You are insisting on something that has been disproven, though. Just because
devices that cannot stream Flash have to get special treatment DOES NOT say
that device that can stream Flash are also getting special treatment or
special scrutiny. They aren't. I've given you any number of sources that
explain that if Flash is installed, in any device, that device will stream
all videos available for PCs. So, you are adding up two and two, and getting
six for the answer.
Sorry, but I still don't agree. To be completely fair the Yahoo info was
specific to how it handles web browsing across PCs and mobile devices, not to
Yahoo View. No doubt you can trick any device into running Flash and
identifying itself as a PC. But hardly anyone bothers...
My bet is that Flash and several other choices are met without further ado,
by the servers, if they are available in the device. There is no evidence to
suggest otherwise, anywhere, and I have done tests to prove that Flash is the
preferred protocol, the default choice.
This is likely true for Yahoo View, which just provides access to Hulu servers,
as multiple articles explain. But Yahoo has been quite outspoken about NOT
supporting Flash, as I documented earlier in this thread.
I gave up on Flash a long time ago.
Well then, don't accuse the content sources of blocking you, when you are
blocking yourself! The only issue here is that you're inventing a conspiracy
that simply doesn't exist. And insist and insist and insist.
Sorry, but there are too many examples of content owners blocking specific
devices to ignore. The decision to drop Flash may still be an issue for a few
sites, but it is largely irrelevant today.
This is rubbish.
No, rubbish is your are stubborn cluelessness. There is NO QUESTION that
setting up all your mirrored servers, for every proprietary protocol, takes
time. That's obvious. Standards exist for a reason, When special interests
deliberately don't use standards, they can expect a delay in service.
But your "special interests" DO use standards. It is a few sites that are still
hanging onto proprietary technology like Flash.
There is no logical way you can deny the obvious. So again, it just stop.
Why. You deny the obvious all the time...
Flash is MUCH CLOSER TO DYING than tablets...
