Tablet that would stream greyhounds live?

[Deleted member 2457]

My dad is watching them on the racing post and would like to stream them on a tablet, but his LG pad tablet won't do it, any ideas which tablet would?

Cheers.

He wants to stream them live on the Racing Post channel. Cheers.

I think it has something to do with the Adobe reader, on his LG pad it doesn't work, and says this device can't download it. Is there a device which will allow it? Cheers.

You mean Adobe Flash player (Reader displays pdf files). The latest version of Android has dropped Flash support but unfortunately there's still a ton of websites that still use it for video, although Paul will be along any minute to tell you that nobody uses it any more so it doesn't cause any trouble at all for all the iPad owners who have not been missing Flash support for years now.

Although there are several workarounds to install/get flash working on Android.

I notice there is an app for Racing Post, though it requires sideloading and dunno if it does streaming

Can you not install Chrome on the LG to then stream what he wants?

Chrome for Android doesn't package flash into it like the desktop versions.

I believe there is/was some Firefox based browser that did in the play store, but can't remember what its called and never used it.

Cheers for the post guys. I was thinking like a Microsoft one or Nexus 9? I guess I still have a problem though?

Not if the webpage is also using Flash.

You can also do it using the Dolphin browser but it involves installing a hacked version of Flash (only hacked to allow KitKat to install it), so slightly dubious.

Any Windows RT or 8.1 tablet will do it. Or a cheap as chips used or NOS Blackberry Playbook.
