Flash update!!!!!

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I was one of the brave consumers who believed in Google TV when it came out on 
Logitech revue.  I still use it and am grateful for the past software upgrades, 
but now I need flash player 11.  Websites like PBS.org now require flash player 
11....please auto-update the built in Chrome so that it will download and 
install adobe flash player 11, otherwise my wife will get Very Upset when 
Downton Abbey returns to PBS this fall and she can't watch it!

Most of websites and YouTube videos requires flash update, there is no use with 
current flash version. Please update the flash version.

HBOGo does not require Flash 11 update. It's currently having a known issue and 
will be addressed soon.

I'm getting more and more situations on YouTube with my GTV in which videos 
won't play - and instead I get a message that I need to update my Flash. Here's 
a link to an example:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Q5LJeNtXTw&feature=player_embedded

One would think that out of all the web sites in the whole wide world - YouTube 
would be the ONE web site that Google would want to run in an excellent manner 
with GTV. No?

In case you haven't noticed GTV is not selling well (primarily because of a 
lack of content). Content is king. How does the situation of more and more good 
videos on YouTube not working with GTV (see example in link above) benefit the 
GTV platform?

"HBOGo does not require Flash 11 update. It's currently having a known issue 
and will be addressed soon."

I've been trying to figure this out for two weeks and this is the only mention 
of a known issue that I can find anywhere on the internet.  It's shocking how 
unsupported the GTV format is.  I've spoken with Comcast, HBO, Sony and 
Logitech and no one has a clue what's going on.  Now I just wish I knew how 
soon this would be addressed so I can finish The Wire!

RE: HBOGo... I figured out a work around that has worked on two movies I have 
tried so far.

I use the "TV and Movies" app by issuing a search for what I'm wanting to watch 
and then selecting the Title that has the "TV and Movies" app icon next to it 
in the search list.  From there it brings up pictures and info about the movie 
and usually has a "Watch" button.  When I press the watch button I am presented 
a list of all my possibile vendors that googleTv knows about (like: NetFlix, 
HBOGo, DirecTv, Amazon Instant Video, etc)  When HBOGo is in the list of 
vendors  I select it and off it goes... you have to login to HBOGo.  I've 
attached screen caps of the experience (without showing the search step)

Hope it helps

can you kindly let us know why an update to flash 11 is not feasible?

I am getting the same problem with unable to access any Rogers Anyplace TV on 
demande videos with message "Update to Adobe Flash 10.3".  My Sony NSZ GS7 GTV 
Chrome Flash version is 10.2 under OS 3.2. I did lots of ridiculous searches 
with no result.  I totally agree with previous comments.  Sony and Google dev 
department should provide a a revised Chrome update with flash ver. 11 and 
Silverlight. I am impatient and planning to buy something that will work with 
flash.

You will need to take up the issue with Adobe. Please refer to:

Does Google have any plans to integrate Adobe Air with Google TV in light of 
Adobe's decision to no longer support Flash updates on Android mobile? I just 
bought my Sony player and it'll be worthless as more content providers require 
Flash 11 or higher.

I have a Sony Google TV. I can basically do nothing with it anymore. Paid $1000 
for it 1 year ago BECAUSE it was an internet TV, the things I was told I could 
do with it I couldn't aside from going online. Now the rest is pretty useless 
too! My kids can't even play PBS game because flash is no longer supported. 
Sony's response? "sorry, nothing we can do about it" WHAT??? Anything anyone 
knows of to resolve these issues would be greatly appreciated! I feel massively 
ripped off!

I was able to get HBO go and Crackle to work on chrome by sideloading a hacked 
version of adobe flash 11.apk and installing it. Then I just go to crackle .com 
or hbogo.com and watch movies. Other websites now show the videos which didn't 
before. The issue I'm having now is I would like to update Chrome so that I can 
install Chrome apps from the chrome webstore and I wouldn't have to go the 
website crackle because the app would be install on the browser. Hopefully an 
update will fix this.

until a few days ago. Google changed their web pages and now Flash version icon 
is gone. Called LG support and was told that Google was going to work on that 
problem. Has anyone else experienced this problem? I'm pretty pissed off. Paid 
$1,400 for that TV. It is is useless now.

