It's superb for downloading ones I like and you can choose to just play them w/o downloading them, but choice of file type and quality/size is ice and the reliability of it + the library, now easily accessible via Amazon's own Photos tab.<br /><br /> But Amazon itself plays youtube fine now and maybe I should change the text title (vs link-words, which i can't change) to "flash-heavy sites" or something.<br /><br /> Have watched C-Span through the US-TV app, which I used for CNN a lot before CNN itself did a live CNN stream app, which is now on Amazon too. <br /><br /> FireTV apps need something extra. Amazon announced plans months ago with HBO for its HBO-Go on the Fire TV when it already had it available for its Kindle Fire tablets (and I just mirror'd it instead). <br /><br /> It took until this last week for HBO Go to be ready on the Fire TV and it won't be ready on the Stick until Spring. They put that into a PR announcement... <br /><br /> So medici.tv probably has to do something special that makes it work well with the Fire TV. But I WILL ask them if they ever plan to do it<br />. The one in the Amazon appstore is compatible only with my Samsung and not even with the Kindle Fire tablets.<br /> It has to be done from their side. It obviously means extra work, but Amazon's crowd is now a good-sized one.<br />It may have something to do with their being European based that they've put lower priority on it... I should download it anyway and see how it functions on the KF tablets.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-9114206988743971232014-12-22T12:17:21.309-08:002014-12-22T12:17:21.309-08:00Note that there is an official YouTube app availab...Note that there is an official YouTube app available in the Amazon Appstore and it is directly available for Fire (at least 3rd or 4th gen, but not 1st gen). There is also one for Fire TV and Stick.<br /><br />C-Span.org is another Flash video site that is unlikely to ever have an official mobile app on any platform, given that they are supported by cable companies. It also seems unlikely they'd switch to HTML5 video, even though there is no DRM concern with their content.<br /><br />Medici.tv. Wonder why their app isn't available for Fire/FireTV? It's in the appstore... As you are a subscriber, it might be interesting to ask them why...<br /><br />Tom Semplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05127272649086914117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-25158095743199742062014-06-04T18:22:47.166-07:002014-06-04T18:22:47.166-07:00Tara, yes, if they pop up a note saying java's...Tara, yes, if they pop up a note saying java's required, it's not going to be something we can add components for onto our tablets.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-67648636171137408682014-03-27T06:31:56.122-07:002014-03-27T06:31:56.122-07:00Jamie -- a typo.

Sorry I didn't get back for a reply sooner. <br />-- Yes, you can go to Apps at the top menu and sort the apps by either 'Recent' or 'Title' -- then LONG-Press the app you want and you can choose to add it to "Favorites" which you will find right under the Carousel and accessible by pressing the STAR icon on the tablet-toolbar on the right (if you're in Landscape) or on the bottom (if you're veiwing in Portrait mode).<br /><br /> You can press the Star on the toolbar menu at anytime -- even when reading a book or playhing a game and choose a favorite and run it and then the Kindle will return you to what you were doing when you pressed the Favorites star-icon. Few people know about this task- or app-'switching' we could do on the HD, as it is described in the User's Guide but not in marketing materials.<br /><br /> -- You do the same with the 1mobile app. Let me know if this was clear enough and you are able to have both showing on your Home page's hidden "Favorites" (or if it didn't work for you).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-7414569140570141042013-11-24T23:21:37.624-08:002013-11-24T23:21:37.624-08:00lilblackmonster - Am about to revise that Flash en...lilblackmonster - Am about to revise that Flash entry, as the Flash player file linked to at XDA now is accessible only at a couple of sites that have questionable pages, one that makes you give a credit card, and one that shows porn-style pics (which some visitors won't mind). And I found that the newer Dolphin didn't work for me on the HDX as well as an earlier Dolphin version does <br /> -- HOWEVER, the Flash offerings that don't work for the HDX are pretty much the same ones that don't work for the HD now, and the ones I've encountered are the TV Full Episode channels that have put out APPS for their full episodes (which work well) and have done something to disable Flash on the Full Episode web pages when accessed with mobile devices, EVEN when we stipulate via Dolphin that we're "Desktop" users rather than Android, which worked before the special Full Episode apps were released.<br /> -- The good thing is that the apps are availlable and work on the HDX. And these are for CBS and NBC (we're used to having WatchABC, which has been greatly improved).<br /> -- Both are at 1mobile but you have to make sure to get the actual CBS and NBC ones -- they'll have the larger number of downloads among their groups that include imitators. ALL of these are on GooglePlay as well, so you have to sift no matter what store you download from.<br /><br /> Let me know if you find others that don't work on the HDX while working on the HD. The HD no longer works on the full-episode pages either. It's an intentional block of some kind -- the flash for the ADs preceding them work fine of course :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-77540965915847381592013-11-23T21:08:56.272-08:002013-11-23T21:08:56.272-08:00Hello!

I sometimes ask people to go to Adobe archives to pick it up.<br /><br /> But XDA developers watch over the whole scene and pay attention to Nexus users' complaints.
