help viewing websites requiring Flash - Motorola Q Forum

Is there a Flash Player version which works with Windows Mobile 6? I am trying to view a website and it keeps telling me that I need to download Flash Player. I have a Q 9c. Thanks

Are there any other methods to view flash sites besides the one mentioned by n99hockey?

I installed TCPMP and the Flash plug-in so I can view Youtube videos and FLV's that I transfer from my computer. I also saw that there's a Skyfire browser but I guess I didn't sign up early enough...

Why does the TCPMP only work for the Youtube site and not any of the other video sharing sites?

not sure why.... I didn't even bother installing the Yt Flashbundle on my new Q, rarely watch video sites. if I do yes, I use Skyfire.

that link lists all browsers that are available...thats it...

and its not tcpmp that allows youtube its the flash cab...its only programed to work with the few sites listed in the shortcut it creates in your start menu

you can still sign up for skyfire...although it might be awhile

So I followed all the steps in that link but it doesn't work for Break.com or Metacafe. Are there any flash video sites that it works on?

I looked through the post and didn't find the "lists all browsers that are available"....

there is a shortcut created in your start menu that says flash video sites (or something like that) and those are the only sites the flash cab will work with

Thank you n99hockey for the reply! I found the list of flash video sites and tried most of them. Of the ones I tried, only Youtube, Google video, and some of Veoh works....

When I click on a video thumbnail, a pop-up menu shows up with the options "Play Video", "Download Video" and "Linked Page". For the working sites, "Play Video" brings up TCPMP and the video plays fine. For most of the other sites, I get an error message of the form:

"This video link is not valid. -------------- [web address]"

With MegaVideo, I get this error message:

"File not found! \Storage Card\Program Files\TCPMP\?dfile=video.flv"

Did I do something wrong? Btw, I'm using Internet Explorer.

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

perhaps something is up with the site...
i just tested that one out andget the samething...i remember with youtube they kept changing something about the site which didnt let the flash cab work so they kept updating it...perhaps the samething is happening here as well

if thats the case there really is nothing you can do
