Whenever I try to watch videos on different websites , a message pops up saying , download flash player to watch it . Now I believe YouTube takes. Flash , though my iPod still players it . So why doesn't it play on other sites . Any way I could fix it . |

Youtube uses html5 for ipods and regular files for the actual app. So no you cannot watch flash videos on the ipod. |

Actually you can watch flash on an iOS device if you use the Skyfire or Photon web browsers. Skyfire is superior to Photon in every respect and both are available for free from the appstore. Won't work on every flash video, maybe 80-90%, but I was able to watch live streaming video from ESPN3 with Skyfire which I really like. I believe, someone please correct me if I am wrong, that with both of these browsers what actually occurs is when you click on a flash video the respective server (Skyfire or Photon) converts the flash source into HTML5 before sending it to your device. Videos may be paused during playback but you cannot select a starting point other than the beginning or "rewind" the video without it once again starting over. A little annoying if you want to see the last 5 minutes of a 30 minute clip but it is the only flash option available for users of iOS. |
