The link you are using isn't a direct link. This site also uses Flash. Try to use WebView instead.

Add this line to the manifest editor:

B4X:

SetApplicationAttribute(android:hardwareAccelerated, "true")

It is possible that WebView doesn't support this page. Does it work in the Android browser?

The video you have is a YouTube video, then use the YouTube app to play it, like this:

B4X:

Dim PlayVideo As Intent

PlayVideo.Initialize(PlayVideo.ACTION_VIEW, "vnd.youtube:O62XahGc5g4") 
PlayVideo.PutExtra("VIDEO_ID", "O62XahGc5g4")
            
StartActivity(PlayVideo)

By the way, your video takes forever to load.

Hi NJdude!
Your Solution works just fine; on my device it didn't take too long, if that happen I'd get it back and play it again, but that's what happen in my device.
Best Regards!
