[Kitkat][Nightlies] CM11 Android 4.4 for the Defy(+)

The first post of the thread, the one everyone is supposed to read. OP= Opening/Original Post. Quarx = Opening/Original Poster
That was my first guess, but wanted to check. I missed the "list of known bugs" link on the first read. I assumed the summary was it.
Thanks for the help.
The sites in question are already on html5I don't think these are "build-in"-players of the browser but rather from the website. All streamingservices used to play their videos via flashbased players. Those don't work with mobile devices anymore. All these sites are changing their service to html5-based players that work again on mobile devices. So opening videos with "build-in"-players is a feature, not a bug.
Opening videos with external players like mx player was a workaround for the flashproblem, that is no longer needed.
At least that's what I think. Might be totally wrong though
All i need is a workaround to play online videos in mx player..
If anyone know how to attain this, please do help me on this.

It doesn't matter. Titanium works fine.

Or the normal opera version, i dont know if it installs on 4.x android on the defy, but on my tablet it plays a lot of videos. And for the case you want to reduce data amount, you can turn on the rally mode

I worded that slightly wrong. I meant to say " Are web browsers supposed to use their own built in video players by default?" It's possible that there is an erroneous bit of code that either prevents or doesn't allow the use of external media players as an option. But I guess you would have to ask the kitkat/web browser devs these questions.I don't think these are "build-in"-players of the browser but rather from the website.

Not on ART, but you could read the description the Whatsapp developers gave on the Play Store here.
To make things REALLY easy for you, I could just quote it:
this works wonderfully good. no problems encountered so far except the wifi sometimes takes forever to get enabled. actually have to restart the phone to get it enabled. this is not always though. maybe once in a day. hope the bug gets solved soon
Confirm. Whatsap _150 running St ART.

I guess it's supposed to work that way. Desktopversions of streamingsites don't allow external players either.
I have some problems with 10/12 build.
First, i have a problem with some internet music players (not browser) like PVSTAR or even Spotify:
When i turn off the screen, the cpu go in deep sleep, and the audio got very stuttered...so i can't hear the music when i turn off the screen (except with Apollo). I did a search and it seems that the problem is related to the custom kernel. Anyone knows something about that?
Also, i have experienced some forced reboots by using some browsers in low memory condition (and/or cpu overload).

I didn't experience that, and I also use spotify, what I experience is the random reboots when I'm playing music for a long time
I face this every day. Like yesterday I started a play store download that was 12MB and then while it was downloading I started playing candy crush saga... two minutes into the game and it rebooted... same happens if the phone has not been restarted and am doing heavy browsing. Some large webpages cause the reboot. It's like common on 4.4.* so far.

My earlier post was in reference to this. Can't delete the past via the xda app.

I can say, as well, that kitkat will oddly reboot under heavy stress conditions. I have no way to confirm this but, it seems that when I use something like fmr memory cleaner, the reboots occur less often.

Download "Aerocontrol" by Blechd0se and set "Suspend_enabled 0", Interactive is capping the CPU to 300mhz when the screen is off with suspend enabled. You'll have to do this after every reboot as the "set on boot"-feature is bugged under kitkat atm.
