Watching videos on android tablet
Nov 24th, 2014 at 10:54pm
 
Phones, and tablets are becoming a must now a days, and they mostly run android OS, I would like to be able to watch the video tutorials on my phone or tablet without having to run to my desktop, is there a way to do so? also, is there a way to open the pico files trough the site(I also like to use my phone to read the treads here)?

Sorry.  You need to use a PC that can run PicoScope to be able to open the PicoScope data files.

The tutorials are done with flash.  Android doesn't support Flash anymore.  I can watch the tutorials on the forums with my Android phone but that is because I found a flash installer that was for an earlier Android OS and installed it.  Worked fine.  I could not begin to tell you how exactly I did that now.  It was a bit of a hack for me.

Sorry to hear that, let's hope they'll do something about that (if android is listening Wink)
Is there any way around this.

If someone has an iOS device they can view the flash movies through a Puffin browser app. The free version lets you watch flash files during off peak hours whenever that is, but I've only ran into that once.
