Skyfire on Desire? Has anyone tried it yet?

[Guest JonnyRockets]

Is anyone else getting just a full white screen when trying to view a video?

Tried it on abc.com, colbernation.com, nbc.com, and it's always just a huge white screen.

Anyone else successfully loaded videos? If so, what site?

Here's what my screen looks like (and I can hear the sound playing perfectly, just no video):

I tried it out, but its very unstable and crashes a lot. Anyways when it works its cool and able to play most videos.

Works fine for me, plays Any video no probs so far. No crashes yet and I've been playing over an hour!

Just given it a try, seems to work ok for me! Video on Vimeo is working atleast anyway :huh:

works spot on here. got white screen on some sites but video still loaded. remember to view vids you have to hit video button located bottom left of skyfire brower. click on mini preview that pops up and skyfire will download and play video even with white screen. it crashed once so far but on a whole works rather well. its beta so that is expected but its a major step to making android a multimedia powerhouse. all we need now is corecodec coreplayer and we have a full set. winmo is well and truly being crucified! wp7 wont dent android rise at all just make winmo death slower and more painful!

Damn, looks like this is an issue with the Nexus One Desire ROM then.

I've noticed though, the only way to exit the app is to press the Home button... Back won't go completely back, and pressing Menu doesn't show any close or exit options either... The app will remain in memory till its closed via task manager or android itself when the RAM is running low...

Just keep the back button pressed for a second or two: you'll get a "Please Confirm Exit" dialog box. :huh:

Managed to see some videos (this part works ok), but also had a few crashes. Doesn't seem very stable yet...

I'm really enjoying this browser. It's faster than xscope in my opinion, I've been using it the past few days heavily. Every video I wanted to play it worked. I've noticed though that you need to wait for the screen to stop loading without touching it, then if there's a video on that particular screen, wait for the dialog box to open and then press play. If you don't do this, occasionally the video won't allow you to play. Selecting the video icon at the bottom of the screen is not 100 percent way of getting those videos to play I've found. Just wait for the box to open by itself once the webpage has fully rendered. Then your golden. Its on one or two occasions kicked me out of the browser when I've tried to scroll before the page has loaded.

Great browser though and quick as hell!
