Topic: E621 Vids On Mobile?

Posted under e621 Tools and Applications

So... I was wondering if there was a way that I could view the videos here from mobile. For the record I have tried the mobile version of the site (same results as normal). I'm on an older ipod touch and running normal safari for what it's worth.

Don't judge. I have my reasons.

You could try the vlc (videolan player), that thing is apparently try available for iPod touch and should be able to play any existing format.

For Flash files:

  • Puffin is pretty popular and I see it recommended as the go-to iOS Flash player by a lot of people. I've never used it myself, but you can apparently use it for free with limited hours, with 6 month subscriptions that are paid ($0.99).
  • Photon, which is expensive but it's a one-time purchase if you prefer that. It's been pretty solid for me on my older devices, but it has a terrible interface. Might be worth considering as a fallback if you absolutely need/want the occasional Flash file.

Just note that since these programs are essentially a glorified video stream (unless Puffin does it differently) performance may be lackluster. They work well enough for the occasional interactive animation but I wouldn't expect to play any games with them.
