[VIDEO] Hulu Fix for CM9 Android on the HP Touchpad - TouchPad General

Some content like the Modern Family on their homepage does freeze after the adds using ICS+ browser.
http://www.hulu.com/watch/332079/modern-family-virgin-territory
That same video played in Maxthon for tabs plays but it is choppy. It doesn't freeze. "The Middle" was choppy in Max too. Didn't try in ICS+. I don't have time to test today.
Other content does play smooth. Not sure what the difference is between that Modern Family and others that play smooth. I dont use Hulu plus.
I'm not looking for support. I saw that others have posted comments on the youtube site about freezing. I just thought I would point it out in case others post about this problem.

Works great...now has anyone been able to get HBO GO to work?

I would think that this fix would also help with HBO Go.

Screen keeps blanking out- Hulu on Touchpad CM9
Hello Reverend,
First of all, I must say your videos are very detailed and easy for a non-techie like myself to understand! Thanks.
Last night, following your instructions, I successfully updated my touchpad to finally view Hulu (reference: [VIDEO] Hulu Fix for CM9 Android on the HP Touchpad)..herein lies the problem...
When I enlarge the screen, the video portion goes blank after about three seconds, but the audio remains on. Is there something I need to adjust? Please help. It's great to watch Hulu, but a small screen is not the best way. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
mark

Works...
Can confirm screen goes black for a second or so leaving the audio running so A/V becomes barely noticably off sync..
Good find though..
thanks OP.. uh Rev..
=o)

Thank you, Rev. It worked for me using root explorer and no PC.

HBO GO
I wish it did work with HBO GO but I get the same Message upon starting the AP non supported version of android. Hope someone can solve this. Netflix, Hulu, Crackle all work great. Just not HBO GO...

This. We need ics_hulu_flash_hack11.1.112.61 because ics_hulu_flash_hack11.1.115.7 isn't working.

ics_hulu_flash_hack11.1.115.7 works fine here with the latest flash and browser in desktop mode. Follow the directions in Rev's video .

Well I get that too and I have AdFree installed. You just have to wait until the timer counts down. There is a little timer at the top of the video. It should say
Ad 1 of 2 00:30
Then
Ad 2 of 2 00:30
Wait until they are done and it should play. You wont see any ad.
I do notice that it sometimes gets stuck on 00:01. Just try again.

lol thanks i saw that and was like omg it's not working. Trying to set this up for my mom and thanks!

using the browser, if I go to HBO Go's website it doesn't give me an option to log in. I must download the app which isn't supported yet.
Download dolphin HD browser, set to desktop mode, and pretend it's the HBO go app. Streams flawlessly, and you can go full screen mode.

HBO Go works fine from the stock browser. about:debug, goto Settings in browser, Advanced, UAString, change to Desktop. I'm able to watch everything on HBO Go without a hitch. I don't understand how people are having problems with this. Works and looks great. Loving Game of Thrones.

Not sure either, I use task manager to kill all running apps, I don't have any live wallpapers running. Quality is good for a few minutes then becomes choppy and drops to like 1 fps.
Is your connection any good? Run a speed test.

Consider rooting and then getting autokiller to manage memory for you. I was idling at 80-120MB ram (which is **** because there is 750MB dedicated to the user space). With taskiller I am able to keep ~280MB free on average. I can watch youtube justin.tv hulu hbo go and other streams @720p quite easily without any chopiness. Also make sure you are up to date on your flash player.
I'm watching HBO Go on a completely stock Galaxy 10.1 with no choppiness. However, I can't seem to get an icon on my desktop. Although I got a message saying HBO Go was being downloaded, nothing showed up in my apps or download folders. I have to use my browser to go to the HBO Go website. At least it works.
Not sure why I'm having so much trouble with my tab. I'll have to check out autokiller and see if managing my memory makes any difference.
But Netflix works just fine.

hulu patch no longer working

just got my TP yesterday. Love it so far. One of the first things I did was install the hulu patch (can't believe hulu just locked out web os users) it worked great on 3 different occasions last night and tonight no such luck. Tried uninstall via preware then reinstall then reboot but still nothing. Any ideas?
thanks in advance....
nooooooooooo I just installed the patch lol oh well good thing I have my laptop. Does anyone watch wilfred
i just tried it as well to see if it was an isolated incident.. unfortunately it's not... the hulu patch no longer works on my touchpad either
"Unfortunately Hulu is not supported on your platform. We apologize for any inconvenience"
Blocked for me also.
Yeah. Not working for me either but I'm sure there will be an update.

Anyone know any more on this. If the creator is still working on it or has given up. Really missing this feature and makes absolutely no sense that its blocked.

