iPlayer Issues Touchpad - TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
Honestly I have searched for this everywhere.....
Can't get the iPlayer App to work. I'm running Milestone AOKP 4 at the moment as the TP came with this pre-installed from ebay. (ITV Sort of Works) Embedded flash also doesn't work and I am redirected to the flash site which says I have it....
I've also downloaded FlashPlayer 11 from the market but that doesn't seem to work. Can anybody help me?
I'm new to flashing with Mboot & ACME (Not really used either) But very comfortable with ROM Manager and CWM Recovery stuff)
Also whenever I go to youtube on the browser (stock / Chrome Beta) it force closes and I have to restart the app. YouTube App is working fine.
Is anyone else experiencing these issues? Is it recommended to move to CM9 Nightlies or Alpha2?

Try doing a wipe / factory delete, wipe dalvik cache and install the latest nightly.
There are many free apps in the market, like doubleTwist, that are great media players.
I don't use Chrome. Dolphin HD, Opera and icsbrowser+ are what I use. Some things that one can't do, one of the others can.
Your can flash using cwm, install zip from sdcard, but you won't have data. But if you have a backup, you can try and restore data using CWM advanced restore > restore data. That's what I do.
Good luck.
Edit: Boot into webos and make sure it's up to date. Should be 3.0.5. Also install the speed tweaks, preware and patches /kernels.

I didn't think the Web OS version mattered if you are running cm?

I guess the webOS version doesn't really matter if you only run android. But I use webOS quite a bit. It's a great os, you'll also find that the battery life is much, much better.

Hulu for select Android 2.2 devices

Hulu has officially made it clear that they plan to release a Hulu app on Android "soon" to select android 2.2 devices. I am presuming this will not be released on our captivate because I don't believe it has DRM hardware.
Anyone think they will be able to crack this app when it comes out to get it onto our device?
This Hulu app will be the best thing since a youtube app!
Hopefully netflix will hurry up and give us an app, too. Unfortunately, it probably won't run on our device without some hacking because of the same DRM issue.

I think your forgetting about hulu+. Yours still gonna have to pay.
that'd be awesome if we can get this working along with the netflix app that's floating around here. I have both accounts so either one would suffice.

Here is a working version of Hulu. Make sure you go into Market and uncheck automatic updates of adobe flash player and DO NOT udpdate it.I cant remember where I found it but I have been running it for a while and works great.
1.Boot into Recovery (ClockworkMod). Flash the .zip and Reboot
2.Install Hulu.Apk...Enjoy
If you are having problems, uninstall Adobe Flash updates in the Market app and try again.
Thank you, Too bad they block Canadian IP's.
I've been streaming Hulu on my phone for a month now.

EDIT: DOES NOT WORK!!!!

Sets up a media server on your PC that lets you stream Hulu, Netflix and a huge assortment of other streaming websites directly to your phone over 3G (no wi-fi needed). It also allows you to stream videos off of your PC that you download to your phone as well. (Watched a few HD movies this way from my bedroom.)

I tried with those direction, i had Flash 10.2 installed while flashing the zip (unknowingly that it was 10.1) after that i rebooted and it got in a loop at the kernel screen, had to get back into recovery and flash my CM7 update.zip file to get it to boot again, after that i installed the hulu.apk which would work but nothing would play, just a blue brick. So i went to try and uninstall flash and it would not let me uninstall. I had to use Root explorer to delete the Flash_player.apk fro the /system/app folder. Then i could properly put flash 10.2 back on. With 10.2 the video tried to load, but said unsupported device..

[Q] Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 Flash Cannot play video

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.

[Q] App's

I have a Streak 7 with android 2.2.2 on it. And rooted.
I cant seem to download some app's.
Facebook, messenger, and a few more.
This doesn't make since.
Can someone help?
Have you tried the Amazon App store?
I have the same problem. Apps that say they are compatible and that I installed on my ZTE Blade and Mid7 tab won't install on the Streak. Trying to install Lookout and WiFi Sync Manager.
Anyone got any ideas on this one. I could find the apks and force install but would prefer to do it through the market

Those should all work on 2.2.2. Try clearing cache and data on your Market and starting fresh (Home---> Menu---> Settings---> Applications---> Manage Applications---> All---> Market---> Force Stop, Clear Cache, Clear Data; restart and open your Market). Doesn't affect anything and it's worth a shot.
Did you flash 2.2.2 rooted, or root 2.2.2? If the above doesn't work, you may have a corrupted Market. If that's the case, download the new Market apk here:

Tried the market reset, no difference, then installed the new market and still no difference. I have a new streak 7 with 2.2.2 installed and rooted using gingerbreak.

