Flash Player for Videos

Mark Baker Asked 11 years ago
I am unable to watch many of the videos because my droid RAZR m cell phone does not support flash player. Do u know of any other downloads which would allow me to watch the videos? I like to watch them during my workouts.

Hi Mark,
All the downloads are in mp4 format, so anything that can play that should be fine. I know that the iPhone/iPad can play these and a lot of Android phones seem to be able to also. On the computer the VLC Media player is a good choice.
Does anyone else have some suggestions for Mark on how to watch the downloaded PingSkills videos on his cell phone?

Sometimes it can seem like a player can do everything. When this is the case you need to find their weakest area and try to expose it as much as you can.

Thanks, I can watch most of the videos on my phone, but for example, one that I can't watch is "Advanced Forehand Topspin". It tell me that flash version 9,0 or greater is required but my phone does not support adobe flash player.

Alois/Jeff,
The optimal solution for this problem would be switching to an HTML5 player on pingskills.com from the the good old flash player. Here's a free, open-source and customizable HTML 5 player that supports subtitles and runs on all Windows/Apple/Android platforms:

This would definitely be worth a try.
Apart from this technical issue the site and the especially the content is great, congrats!
All the best,
Gabor

I just joined PingSkills, and was looking forward to watching this week's video[0], but am unfortunately unable to do so. In order to watch it, I must apparently install Adobe Flash Player. But I cannot, with a clear conscience, install proprietary software[1].
So I really hope you can switch to an HTML5 solution. And don't hesitate to contact me with inquiries about this! :-]
