I couldn't honestly say, but I think flash is included - I notice the browser takes up 100 MB! It seems a bit slow in loading videos but once loaded, it plays very well suggesting it is not a cloud based system?
Oddly enough, I had an issue last night when I accessed CBS in USA using flashfox. I use smartdns from Overplay to bypass US geolocking, but when I tried to play a video, it failed to work.
I then reloaded Flash back onto my Moto G, and then I was able to access the CBS videos using the original android browser (which you now have to download), or (really strangely) Flashfox.
So Flashfox does not seem fully compatible when using smartdns geo-location type systems.
Intestingly, I has a similar issue with STV (set up with Scottish postcode etc) that it would not load UK videos (even with flash) when using smartdns. Once I set my system back to standard DNS e.g. google 8.8.8.8 it worked ok.
ITVPlayer worked though with or without smartDNS though.
So it is hard to get a one solution catches all.
