Any other people and having this problem? I figured that the espn.com website would be using html5. I have also read about it, however, when I go to the site, it tells me to install flash, which I can't do in Chrome. Even when I try playing a video on the mobile site, I get a message saying the video can't be played.
I have tried this with dolphin, boat. (with flash), Chrome, and stock browser. Nada bueno.
Works perfectly on all ios devices, iphones, iPad. Little android issues hurt my soul, and I don't want to go back to iPhone, but I pay for espn insider, and if I can't get this to work...
Sad.
Would loading their dedicated app solve this problem?

What happens when you try it with Dophin (with flash). What does it say?
Also in the settings for the browser make sure you request the desktop version of the website. I just got my Note 3 and haven't tried yet. But on My note 2 I was able to watch espn.go using the preinstalled browser (with flash) by requesting the desktop version of the website.
The espn app blows. The videos won't play on it either, but I attribute that to shoddy programming.
In Dolphin, I see the video image, but no play shows up. It's basically a static image that can't be clicked.
I have reinstalled every browser, and I also reinstalled flash several times. I still have my iPad, so I not up a creek completely.
Also, a friend of mine has the same results on his Note 3.
Annoying as hell.

Try Firefox. I just found out that the stock browser in Android 4.3 does not support flash. I was able to watch espngo with firefox.

crud... says not authorized to play on device when viwing desktop site even with UAV set to desktop
Solution (Must Be Rooted)
2 Solutions.
Flash Solution:
1.) Download Dolphin or UC, or Boat browser and set it to Desktop UA. (you will obviously need flash player as well)
2.) Download the libflashplayer.so.zip file I have attached. Once downloaded find the file and remove the ".zip" from the file (it was the only way I could upload the file.) File Should now be "libflashplayer.so"
3.) Place this file in /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib It will advise that this file already exists (using root explorer) and ask if you want to override it. select yes. This file makes the flashplayer appear to be from a windows device. (Hulu and ESPN use this check for their media)
4.) Close all browsers then open the browser back up and you should be able to access the videos at these sites.
Chrome Solution:
1.) Download Chrome or Chrome beta from the play store.
2) Download Chrome UA from the play store
3.) Open Chrome UA and set the user agent to IPad.
4) Close the the chrome brower (If it is open) and open it back up. You should be able to watch all the videos on ESPN.com using HTML5.

