videos not playing on Chrome

[jhp]

Is anyone else having a problem with their videos not playing on Chrome with certain sites? Mine used to play the videos on vimeo, andrew christian, and other sites like that, but now all it does is play the audio. What do I need to do? Help please!

I can still get flash to work on 4.2.1, but not in Chrome. Chrome works with h.264 and html 5 videos, but not flash.

So you need to find a browser that does flash still. Firefox for Android still uses flash. And Dolphin will still work, but with a caveat; you must be running an older version of Android since it only works on Gingerbread and lower. Or you can download and run an older version of Dolphin on Android 4.0 +, but they disable flash completely on newer versions of their browser for performance reasons. You can find an older copy of the Dolphin .apk here:

But flash really doesn't work very well, and I've endured multiple app crashes with both Dolphin and Firefox. But I still need that flash fix so I found what at least works.
