    Still No Flash Player

    So this here entertainment system that can control your T.V, even take voice commands. But i still cant play a facebook game on facebook through my Xbox One or browse any other videos or similar things that need a flash player.

    Why not i understood the 360 couldnt handle it for what ever reasons but knowing people wanted it did you really leave it off or out for xbox one ?

  7. Not Having Flash Player on Xbox 1 is a Serious downfall, I agree. If you have no problem without it then how do you watch tv online?? there is only a fraction of what is available on other devices, call me old fasioned but if I dont have to pay for things
    like hulu then im not going to. TV should be free, I asure you there are plenty of bloody adds. Why should I pay for tv on xbox when I can plug my computer in and get it for free?

    [quote user="Taddered Corps"]Not Having Flash Player on Xbox 1 is a Serious downfall, I agree.[/quote]Way to resurrect a six month old thread. If you have a suggestion for Microsoft, post it at

    If it's a good site, it supports HTML5 video. If it's not, Chrome.
    That has nothing to do with Flash, that has to do with Hulu locking out playback on anything other than a PC unless you have Hulu Plus.
    Most of the TV I watch has no ads. Pay-for cable programming lacks ads. Shows on Netflix and Amazon Instant Video have no ads. The only pay-for service I know of that has ads is Hulu Plus.
    Because Hulu mandates it. Hulu Plus is a Hulu thing, not a Microsoft thing. Even if there was Flash support on Xbox One, Hulu wouldn't work.

  9. I heard that the Internet was phasing out Flash for something newer and better. So, if that's why it doesn't have Flash, then I'm okay with that.

    It's most likely to do with security issues. You need internet security software, a firewall, or a really good operating system, before having flash. And M is quite strict in protecting their Xbox Live network and making sure only clean consoles have access
    to the service. Xbox 1 is a console, not a PC.

  11. Thanks, I appreciate your reply, I am in Australia and we dont get alot of those apps like Hulu and the ones we get are pretty bare. I guess we have just been let down alittle by the app designers, although there are afew websites popping up to fill the
    void. Sorry if this has already been explained but, why is it alright to plug my computer into the tv but not to use the xbox for the same purpose

    With Flash it's easier for the console to get a virus/Trojan, etc. That's probably why Adobe and Microsoft haven't put it onto Xbox 1. Have never heard of an Xbox 360 having a virus. And am sure Microsoft doesn't want this situation on Xbox 1 either.

    Adobe want to get rid of flash, the internet is slowly turning over to html5, flash is a system hog, unreliable, a gaping security hole and a waste of time. Adobe already said 2 years ago that they will not be making flash for most devices including consoles.
    Time to let it go.

    Hey there!

    Unfortunately, you can't play flash content on the Xbox browser and it is unlikely there will be an update for it's inclusion.

    Flash is being replaced for newer web technologies, namely HTML5 (which is supported by the Xbox so you can view things such as YouTube). This will take a few years however to become the standard.

    Also, this is more of a suggestion than something supports help would be needed for. There is a forum for suggestion located

    here
    if you wish to post more suggestions
