Question Online videos not working??

Hello all!

Since a few months I'm a happy new android pad owner. When it comes to the main reason why I bought a pad (reading books) everything works great. However, recently I have come to stop using my laptop altogether and I'd like my pad to be able to play online videos. Here is were it all gets weird - while I can play Youtube just fine most other sites do not work. Namely, no online anime sites, no videos with news sites etc. Instead of a video I get a big black box with a tiny blue box with a questionmark icon in it. I'm guessing this might be a flash issue, but Im really not sure what to do. I have tried installing varous media players and searcing for a flash app from android store (couldnt even find any). So if anyone has had a same problem and knows how to solve it, then any help would be appreciated. Im using Archos Arnova 10b btw.

You need Adobe Flash installed on your tab. Your tab may not support it though. Here is the blurb from the Market where you can download it. Read it and see if you can use it on your tab.

So how can I install it on my netbook if the link tells me I don't have any devices, even after I sign in?

You can also use Skyfire browser. Video playback is much smoother and loads faster than in other browsers because it is loaded on an external server. You don't even need to have Flash installed on your device if I'm not mistaken.

The only downside is that it costs $3.

If the Flash app is not compatible on your device if you try to install it, the most likely answer is that simply your device is not powerful enough hardware wise to run Flash videos.
