does anyone know if anyone is working on a hulu fix or app for the droid x. I know that the droid incredible has a hulu flash fix and app for there phone. Im just wondering if anyone has heard anything or know of a fix.
When I was on Windows Mobile I used skyfire browser to view the hulu site. It worked great. I haven't tried it on android though, but you may want to see if it works.
I cant get Hulu to show videos on any browser I use on my DroidX..
all say that the video cant be displayed on a mobile device or some garbage like that.
Try bitbop.com, they just released their Android app today to watch tv shows on your phone streaming or download. It is $9.99 a month after the trial, but you have to pay for hulu mobile on iPhone also. The content isn't quite as good as hulu yet, but they are more focused on mobile so it should catch up.
try this
I assume no one is working on a Hulu app but i found a awesome site that you can watch live tv like HBO, TBS, and so on right in the browser, here is the link.

Wow, this works very well.

First, I'd like the thank all the developers on this site for the great work they have done. My HTC devices have greatly enjoyed all the upgrades and hacking over the year with all of your help. That said, I'm not a developer, but I am wondering if anyone has had this idea yet.
For those of you who are not familiar with hulu.com, I'd suggest checking it out. hulu is a partnership between NBC and Fox to bring streaming video of their most recent shows to the net. Along with TV shows, they also feature a growing selection of full length movies.
Since there are a handful of ways in which we have been able to get youtube videos to play on our devices, I was wondering if it would be possible to do the same thing with hulu. I'm not sure how anyone would go about this, but thought this could be a starting point for a good discussion on if it is even possible to do.
Any thoughts?
I'd actually be very interested in this as well. Thanks in advance.
Wow! I just signed up for Hulu, and I've been hearing about it from friends and now here, lol! Yeah, it would be awesome to stream this on my Titan.
You can watch Hulu with the Skyfire beta but its a little choppy on 3G
Yeah, I was thinking that myself but you probably can't go fullscreen.
I know you can't on Youtube, anyways.
Hulu DOES work on the newest skyfire beta. But it is rather choppy (youtube works almost 100% now on there.)
But that is only running on a WIFI connection. As I can't seem to get skyfire to connect over 3g or gprs with my rom.
I've been able to use Hulu with Skyfire as well, but it's not easy at all to get to the shows you want and then you have to zoom in just right even to see the video clearly. Oh and it's choppy as hell. A dedicated player may be able to fix all these problems and make the service a deffinite must on your ppc
I watch Hulu videos all the time with skyfire, and they play flawlessly over 3G, and I can navigate the site easily.
Ok, so the people who have access to the Skyfire beta testing can play it on their device (Touch users have to overclock their devices to get smooth video). If we leave it at that, there's no reason for anyone to develop a standalone Youtube Player. But we do have one and I'm sure a lot more people like using that over Skyfire since the interface in much quicker and easier to use.
so... back to the question at hand. Is it possible to make a standalone player?
bump - id also be interested in such a player
Im not sure but, wouldn't you need to get a hold of Flashlite 3 for Windows Mobile before this would be possible since Hulu uses flash 8 or 9?
bump me 2 ***
would b amazing
can't beleive...
...that's been over a year and no atemps where made for a stand alone version of Hulu. that's sad, as I'm no longer able to play Hulu on skyfire any more
My problem is not being able to access it without getting the proxy error. No matter how I connect, Hulu still thinks I'm using a proxy server and won't allow connection because that's how they stop users outside the US from using the service (copyright issues with content providers).
when i go to watch netflix movies on my gtab the website lets me click on the movie but wont play it. it does it on certain websites too to watch videos. any suggestions?
Netflix is using the Microsoft Silverlight plugin to play the movies in a browser. This is not available for Android.
Playon is supposed to be released for Andriod ..... it plays netflix ....that seems to be the closest, soon to be viable option
Android app supposed to come this century. Hopefully that will help our streaming woes.

If they ever do it that would be nice. I have Playon loaded on my server and using an app called upnplay I can access Playon, but so far have not been able to play anything. It tries, and then quits.

Hey man just use ice films (WWW.icefilms.info) , similar to Netflix. If u have cookies enabled u can save the shows/movies you want to see by clicking on the yellow star next to the title. I wrote a how to guide for it. I can't post links yet but I just wrote it yesterday. The thread is called, How to get icefilms to work on the g tab.
Hope this helps ya out.
Netflix is being a beezy and only allowing their live streaming app on phones with Snapdragon processors, which the Captivate doesn't have. Is it possible to port it over to the Captivate when it comes out?
Only time will tell. They are really working hard to stop the switching on Android or lock down Android.

