Help Unable to view some videos

[llanita]

I have downloaded and installed Flash Player according to the google search results I found on installing it. I can see it in my Apps folder. I have a Nexus 10 4.4.2 v tablet.

However, when I try to view videos from a recipes site, and I click on the play arrow, nothing happens, so I really don't know why or what is going on. None of the recipe videos on any of those recipe sites work. Are they not Flash also?

I am also able to view videos on YouTube.

I am now unable to view flash videos. Have uninstalled and reinstalled flash, but now I get the message that says that adobe flash is needed to view the videos. I have installed the latest flash version from adobe for the 4.0 versions of android.
thanks

First you need a browser that is flash capable. Such as boat browser, there are quite a few others too. Now with boat browser I have found you need to disable request desktop site for it to work properly with flash content.

I use Firefox and have followed their instructions on how to do it, but obviously I'm doing something wrong because I can't view them.
I downloaded the last version for android in the archives, maybe if I download the previous version? I am frustrated with this.
Thanks for the response

Wasn't this work around no longer possible on kit kat?

How do I found out if I have kitkat or not? I have scoured the web and viewed instructions on how to use flash with firefox, and apparently it works for a lot of people, but not for me.
I can view YouTube vids, so shouldn't I be able to view flash too?

Android 4.4 is kit kat, so you are on that version. I don't think YouTube uses flash.

Not sure about the Firefox thing, have you tried dolphin browser?

Youtube and many other sites use HTML5 now. I'd petition the video host to use it.

Apps > Settings > About Tablet ... your current software version will be listed under 'Android version'.
