Hi fellows!
Today I discovered a problem with my TAB, when I try to open Flash videos, like the ones on YouTube, the web browser crashes. I have tried with the stock and dolphin web browsers and it always crash when I open a YouTube video. Besides that, flash is working and I can watch videos with YouTube app.
I also tried to update flash from 10.1 to 10.3 but it didn't fix the problem.
I have a P1000L Galaxy Tab with stock rom.
Does anyone know how can I fix it?
Thanks!
EDIT: Well, after flashing an Android 2.2.1 ROM with filesystems converted to EXT4 (HumberOS ROM 1.2.5), the problem is gone and I can correctly use flash 10.3 in browsers. Although, I can't state what was really causing the problems...
I found a thread that many people in Brazil is reporting the same problem. I'm not sure if it is happening only with P1000L devices.
Here is the thread: http://www.androidz.com.br/forum/topic/4581-problemas-com-video-em-flash-apos-firmware-update/ (in Portuguese)
The proposed solution is to download an old flash version (10.1.72.7) and install.
I have tried here and the problem is really gone. Now I can watch youtube videos on Dolphin browser (when I set User Agent option to Desktop) without any problems.
Can anyone with another Galaxy tab version confirm this issue? Or help me to fix problems with 10.3 flash version?
By the way, I'm using stock android 2.2 ROM, but it also seems to be happening with 2.2.1 stock ROM.
I found that the latest adobe flash player that doesn't have this issue here is 10.1.92.8.
Problem solved by flashing an Android 2.2.1 ROM.

I have froyo booting from SD... cannot get any flavor of dolphin to work correctly for me - continually get FC's. Stock browser works fine... stock even works with flash, dolphin crashes. Anyone else having this issue?
I have uninstalled dolphin, and reinstalled also.
What version of Dolphin are you using? I heard 4.3 has issues. For the Nook, use 4.2.
How do I get 4.2? The link in the marketplace leads nowhere.
Sorry, found it. It's a new beta which can be found here: http://bit.ly/gQMOc7
Did that beta work? 4.2 is the older version (current is 4.3)
I have tried dolphin mini and dolphin hd. HD messed up on me first, and I uninstalled it. Mini will not work now either.
4.2

Ive been reading up on this for about 2 weeks now and decided to flash nookie-froyo-0.6.8.custom.3.zip. I got market and all the gapps to work fine but cant seem to get any youtube videos on my browser to work i keep getting the error - Cannot play video - Sorry, this video cannot be played.
Is this just an issue with nookiefroyo or is there a workaround. youtube from browser works just fine from my htc aria. Thanks
I'm having similar problems. Flash content works on some sites, but anytime that I try to watch a flash video, the browser crashes.
Anybody have advice?

Switch user agent from default (Android) to desktop.
Does Flash works on other websites? If it does not, backup Flash with Titanium Backup, uninstall, and then restore Flash.
Thanks for the reply!
I have dolphin hd. i downloaded the addon for this and still it doesnt work can you explain how to do this without dolphin, still with the addon it doesnt work thanks in advance
In Dolphin: Menu > More > Settings > User Agent > Desktop
Both times I installed nookie froyo, I have to uninstall flash, then reinstall from the market. This always fixes any issues I was having.
I'm having this problem with Firefox too. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Flash via Titanium Backup (this actually worked with Firefox on my Android phone), but Firefox still won't play Flash, acts like Flash isn't installed. The default browser does play Flash though.
Any other tricks other than uninstalling and reinstalling Flash? Firefox doesn't seem to have an option to change the agent.
Grab the Flash 10.2 that's floating around the forums. It is working great on my NC with the Customized Nookie Froyo 0.6.8.

Stolen from the XDA XOOM forum. Original Thread Here
Thanks to XDA Members frankic for the original post and to Blades for following up with a working linky. If that link goes bad try the link to the XOOM forum.
Hulu even works somewhat ok (DolphinHD) after a little tweaking...
I rooted my nook using MN 4.5.6 after I updated to 1.2
My device failed to reboot after I updated the flash player to 10.3, I suggest that no one does that.
Flash only works with built-in browser, for example if you install Dolphin browser it won't work on it.
I'm unable to update the market app like i have done in the past, thus the problem with tilting the device sideways to load more apps still remains.
Anyone has a solution to any of these issues?

I wish I could be of some help, but at least I can reply as to whether I'm having the same issue.
My (well it's technically my wife's) NC came with 1.1
I updated that to 1.2 from the barnes & noble site, then rooted it with the latest manual nooter (4.5.18 I think.)
I did not update flash however, and flash works just fine in Dolphin HD.
The easiest thing to do would probably be to just flash to stock and then re-root it. You'll end up losing stuff, but it's probably the most sure-fire way to get back to a working state.
Edit: I have no idea what can be done about the market issue. I'm having that as well and it's kinda irritating.
I recently did a manual noot on my 1.2.0 NC, and all went well
(thanks go to GabrialDestruir). However as I began mucking about on it, I seem to have removed/uninstalled Adobe Flash. Now when I open YouTube, etc it tells me I need to install it, but can't for the life of me find it in the Market or any way to do so.
I had the bootloop issue at first since I apparently tried to install the update before reading of the issues with it.
Any help ?
look for signed_youtube.apk and reinstall. worked for me when I mucked it up.
Thanks, I'm on it.
update:
Grabbed & installed it w/ FE, but Dolphin mini still tells me I need to install Adobe plugin for flash videos to work
Vids WILL play directly thru YouTube.
Wondering if anyone is having issues with video or flash on websites. I have the latest Overcome rom (Jupiter) and i keep getting this message:
Content Unavailable
This viedeo is not authorized for playback on this device
I am also running flah 10.3
I am getting this message on my hone webpage of Espn on boyh the stock browser and dolphin browser. I have the flash to display on demand. Anyone else having issues?

The usual advice has been to uninstall flash, then go to market and get latest. If you just update, you don't really get the improvements.
It's espn who block the access from a mobile device. It detects flash for mobile, just like hulu. You can try with the hacked flash for hulu.
I unistalled flash and redownloaded it (10.3version) still same issue, mow when i was with the old overcome version i didnt have this issue. Why make things so complicated for us users.