Ditto to all above. I have been a real Sony fan but this google tv has turned 
out to be a disappointment. I have dish and can't watch the movies or on demand 
stuff. I have to use my 4 year old laptop. Something really wrong with that.

I also contacted Sony about their Sony internet/Google TV player's flash 
player. The man I talked to said there was NO WAY to update the flash player 
because it is built into the player. Lots of Canadian websites also don't work 
for me due to them up grading to a newer version of flash player... I bought 2 
of these and I regret it. I wasted $500.00for the two. Sony is a dead end 
company, they knew that systems update and I believe this player was just a 
money grab. They work in technology, they know how it changes and took 
advantage of us consumers by putting out, out dated software. There probably 
going to come out with a new one and expect us to have to buy it. Sony is dead 
to me, I had faith id Google, but how could they sign off on songs product when 
its so inferior? I font know what to think, I'm disappointed and I feel like I 
wasted a lot of money on a worthless system that is dead technology...

If anyone knows how to jail break this system pleas let me know. There has to 
be a way to change and update the flash player. If people can jail break 
iPhones and ps3's this Google Sony internet player should be easy. Email me if 
you have a way around this, Sony has no ways to fix this and I know there are 
smart people out there who can fix this problem for all of us who wasted our 
money on this product. It was good, but needs some help from real people who 
know how to get things done. Thanks. desirae_m21@hotmail.com.

only way I found around this is to purchase at best buy a converter then you 
can watch online streamed movies from anywhere I have dish and my streamed 
movies could not be viewed after the converter I could watch dish anywhere but 
it sucked having my laptop connected to my google tv that's why I bought this 
tv but without dish sling or converter I wouldn't buy this tv if that's all you 
want it for but otherwise I like the tv in general

I got sucked in buying this Sony product, the internet playerNSG-MR7U.
It is shameful that those products are still being offered. The browser chrome 
with the embedded flash player is out of date and should have bee updated long 
time ago.This renders this product practically useless.
Shame on Google,Sony,LG and others deceiving the consumers.
I shall never buy any products from them again!

I am having an issue where Adobe Flash player constantly crashes and needs to 
be reloaded. Is there a fix for this problem where Shockwave randomly crashes 
without explanation or rhyme or reason? It makes the product completely 
unusable and makes me want to buy a replacement product I dare say maybe an 
Apple TV or an LG TV. But Flash continually crashing is not acceptable and is 
seriously infuriating and makes me want to reset the device back to factory 
defaults. But I must back up data first or else it's permanently lost and it 
will take a long time to restore everything back. Please address this Flash 
player crashing problem Logitech and all will be normal again. Thank you.

If Shockwave keeps crashing, then I will be selling the Logitech Revue and 
probably be buying an LG TV instead and never buy Logitech again in my life.

Shockwave crashed again! Why does this keep occurring? I am almost ready to 
give up on this Revue because of a random and severe problem like this. Please 
get it fixed Logitech! It is damaging my faith and trust in a good product that 
should have never developed a random Shockwave plugin crash like this which is 
insane. It never used to do this, why isn't this fixed at all Logitech or 
Adobe? Anyway, please fix this problem. Thanks again.

The date is January 1, 2015 I use the Logitech Revue Firmware 3.2 Build 
21009.114346 on an LG connected by HDMI. The version of Chrome to TV Version 
2.3.0 and the system says it is up to date.  Web sites like CBS and CNN and 
others who use flash files to play video crash Google Chrome today still. So, 
the Revue is a dead product is this correct?  There is no plan to fix the 
broken after what appears to be two years. If you know a work around, let me 
know.
