Videos "error loading player: no playable sources found"

[miiitchhh]

Hello... I've been struggling with this problem since early this morning.

I did a factory reset before i sent my Nexus 7 in for RMA repair.

Before I did the reset, i was able to open Chrome browser, go to my favorite video site, click a video, click the "play" symbol on the video and it would open in BS Player. Every type of video worked, wmv/flv... etc...

Now, Im trying to get back to that point, but the most videos on the site prompt me with the "error loading player: no playable sources found" error.

I tried the PCAdvisor guide from May 6th 2014 to install the KitKat Flash Player/using Dolphin to view it. But only SOME videos work - For example; the wmv files do not work.

I KNOW it worked flawlessly on thousands of videos before i did the factory reset, and i've tried everything to get it back to that.
I want to use the chrome browser im used to, not some other browser. I would like to use BS Player (because im used to it) but i would change to another free player if it worked with chrome.

The other thing i'll mention is - the videos that do work (none work in chrome... only some work in dolphin which i dont want to use..) play inside the browser - they dont ask "what program do you want to use to open this file" (where i would normally choose BS Player)

Please advise.

Since Flash files are .swf files, Flash Player won't help you with .wmv files.

Chrome doesn't do Flash. There may be plugins for Chrome to do other files, but it won't do Flash video. (Google's decision.)

Set BS Player as your default video app (use Default App Manager to change the default if you don't know how to change whatever is set in there now.) Make sure that you HAVE BS video player in the phone first. If you don't, install it before you try to set it as the default. (You can't choose a program that's not installed.) It sounds as if Chrome is set as your default video player (which it really shouldn't be even if it played all the files you wanted to play - it's like buying a movie theater to watch a 5 minute Youtube video).
