Does it give an error when you try to play the video?

Online it says "cannot play video" sorry this video cannot be played. On netflix I hear the dialogue but cannot see the video, and on youtube it says, there was a problem while playing touch to retry.

Hey, everybody. I know this thread seems dead, but I want to post my fix here. This thread was one of the first Google results when I looked for answers, and I'm hoping what helped me will help somebody else who stumbles across this.

I manually installed the most recent version of Adobe Flash on my phone, and that resolved all of my video playing problems. I don't know if it fixed the underlying issue (i.e., if the real problem was with HTML5 and this fix just lets me use Flash instead, where applicable), but the videos play--so I ain't complainin'. Anyway, this link should walk you through the process (and helpfully has a direct link to the most recent Flash apk).