It's not netflix's fault...they aren't being a beezy.
If they didn't do this they wouldn't have any content to provide and netflix would cease to exist because providers would pull the content.

Netflix apk installs and opens on my vibrant from the LG system dump.

^The netflix apk, supposedly. I'd test it and tell you guys if it works or not, but I don't have a netflix account :\
^ Thanks for the apk! It works but not really - I can login, view my queue, etc. But when I try to play a video it says "Sorry we could not reach the Netflix service"

Wacky.. my friend with an N1 said the same thing. I thought it might have been some hardware decoding/drm issue, but I guess not..
O man i wish it was working on our phones soo bad. i would pay to get that up and running

Same here I was soooo excited to watch some netflix...
I think there's a good chance they just haven't enabled streaming from the device yet. Most people are reporting the same issue
thanks for the apk. it works except for the streaming. i'm getting the same error 1005 that everyone else is. interestingly, my phone shows up on the netflix device management page as "Android Mobile (Obsolete)".
Have you guys tried PlayOn yet? It streams Netflix to your android thru media server. It works, although kinda laggy. Downfall is after 2 weeks free trial, its a pay subscription

ya i think its just the launcher and face at this point...don't think they have enabled the stream.
I have only seen 1 report of someone getting it to stream on an android device and with no proof or screens i call bogus
Loaded it on my stock 2.2 captivate.. ended up just locking up. Power button didn't work, had to pull the battery.
No Hardware DRM = No Netflix Streaming
Hardware level DRM?
Back at Mobile World Congress in February, Qualcomm had an exciting, yet troubling announcement. Their future chips would have the DRM libraries built in to run Netflix streaming. Apparently, the key to getting movie studios' blessing for Android is hardware level DRM. If you buy a phone with a Snapdragon, it might run Netflix. But if you have your eye on a phone with a Hummingbird or Tegra 2, you could be out of luck.

This is also why the xoom may not get it...
Droid doesn't. Not all of them, anyway.

I'll bump this, been using PlayOn for a couple of years now. Not the ideal solution, but there really isn't one. Don't bother with using Media Server, PlayOn has a dedicated app.
It lets you watch a LOT more than just Netflix (Hulu, direct channels, local media files) via transcoding. The streams/movies are sent to your PC, which then transcodes and distributes them.
It creates a DLNA share for viewing streams on your home devices ... it will also, via the new Android app, let you view all of these streams over 3G. I'm currently watching Onion News via PlayOn over 3G (ie, my PC downloaded it, my Android phone app is able to view it remotely).
For me, its a huge boon when traveling. It does have buffering problems at times but that is more because my DSL upstream from home is slower than 3G downloading speed.
^^ was gonna do something similar with a media server program, cant remember which but my isp upload limit is only 600kbps. someday when i have fios or other connection with symetrical upload and download this will be awesome but unfortunately that might be a while
I feel like the only person that cannot access my account. The program just closes after I click login. Im running the phoenix rom

What is the free tv and movies app for android? That is compatible with the Droid Charge of course.
I'm trying to find an app better than hulu and netflix. All the free one's i've tried in the app market have been duds....
Post a link please if you have a good one!
Crackle
I personally love Crackle for droid app, also unlike Hulu that blocks (unless changed recently) most mobile devices from viewing the page in a browser (such as watching it on xoom) Crackle does not.
I have not tried their pay version but i love the free version.
check out the veetle lite app
crackel doesnt work on the Charge if you find a way let me know.
Is there any way to watch Hulu videos from the One X?
Not Hulu Plus, I don't have that subscription service. Already pay for Netflix.
I just want to go to the website and watch random TV shows from time to time.

That's a double no.
One, because Hulu only supports watching videos on mobile devices via Hulu Plus.
And TWO, because Hulu hasn't added support for the HOX yet, even via the official app. But even when they do, it will be Hulu Plus only.
I suppose if you found a browser that supported flash AND ID spoofing (Ie the browser could tell the site it was a desktop version or something) you might be able to pull it off. Worth a shot.
Currently no hack for the Hulu app and our device. But this works to watch on videos on the website:
