Watching Movies and TV - Running Android: Using Your Phone and Tablet for Work and Play - page 95

Controls and a progress bar at the bottom of the screen let you play and pause, adjust the
volume, fast-forward or jump to a different place, change video resolution, and switch to
full screen. You can exit from full screen mode by pressing the ESC key at any time.
Downloading a Video to Watch Offline
As mentioned earlier, you can download movies and TV shows and that you've bought or
rented to your phone or tablet and watch them when you don't have an Internet connection.
To do this, find the video you wish to download in My Movies & TV on the Play Movies
app, then tap the small gray Pin icon to start the download. During the download, the Pin
icon starts to fill in with red. You can check the download progress by swiping down from
the notification area at the upper left corner of the screen.
Once a video has been downloaded, the Pin icon turns red. To delete a video or stop the
download, tap the Pin icon and confirm that you wish to stop or delete.
Netflix
If you have a Netflix account, you can watch streamed movies and TV shows from Netflix.
All you need to do is install the free Netflix app ( http://bit.ly/1aPNDy1 ).
Flash Video
Flash video is no longer supported by Adobe and the Chrome browser. The easiest way to
watch flash video on Android is to install Photon Flash Player and Browser ( http://bit.ly/

stantly nags you to upgrade to the premium version for $9.95 per year.
Puffin ( http://bit.ly/1cy3mTZ ) is another alternative. The free version lets you watch Flash
video for a 14 day trial period. To continue watching Flash after that you'll have to upgrade
to the paid version (currently $2.99). Unlike Photon Flash Player, this is a one-time charge.
I suggest you try Puffin to see if it meets your needs.
Yet another way to enable Flash is to install the Adobe Flash app and a supported browser.
This is an unauthorized app, so to install it, open Settings, then open Security, and turn on
Unknown Sources.
On your device, open a browser and go to this link: http://adobe.ly/173UyBP . Scroll down
to “Archived Flash Player versions for developers“ and continue down to “Flash Player for