Having an issue and not sure if its a Chrome 39 issue or Lollipop issue and was looking for some help or some people to test.
When you open a embedded YouTube link in chrome it opens the mobile YouTube web view in another tab instead of opening the YouTube app. I tested the same link on my Note 4 and it works properly, so I'm not sure were the issue is.
Example:http://www.theverge.com/2014/11/14/...-and-kings-divergent-insurgent-bosch-and-more
In the embedded YouTube view if you click the title in the embedded view it should open the YouTube app instead it opens another tab with YouTube web view.
I have already cleared defaults, cache and date on both YouTube app and chrome app to verify that is not the issue.
Any suggestions would be appreciated or I guess confirmation that this is happening to other people so I can file a bug report.
same issue for me
same issue on nexus 5, lollipop, chrome 39
I also have cleared defaults and did factory reset but it did not work
Works as expected on my N5. It plays in the current tab unless you hit the YouTube link in the upper left corner.
Same issue here with a Nexus 4.
I noticed sometimes it works (i.e. from a google search) sometimes not (like in the link posted by the op)
I'm having the same issue on my Nexus 5. Instead of opening videos in the app, it's sending me to the mobile YouTube page in the browser. Cleared app defaults in YouTube, for Chrome that button is greyed out.
i'm having this same issue on my nexus 6. its pretty annoying
I noticed the problem is fixed when you deactivate "merge tabs and apps". It is connected with the new tabs in multitasking feature.
yup noticed that too.. but i want to keep my tabs merged with recents... i don't know if this is by design or an oversight. i'm hoping google isn't thinking that opening in a new tab is just as good as opening in an app.
I realize this sounds like a generic Android issue versus being specific to the Nexus 6, but I don't see this issue on my other devices (N5, N7, HTC EVO LTE etc), and am wondering if there is something specific to the N6.
Anyway, here's the issue. I opened up the Chrome browser to Androidpolice yesterday, and found playstore links to some apps that I wanted to look at. I clicked on it, and it launched a chrome window for the play store, and let me view everything as expected. I actually didn't even realize that it was a chrome window (looked very similar to Play store app).
The problem is that when I clicked on "Buy" for a paid app, it went ahead without asking me for the password (I've set up Play store app to prompt me for a password for any purchase). That's when I realized that it was a chrome window - not the play store app.
Fine. Should be a simple enough fix - went to settings/app, and looked for Google Play store and looked for the "Clear Defaults" button - but that is grayed out! (I checked Chrome too, and that also had the button grayed out). I cleared cache and data for the Play store app, and tried it again, and it again launched the play store link in Chrome.
TL;DR So, how do I get play store links in chrome window to open up the Play store app instead of another Chrome window? Clear Defaults button is grayed out
Edit: This is the link I was browsing - clicking on any of the apps listed here brings up the play store in a Chrome window - not the play store app
Edit 2: Video highlighting the issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17Hqd2k0SMo
Just tried your link. Links go directly to play store for me. Do you have any other apps or mods that may be affecting this? I can clear defaults on both chrome and play store as well.
That's what's so weird - those links works just fine on my N5 and N7 too. I'm stock, rooted (no custom recovery yet). Rooted only to install adaway. Other than that, no changes to the system partition.
Here, you can see the issue that I'm talking about - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17Hqd2k0SMo
The defaults button is grayed out for Chrome and for Play store, likely because I never set those as default apps for anything. The G+ app has the defaults button enabled because I have it set to open for G+ links.
Short of a full factory reset, any other suggestions?
I have the same issue, but for everything. If I click on a Mega.co.nz link it opens to the browser page asking me to install the app (app is already installed and set up), same for YouTube videos, Play Store links, etc. I tried disabling Google Chrome and installing Chrome Beta, same issue... I'm going to try Firefox and see if it will let me move to other apps from there. VERY FRUSTRATING!
I've been having problems tab casting to chrome since the past 2 days. The Google Chrome cast extension has turned orange and keeps saying my Google Chrome is out of date, when it's in fact just been updated.
I am not even able to cast Youtube because of this issue!
Anyone else having the same problem as me? Is it a known issue?
Hope it gets fixed soon....
I just had issues with this on my pc. I tried to re-install the extension and it gave me some network error. I Uninstalled chrome browser, reinstalled, added cast extension and I am back in business. Hope that helps man!
Check/Internet sync your PC(?) time then try updating/ reinstalling Chrome
Hey guys anyone out there not using gapps with his custom rom ? I am on Lineage 15.01 official oreo build and i dont have google apps installed on my phone.
I use fdroid and yalp store and micro g services. Apps crashes sometimes and it can get painfull but mostly everything works.
One of the disadvantages is that youtube doesn't work you can only browse it through the web. Some other applications also.
For navigation i use offline maps. With games i had no problem.
Anyone tweaked micro g to make youtube play ?
Did you tried YouTube vanced ?
Try it installing from magisk manager app.
What about newpipe ? it is available on f-droid and have tons of features that official youtube app doesnt

Use Newpipe.
Thanks, i downloaded the app. Any ideas on e-mail clients, i used FairEmail for a while but it didn't work as expected. Browsing the web to open my gmail is a lot more trouble.

Outlook maybe?
i am not a big fan of Microsoft either. I am using outlook at work. I also use Microsoft Excel on my device..
But i can say that not using gapps is not a problem, the phone is cleaner and google is not on the background eating sources.
Duck duck go also is a great browser.