I just tried installing the Facebook app on 2.2.2 (Streakdroid 1.3), and had no issues with it. Unless someone has a better idea, I would recommend doing one of the following:
1. Install via the web based market.
2. Load up ClockworkMod Recovery (via ROM Manager; available in the market) and flash a new ROM. I'd go with Streakdroid if you don't need WiFi, stock/rooted 2.2.2 if you do.
Sounds like you got a bad update, but I can't say for sure. If you install a custom ROM and still have no luck, it may be something specific to your Google account (though I should think that would be far less likely than something being wrong with your particular firmware on your S7).

[FLASH] *Nov 11/11/11 UPDATE* Hulu hacked flash 11.1.102.59

I have took it in my own hands to hack the flash apk to allow you to watch Hulu. This is version 11.0.1.153. I have tested on Hulu.com and also youtube.com to ensure youtube still works. This is my first hack and my first apk so please install at your own risk. I do not assume responsibility for any negative effect this has on your xoom, your computer, or your life
Just install via ADB or save to your xoom and install normally.
You will need to uninstall your current version of flash for this to work.
Hulified v 11.1.102.59
**You need Root to use this application**
Thanks, Bill! Trying it out as soon as I get 3.2.2 working. As you know on IRC, I'm still bootlooping. LOL.
Bilago can I tell you from the bottom of my heart how much I love you right now!!!
I'm on 3.2 and I uninstall my flash/rebooted then installed your flash and rebooted. tried it on the stock browser, xscope pro, opera, firefox and it's not working, but I just installed Dolphin HD, changed user agent to computer and BAMB!
I got HULU again.
Update: what version of youtube are you running? mine keep saying "there was a problem while playing touch to retry"

I just tested the youtube app and it works fine for me, version of youtube is 3.2.3.
I also just tried hulu on stock browser, maxthon, and dolphin HD, all working. Try uninstalling flash again, uninstall adobe air, then reinstall my flash apk. Let me know how that works. I'm on #xoom as xoombill if you want to chat there.

ok false alarm, youtube is working. I was at work using their wifi and forgot that they have youtube blocked. i'm home now and it's working.
I also installed maxthon and it's working there as well. still can't get it to work on stock browser but I don't care about that.

I believe this is because the stock browsers UA is "Android".
In order for this to work, the UA must be Desktop. You don't have the option to change that in the stock browser that comes with the Xoom.
Almost 90% sure

If you are not running one of the ROMs that sets the UA to Desktop you must manually change it each time you open the stock browser. To do this follow these steps.
1) Once the stock browser is open, type "about:debug" in the address line and hit enter. It will appear as though nothing has changed so this is normal.
2) Open the browser settings. Now you will see items such as "Dump Navigation Cache", etc.
3) Go into Settings>Debug. Here you will see UAString. You can set the UA to desktop and then hit back. This will stay until the browser is closed.
I am hoping this is accurate as I am running a ROM with this set so had to go by memory.
Thanks for this! Everything seems to work with the exception of justin.tv. Any ideas why this won't work? I use this to watch news. I'm on tiamat hammerhead.

No idea. Worst case it doesn't and you have to uninstall flash and reinstall it. Nothing can really happen that will damage the transformer.

Flash Player 11 is coming out tonight! Keep an eye out on the market y'all. I didn't wanna make a thread for this because there is no reason to. So, there ya go.
With version 11 comes major stability and performance improvements, as well as new 3D game console quality graphics, this of course will not be ready to be used yet on launch. This is quite a feat for Flash based games.
Maybe this new updated Flash Player will work with Hulu by default? If not, I'm sure this Hulu modified Flash Player will make its way onto 11.

Flash woes

Alright Y'all, I've attempted searching for the thread for the past week. I can't find the HW accelerated flash apk anywhere. I've tried uninstalling the and reinstalling the markets flash 11. I just can't get flash to work on the nookcolor. Can anyone help me out? I'm now on nightly 211 an still have no working flash. My YouTube works though, but any web link or video in the Pulse app wont show up, or if it does it'll say no flashplayer installed. Flash 11 settings comes up w a get flash logo, and click on it and permission to access market denied?
Sent from my NookColor using Tapatalk
try flash 10, works perfect on my nook cm7. Although I changed build to nexus s and got flash 10 I saw on my wifes unmodded build.prop she had 11
just tried hers and 11 is working. We are on nightly 208
BTW, you can get the Barnes & Nobile Flash 10.1 out of the stock ROM 1.3 archive in a thread in the android development forum. Just open it up in a archive problem (it's a zip file) and get the .apk out of the apps folder. You can easily install this on CM7.
Hardware acceleration is almost useless though. It is extremely picky about which videos will actually play in hardware because the Nook only plays some kinds of H.264 videos on its DSP. So there isn't a lot to gain by using an older version of Flash. Flash is just not a very efficient app and it is too much for the Nook a lot of the time.
Also, the versions prior to 10.3 don't properly let you select different video resolutions because the option box doesn't work right with a touch screen.
Ah. Thank you very much
