Hello, I have a Droid Razr M on verizon wireless, and it's running Android 4.1.1. Lately, I've noticed issue with flash. Is has Flash Player installed, as well as Google Chrome and Opera Mobile. I can access videos via youtube.com, but not embedded videos on my site.

For fun, I make music fan videos for TV shows I like and such, and have a section on my site for them. The vids are hosted on my 4shared.com account.

No matter which browser I open my site in, neither will play the videos from my site, but will if I go to 4shared and login. (My site in run through wordpress)

Does anyone know what I can do to get it to where I can watch my vids on my
Razr if I would choose to?

Hi, Jen. I don't think Chrome on Android supports Flash. I'm not sure what browsers do support it.

after I posted, I saw somewhere that Chrome for android doesn't, but opera mobile is supposed to.  that one, it's almost as if it isn't enabled or can't find the plugin.

Where the video box is on the page, is just a square (the same size) and inside it says plug-in content.

I did try going to opera:plugins, and it says plugins are enables, but under that, it says none found

Hmmm... it looks like Flash isn't supported in Jelly Bean. :-\

Any chance you could change your videos to some other format?

Most of them are .wmv, though embedded from 4shared to my blog because my host doesn't allow video storage, and I do have 200+ videos.   

I have in the past, tried using youtube, but some of my vids get flagged, because of the songs used, even if I add no copywrite infringement intended
