A few questions

Hello,

First of all, thanks to aDEO and everybody else for all of the work which you have done with this tool. You have put in so much time and effort and it is really really appreciated. I downloaded fixOperaFlash and ran the tool for Opera Mobile 10 Final. I followed all of the instructions and it didn't have any errors so I think that everything went OK. I just have a few questions which, hopefully, some of the people who are more knowledgeable and have more experience can answer.

To test the the flash, I went to htc.com, dailymotion.com and break.com. On the HTC website, it looked like everything displayed, so I'm assuming that was a good sign. Next, I went to dailymotion.com and opened a 25 second video (I wanted something that could be downloaded really quickly; more on that later). I'm happy to say that I was able to watch the video. Unfortunately, when I went to break.com, I was not able to watch the video. My first question is does the flash only work on some sites and not others? Is there any way, other than trial and error to know which sites will work and which won't?

This is more of an observation, really. I have been using Skyfire to watch flash videos on various sites. Generally, the videos load pretty fast. I know that this is because it is using a proxy server rather than downloading the whole flash video to my phone and then playing it. I hadn't considered this before I started and I think that, for speed reasons, I might continue to use Skyfire. However, it has been fun trying to get flash going. Has anybody else noticed the speed of downloading flash in Opera Mobile vs. Skyfire or do your videos load pretty quickly?

I remember reading earlier in the thread that if you have turbo mode enabled you will not be able to watch flash videos. I have enabled turbo mode and I am still able to watch flash videos. I am wondering if turbo mode is "broken" because the pages do not seem to be loading very turbo. :confused: Does anyone know what is going on?

I have noticed that many of the sites which I go to display the mobile version of the page, for example Bing and Gmail. In Skyfire, IE Mobile and earlier versions of Opera, I just unchecked an option that said something to the effect of "hint for mobile version of page" and I was able to view the regular version of a website. Since this option appears to have been removed from the main Opera Mobile 10 settings, I went on their forums and saw that I need to change a setting in the Opera.ini file called Custom User-Agent. Currently this setting is set to "HTC_TOUCH_Pro2_T7373 Opera/10.00." The forums say that I need to change it to "Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 6.1; U; en) Presto/2.2.15 Version/10.10" so that the page will be displayed normally. I remember that the fixOperaFlash tool does something with a User Agent property so I wanted to find out if changing this setting will screw something up.

Does anybody know where the flash videos are downloaded to? Will clearing the cache get rid of them?

I know that this is a long post, but as I've been experimenting with this, I've been wondering about this stuff. Hopefully somebody can help me out with the answers. :) Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Regards,

John
