

I also have same issue with my Nexus S. My nexus one is working fine.
This is most strange. Can we have a poll on who has iPlayer working on their Nexus S and what updates you have done Eg. 2.3.0 installed flash then updated to 2.3.1
My phone was updated to 2.3.1 the moment I first turned it on
me too! green screen,sound ok running 2.3.1 Flash installed.
Try skyfire or change user agent.

Would be far more useful if we could download the profs though for me as with the Nokia offering.

Has your phone offered you the 2.3.1 update yet?
If so let me know if it works after you have done it

I take it you have done the 2.3.1 update? I am trying to work out if it's the update which the Flash Player doesn't like.
Same issue as well. Nothing but a green screen on iplayer and even a few YouTube videos.
Android 2.3.1 and Flash player 10.1 installed from market.

Was that using the Youtube app pre installed or via the web browers?
There is a fix for the iplayer Thanks to ryude, sporran and others for this:
Go to google.com and in the URL bar, type; about:debug then hit go.
Not much happens but press menu button/more scroll to bottom, hit settings and scroll to bottom, you should have some extra settings, tick the box at Normal Rendering and click on UAString ,choose Desktop. Exit and that's it. BBC Iplayer will now play without a green screen.

I just installed Opera Mobile 9.7 beta. When I start Opera, it brings a small white square on square then it freezes. I need to take out battery to reboot my phone.
I have uninstalled and installed again two time, but same result. Any idea what can I do ? I googled around, didn't find any solution, in fact not many people had same problem.
Any way to debug, what's happening in my phone. Other s/w runs fine without any problem.
Use a different version.
Try install it online, i.e., connect to the innternet first before install it & the first time launch it.
I had the same issue. I just had to use Opera 9.5
I guess, I will just wait for next beta ore release.
You need to install openGL drivers in order for it to work. Here is the link.

CM7 doesn't work with youtube. I'm not sure what your intentions are, but you can't play videos until the problem with the dsp/audio code gets worked out. Fortunately, it seems they have the problem narrowed down, so when The Great One returns from spring break, he has said he plans to hit the ground running.

Delete the Youtube.apk from /system/app then just install YouTube from Market.
Also make sure you have Flash Player 10.2 from Market.
If you use the lastest version of CM7, YouTube works, but at only 15fps..
Hopefully, this will be fixed soon...

Our definitions of "working perfectly" are very different.
Also, it's my understanding that the Youtube app does not use flash. It streams an Mp4 or something for efficiency and hardware accel. The YoutubeXL app is really just a browser pointed at youtube's XL site and it uses flash (software accel)

Maybe they are and maybe not...what I am trying to say is that my youtube works perfectly...in HD...just as well as it does on my phone...I'm trying to figure out WHY. If it is truly working the way it's supposed to, I wanted to share what I had going. I know that the apk doesn't use flv....(My flash works fine, too, so maybe I accidentally did something right there, as well.) Does anyone know how to measure fps in the youtube.apk setting? Thanks.

Can't install YouTube or Google Apps CM7 SD Nook Color
When I go to the market, it displays these apps but there is no INSTALL or DOWNLoad button. It's missing from the app page. I have tried going to the developers page and the same thing happens. It's as if it doesn't recognize the NOOK Color when CM7 is running. Latest CM7 version was installed less than a week ago. NetFlix works however. Any ideas? Thanks.

Yes, thanks for the response. I read the post earlier but it referred to "updates". I wish to install the program for the first time. I have a new first-time install of CM7 and presumable it contained the new market. The apps show up but there is on Install button showing. Is this still the 160 vs 161 issue?

Okay, this was very helpful and works with brand new installs and presumable updates as well. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I'm glad I can now see the Install buttons on many more applications.
The only problem I have now is that many of the videos on YouTube give me the following error when I try to load them:
"There was a problem while playing... Touch to retry." Retrying doesn't help. The same videos load and play properly using my big Windows 7 computer. Has anyone seen this error and has a suggestion for a fix?
Thanks again.
Okay I just loaded HBO go onto my G tablet with the VeGan rom 5.1.1. While the app runs when I try to sign on the app fails with a force close. Anyone using VeGan or any other ROM including stock having similar issues? If this app is as good as it is on my iPad (no flames, no snide remarks) then this will be a great app for the tablet community.

From the Website on your desktop or on the Website from your gTablet? If so, what browser? Opera reports unsupported. Haven't tried any of the others.
Doesn't work with my cable company either.
If I remember correctly, you need Android 2.3 or higher, not 2.2
Got it to work with Dolphin HD after I disabled the AdFree app I had running and checking "enable plug-ins" to always on. Full screen seems to be necessary as well to see the bottom of the page.
Just checked the normal android browser - works too with "Default Zoom" set to "far" to be able to see the whole page.

