Why is Vkontakte not playing music on Android? Add your price to the base Comment
You may have noticed that there have been some strange problems in the past few months. We admit that just such a failure can affect the playback of music. For example, you went to the site, found a song, and then a failure occurs. As soon as you click on the Play button, nothing happens because there is no response from the server. All you have to do is wait for the problem to be resolved.
By the way, in isolated cases the problem may be with the server itself - for example, it is overloaded. In this case, the song can be played, but the download speed is extremely slow, and therefore the song will constantly stutter. In this case, you can wait, or you can search for the same song, but that it would be on another server (just turn it on and if it loads instantly, you are at the point).
Insufficient download speed
If your tariff has a relatively low download speed, then music can slow down, so to speak, when downloading. If the track has a high bitrate, then it will take much longer to run. In addition, do not forget that the workload of VK servers also affects the download speed of songs. How to be? Increase the speed, for example, by changing the tariff plan. If you simply do not have this opportunity, you will have to do so. so that the song is cached. What does it mean? Immediately after pressing the Play button, pause the melody and wait until the bar is completely full. Then the song will play completely and without stopping.
Outdated Flashplayer
Flashplayer is a program with the help of which all flash elements work on the site pages, such as: Advertising. Mini games. Video and audio. Various site functionality. It is clear that if it becomes out of date all this will stop working. ???? To update it, download the latest Flashplayer for free.
How to install Flash Player to play Vkontakte music?
Everything is very simple as always :). Follow the link http://get.adobe.com/ru/flashplayer/ and uncheck “Yes install Google Chrome”, if you need this browser, you can leave the checkmark. Then we click “Download”. A window will appear prompting you to save the installation file, but so that there would be less problems, click on "Run".
After the file is downloaded, its installation will begin immediately. We confirm it, if required, and continue installing the Flash player. Installation is very simple, as always, you just need to click “Next” several times, and at the end “Finish”.
After the installation is complete, close (although the Flash installer itself should have closed all browsers), and reopen the browser you are using. and try playing music or video on Vkontkte. Working? Fine!
Virus infection
Viruses are a very common problem among users of the Vkontakte social network. Clean your computer with any antivirus you know.
Clearing the cache
Cache is Internet pages, together with pictures, videos and other elements stored on your computer, to speed up page loading. An error may appear, for this you need to clear the cache.
Opera
To clear the cache and history in Opera, select the "Options" line in the "Tools" menu. Then, in the "Additional" tab, select the "History" line. To clear the history and cache, you must click the corresponding "Clear" buttons. Here you can also configure automatic cleaning of message history, cache and their sizes.
Browser error
No one will have any problems with this item: just install and turn on another browser.
Track titles are too long
This is your situation if you are using the standard Android audio player. The fact is that it does not play files with too long names (more than 10-12 characters). Just rename the tracks and you should be good to go.
Antivirus is blocking the download
This is theoretically possible - the screen built into the antivirus blocks the transfer of music from the VK. The problem is that it is not so easy to make sure of this, because you will need to turn off all the screens at AB. If, after turning off the screens (that is, after temporarily disabling the antivirus), a sound appears, then the matter is definitely in AB.
What to do? Just add the VKontakte address to the list of exclusions of your antivirus. It is very easy to do this through the settings (for example, "Settings" - "Antivirus" - "Exceptions"). Add http://vk.com to the list of exclusions and click OK.
Unfortunately, this method has one bad feature - now the screens will stop functioning for the address http://vk.com, which in turn can lead to the fact that a malicious file gets on your computer if, for example, you go to an unknown the link that your friend allegedly sent you (but in fact - the attackers who stole your friend's account). So be careful - you perform all actions solely at your own peril and risk.
conclusions
Why doesn't VKontakte music work on my phone? This problem most often occurs if the user visits the site from a built-in browser that does not have a built-in flash player. Namely, the lack of Flash is, as a rule, the reason why music on the phone does not play and video does not play online. Install Flash player on your device and the problem will be solved. The most popular is the proven Adobe Flash Player, which can be downloaded from the official Adobe website. However, it is not supported by Android versions higher than 4.0. In this case, choose the best Flash player in Google Play for your performance.
You can also download another browser that has a built-in flash player (Opera, Google Chrome, UC Browser, Dolphin Browser, Maxthon Browser), or use the VK application to enter VKontakte not through the browser. Both browsers and the VK application can be downloaded from the Google Play store.
If all the above methods did not help and you still could not understand why it does not play music on the phone, you will have to resort to radical measures - hard reset, reset settings or reflash your device. It is better to do this in a service center in order to save yourself from the risk of harming your smartphone.