Then complain to Hulu, not the patch writer.
http://www.hulu.com/support/contact
yeah cause hulu will say "oh we are sorry, its not like we purposefully blocked your device on purpose purposefully". the touchpads browser version string and flash version string both read as not being listed as mobile devices on hulus block list. then they blocked the touchpads flash version which the hulu patch fixed. dunno this time if its the browsers version string on the new flash version. but im sure it can be easily fixed again. i would have recommended against changing the version string for the browser so we could get tablet versions of websites and while we should because its running the same version of webkit as the ipad, nothings different from that of a desktop.

i just complained to hulu by canceling my subscription after trying/playing with the service for around 5-6 months, it's just not worth it.
seriously it's crap.. not only can i not watch from my TP, my sony TV which legitimately has a Hulu app cannot stream most of the stuff from hulu due to hulu saying "we don't have right to stream to TV for this video"
90% of the videos has to be watched on a browser with a computer. not to mention the premium service still has COMMERCIALS, WTF? i specifically wrote down why i'm canceling and i hope others do the same.
what a pointless service..
I emailed hulu and told them I canceled via my touchpad.
Can't use hulu on Googletv either.
Eff em.

[Q] Opera mobile users: Embedded youtube vids

Been running opera mobile 11.5.3, but have had zero luck with embedded youtube videos. Any others noticing the same in opera? Tried all kinds of different settings, clearing data, reinstalls, etc. Interesting enough, i get audio, along with a black box as opposed to the video.
Opera mini opens the vids in youtube, so worst case i go to that. Worth noting, this link works in every other browser i have installed and plays the embedded vids. So pretty sure its just opera mobile unfortunately...
Test page:
http://terrillthompson.com/tests/youtube.html
I do too. Same black box. Too bad cuz I love the smoothness and speed of opera.

same here, haven't found a browser that renders as quickly as opera. rarely ever see any tiles when loading pages.
Just tested on my skyrocket... loads with no issues. So its something with the prime. hopefully fixed in a future release. guess i'll shoot an email to the dev.
this is because opera mobile needs to update it for optimal use with our device also. only sound plays out. maybe we need to leave some comments on marketplace or email the developer to address the issue.
edit: I left a comment on marketplace. seen another guy named Ryan, that owns a Prime, also left the same complaint.

as far as i can tell yeah, one other thing i wish they would fix is when you click a youtube mobile link instead of opening youtube it directs you to the youtube page, Opera needs to update so i can stop using two different browsers simultaneously
I put it in tablet mode and it didn't work for videos embedded in general section I was trying to look at. I press the big white play button n nothing shows up. I had flash on demand. So I tries again enabling itall the time and nothing shows up in that area period. SMH. Opera need to hurry up n update..lol

What I did is un/reinstall flash, set Opera to tablet mode and flash always on. Works for me. Only thing is that youtube mobile pops up. Not ideal, but doable till an update of Opera. Meanwhile I use boat browser.

yea the browser FC when you open it AVP loads up but there is no way to sign in and when you try to start a video it just says this device is not configured any more

I can hope to see this on the next version of Xron? Please
Yeah the browser is working here for me too. Can't say I like it though, but it works.
Any reasons as to why it wouldn't install on my Touchpad? It says application not installed. But it was fine with the first version. However it was giving FC as to eveyone else. Maybe it's signed incorrectly?
One of two reasons : Either its signed incorrectly or not signed at all or there is a previous version existing.
Worked here also after following the steps in the first post of that topic.
TBH though, I'm not impressed at all. Boat Browser still beats it for me on the TouchPad.
@ puneet_champ
But I don't get what can be wrong as others managed to install it on their Touchpads. As you found the solution for the FC maybe you can have a look as to why the application refuses to install? thanx!
Edit: Nevermind. Managed to install it. Cleared everything and did all over again but this time didn't change the permissions and it worked. Thanx for nice work just one thing that I noticed. Even if you choose to use desktop mode in the settings it still gives mobile websites e.g. there's no way to have Vimeo in Desktop mode
Make sure to follow the directions fully. Set permissions correctly and REBOOT

too bad you still get the tool bar on the bottom.
Prime videos not working either. I do get an FC under Video Help menu.

HDMI out for Flash content

I tried a cable I purchased last night (mini hdmi to hdmi) and if I run any youtube videos the output works great on my TV ....also any vids from like CNN , MSNBC seems to work as well, even when I go to Full Screen mode on the Prime.
However when I try that from a Flash stream , it flakes out when I go to Full screen mode. Browser locks up, no video or sound and I have to kill the browser and clear data/cache on the app for it to function properly again.
Only does it when the HDMI out cable is connected. If I leave the feed in small screen it seems to run fne. If I increase the screen a bit on the Prime, it will most likely lose video and then it all eventually locks up again.
The site is Hockeystreams.com, basically the one and only reason I wanted the hdmi out, lol
anyway if anyone has any ideas on why this may be happening i would appreciate the help!
Thanks
Greg

Seems to be. I went to teh Market searched for Flash and all it gives me is the option to uninstall or open so I think its up to date.
I am going to try another flash site or maybe another browser as well.
it could be that site and the way they feed the video..
thanks !
I think I read someone saying they had the same problem and they fixed it by uninstalling and re-installing Flash. Might help, might not, but quick to test and it can't hurt.
Alternatively you could clear any data/cache associated with Flash (settings/apps)... perhaps that might do it.
