Samaman · March 3rd, 2011, 12:04 PM

I have a motorola xoom tablet android 3.0. I can not stream any video (windows, flash or real player) through the browser. You tube works fine. Any suggestions will be very much appreciated? Thanks

More details. Are you on 3g or wifi? Is is just video that wont stream? What kind of video? Flash or h264?

Wi-Fi or 3-G, neither work. Flash, RealPlayer and Windows Media (wmv) files will not work.

What about other streaming media? WMV, RealPlayer.... Are we to only receive You Tube video? I am aware of the flash issue, but it is unfortunate that the Xoom can not receive wmv or realplayer streaming media of which both are very prevalent on the internet.

Android only streams h264 videos, not wmv or realplayer.

So I just out how to get great unlimited streaming (and free!) for almost any new tv, movies (even in theater), and movies. I'm not sure if this is general knowledge but I thought I'd share. You will need flash, and I did this using a HTC inspire. I used dolphin browser, although it will probably work with other browsers. Go to letmewatchthis.ch, you will see links for movies, tv, and music. Select any movie or tv show you wish to watch and you will be directed to a series of links, I personally use putlocker. When the browser settings are configured for a mobile device you will only be able to download the file. However change the browser to desktop settings will allow you to stream these videos.

Not exactly legal.
