Title: Anyone here using a Kindle to surf Rocks Off ?
Post by Edith Grove on Jan 19^th, 2014 at 2:27pm

I'm on a Kindle Fire HDX and trying without success to look at YouTube videos on Rocks Off.
Seems that I can only see videos on the mobile version of YouTube's site, but not those posted on Rocks Off.

Tried solutions offered on Kindle message boards to no avail.

Has anyone here figured this out, or are videos posted here simply not compatible with the Silk browser that comes with a Kindle?

I don't have a kindle or any tablet/reader...but have you tried to remove old versions of Flash and/or java? They are usually not removed with updates.
Then reinstall the current versions.

Let me know if this works.

Thanks, but this is a brand-new Kindle. Never had anything else installed.

I'm thinking the web browser (Silk) just doesn't support the video format as it's posted on message boards.
It can only play the mobile versions.