I have it working on BC 1.20. You need to download "!IMEIMe(b10)(5).zip" from this link "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103766". Put your ROM of choice into the same folder as the "!IMEIMe(b10)(3).exe" (from the unzipped file). Run it and answer yes when asked if you want to modify a ROM (some wording to that affect). Supply a "pass word/code", I used my G-tab serial number (you might want to read the topic for a LOT! of discussion on unique IMEI generation. It injects an IMEI into the ROM, based on the number you supply and renames the ROM adding "IMEI" to its name. You end up with two ROMs original and renamed ROM. Take the Renamed ROM and change its name to the standard "update.zip" and re-flash!. Both HBO GO and the Xfinity apps now work on my G-Tab.
Thanks for this rmac. I am playing around with this. So far with CM7 build 86 i got HBO to work, but it would not show any video. Might have been an HD video, which might not work on GB. I tried Caulkin and Vegan 5.1, but was getting FCs on both with HBO. Will play around more when i get home and will probably try BC 1.2.
Update: I have installed BC 1.2 and have hbogo working, however the picture is not great. It does full screen, but is not very clear. Anyone else have a better experience?

Yes hbogo has poor pic quality for me also. It would be a good app if pic quality was better, maybe a future update will address this issue?
According to the help built in the app, it supports HD. Definately a bug if that's the case- seems like it's defaulting to the lowest quality available.

Hob go and cinemax go both work on tablets with skyfire web browser
HBO GO app has been updated in the Android market -- it now works fine on the GTab (at least it does on mine, running Froyo Clemsyn+Calkulin version).
Hey everybody,
i know there alot of nook users that use Read it Later (Now called "Pocket").
Since they changed to the new name it cant be installed on your nook from the android market.
i think they discontinued the android 2.1 support.
I have opened a ticket at their support system to get it back on the nook
If you want this too or just want to help me to get it back,
please leave a reply on the ticket
http://support.readitlaterlist.com/...android-21-for-older-devices-or-ebook-readers
Thank You!
Could you pull the necessary files from a Nook that has ReadItLater currently installed?
Failing that, I would email 'Pocket' support and ask for the application. You might get it. It was available publically only hours ago, how strict could they be?
i have thought about that too (add the files here) but i only have the pro version.
I dont think its allowed to publish the apk from a paid app ?! but i dont know, if iam wrong correct me
Yes it now requires 2.2.
Although it never worked properly on my nook anyway. Had some serious scrolling problems. When scrolling down by swiping the screen it would often move in the wrong direction. I had the same problem with the IHT app by the way.
Have a look at the Readability thread in this forum. Maybe that is for you. Its what I am doint at the moment.

Wasn't going to complain too much not to get the "pocket" rebrand since readitlater was still working fine... but now it isn't. Can't download any of my articles (though it can see they are there). They must have changed the system to no longer be compatible with the old version.

Free registration at instapaper.com, free app. from google market "Read later for Instapaper" (author Capone) plus official bookmarklet from instapaper.com for browser which adds current page to the reading list. I almost happy with this solution.
Cons: no images, font is horrible and i see no way to change it, you need to refresh the list manually to download new articles, don't use full screen mode because it will hide options button at the top of your nook. Cheers

Capone's "Read Later for Instapaper" has been removed from the Google Play store. Presumably because it no longer syncs (the spinner spins, but makes no progress) and if you clear data and try to set it up again, the (correct) username and password aren't accepted. Presumably Instapaper have blocked it from logging into an account that doesn't have a $1/month subscription attached (the API is only open to third-party apps if the account does so). The official paid Instapaper app doesn't require the subscription, but requires Android 2.3.3.
Has anyone got a copy of an older version of the official Instapaper app that still runs on Android 2.1?
EDIT: I've found Laters which works on Android 2.1 on the Nook, so I think I'll switch back to Pocket.
I read today that Pocket is now available for the Kobo reader. May be is it possible to use the kobo version on our NST?

There is an option to increase or decrease the text size in the menu when reading Push Text Style on the menu. You can also choose Article view or full web page view in th options.
Readitlater seems to be the best option right now. It is possible to scroll with the nook buttons by enabling "Volume rocker scrolling" in the Readitlater settings. You have to go into Nook Touch Mod Manager and set your hardware buttons to Volume up and Volume down, but fortunately the keys still work fine in reader apps when set like this.
Newer version
This is the 1.3 version. I 've tested it, it works pretty good and has the "volume rocker" option too. Only minus is that if you map hardware keys to volume up and down, while they work well with read it later they don't work with stock reader
Also sometimes you swipe to scroll down but it scrolls up (weird bug..)

Even if it's on the phone it's been blocked in certain browsers; i.e. Dolphin. There are threads that indicate certain versions of dolphin work but they didn't work for me. Also, I've read Chrome doesn't support flash but I don't know if they ever did. I've found Opera to be a good alternative for me.

Chrome has never supported flash on Android. If I need flash, I just use the stock browser most of the time.
