Hulu player for PPC?

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).

ESPN3 with G-Tab

Just thought I'd share
w-w-w.youtube.com/watch?v=D9BjC5NeQog
(Still can't publish outside links)...don't trust the link, I completely understand. Go to YouTube search: G Tablet ESPN
Should be the first hit.
Running:
VeganTab 5.1 Beta
DolphinHD Browser
Adobe Flash Player 10.1.120.5
Didn't work on the stock browser nor Opera, I don't know why. Although I also didn't spend a whole lot of time trouble shooting the other two browsers.
I think that's it.
Thanks to everyone here who made the G-Tab a useful device.

I've been enjoying games on ESPN3.com using the Skyfire browser. Love it. GO CUSE!!!!

ESPN3 has been working fine here since the December 24 update, and is still OK with the 3389 update. FWIW the live feeds at RT (Russia Today) (rt.com and rt.com/usa) also work very well; I was watching their coverage of the airport bombing about 15 minutes after it occurred (CNBC broke the news very quickly). And for those who believe Rush (rushlimbaugh.com) is right, my subscription to his live video feed and past programs also plays well on this stock gTablet. The broadcast audio feeds on radio.com also are good.

[Q] Is there any way to download flash videos?

Hi guys,
Is there any way to download flash videos on our tablet? On my PC I can use a plug in on Firefox to do that but that does not seem to exist on Firefox for Android. There are quite a few Korean dramas that I want to download, but I prefer to use the tf700 instead of my laptop if possible.
Thanks.

tubemate works for youtube...
http://m.tubemate.net/
you just use the share function... but ... only works with youtube app!

I use TubeMate too, but 1) you can actually use it instead of YouTube app, and 2) it obviously ONLY works for YouTube videos. Jut install it, search for the title of the video, hit the green arrow in the lower right portion of the screen, pick "download" and choose the resolution desired. Et voilá!

Don't sites like keep-tube.com work? (I can't check atm)

I haven't tested either, but since they routinely require installation of plugins I wouldn't put too much hope on that. This works beautifully -- and a lot faster since it s(up)ports multiple connections.

I thought KeepTube only required Javascript, as it offers the download through the site itself.. Could be wrong, though. (It whined about Javascript when I had NoScript enabled on pc.)
It certainly doesn't require you to keep the video running, though. It doesn't record the stream, but rather plucks the video out of the flash container. Most of those sites work that way.

Thanks guys for your suggestions, but I have been using Tubemate for a while. What I am looking for is the ability to download any flash videos from any sites, not only Youtube (Youtube does not allow copyrighted stuff, so most of my TV series cannot be found there). For a site like Keeptube, it requires a Java applet, which Android does not support. I suspect there is no other alternative to Windows.

Hi friends, just to update you guys on my finding. It turns out the Flash Video Downloader plug-in is available for Firefox for Android. So effectively you can install Firefox on your tablet and install this plug-in to download almost any flash videos from any sites, not only youtube (I have tested it with a few websites and they all work so far).

And I learn of this after ditching FF for the stock browser... Somehow, I cannot thank via Tapatalk HD, but I'll just do it manually: thanks!

[Q] SOLVED how to view falcon cam on HD Revolution 3.6 ROM

http://www.pacast.com/players/falcon.asp
Using Maxthon browser or several ip camera players and nothing works. Any help greatly appreciated.

Do you have flash installed? It kinda works for me, I see the babies but then it crashes right away. I tried firefox and the default browser, they both do the same... so I googled a bit and it seems that Google made it way worse with 4.2.2 for flash support.
http://forums.androidcentral.com/go...deliberately-wrecked-flash-support-4-2-a.html
You can get flash from the adobe page, in the archived section. What Android version is Rev 3.6?

Thank you very much for the info. It almost plays for me also. I believe the ROM is ICS. After many hours of searching I believe the problem is the Shock Wave player they use. I can't find any flavor of Android that can view Shock Wave .asp streams.

A friend of mine said that Dolphin browser had shockwave support built-in, could be worth a shot.

Flash hasn't been supported on android since ics. You might be able be able to manually install it.

using kitkat? ive tried every browser with .81 and it either crashes or doesn't detect flash. please share more about how you got it to work, thanks

I thought it was just because I was using ART but I guess we'll have to wait for a new version that works with 4.4

Using Boat Browser w. Adobe Flash Player (sideloaded) on Nexu 7 running 4.3.1 on-demand and it is great, no crashes or whatsoever.
Not with N5, however and Boat Browser is what I count on to watch streaming video over fiber @ home.
Probably need updating from the browser folks to make them get along with each other.

No go on my N5 with Firefox and Flash ver .81, tried playing videos from several sites and it didn't work

Okay, I know I am not crazy. Yesterday I swear I quickly watched a clip of a Prime video on Amazon on the N5 via Firefox Beta with the .81 flash apk. However, now now the Firefox Beta crashes as soon as it opens. I thought I'd try regular FF, which does open, but it says flash is not installed. The only devices I have in front of me are the N5 & the N7 & I am pretty certain I didn't confuse my forums/device yesterday, but I'll be damned if it doesn't work now, at least in the stable FF app. Of course, I guess it is possible, between a new device & the hospital & big UT Austin project we are working on. Damn it, maybe it's not such a good thing to order a new device while designing mechanical systems for critical applications.

thanks for the reply. like someone said earlier today, hopefully the browser devs figure it out soon. I used to use boat browser or dolphin basically every day to stream sports through websites like vipbox or firstrowsports. I found out that photon browser works but its a pain to deal with and not the smoothest since it u watch flash through a browser on their server. having smooth flash on boat browser or dolphin was one of the biggest reasons i switched from the iphone to android devices!

Flash on Firefox isn't working for me either.

I didn't install Flash Player but Flash animations seem to work with Puffin Browser.

Flash on Nexus 5
I've tried multiple versions of Flash and multiple browsers (including Firefox, Firefox Beta [which force closed], Boat, Dolphin, Chrome and Opera). None of them work on my Nexus 5 at the current time.
While Puffin works that doesn't really count because it's using a hosted version of Flash running through a proxy. Apart from anything else that meant I couldn't use it to access BBC iPlayer (which I have the app for, but was using as a prominent Flash site to test whether it was working).
I would much rather locally execute Flash, personally, so I'm not sure Puffin really counts as a solution.

Boat Browser released an update that's KitKat or 4.4 friendly, auto updated on mine and it also fixed the FC issue. My favorite streaming website is accessible again but I still have some issues playing in full screen mode.
Haven't got around to root it yet to restore mobile Adobe Flash's latest *.apk

I'm not having any luck with my nexus 5 either. If anyone finds a fix for adobe flash, please post. Trying to get flash working was one of the first things I tried on this phone and am jonesing to get it working.

ff beta, flash .37, kk temasek for i9300. running fine, but far from 4.2 on stock browser.

Sideloaded player 115.81 (newest version):

Flash still does NOT work with Firefox or Firefox beta, kitkat on Nexus 7.
I need firefox because of their FVD addon.
This thread also confirms that no one can get flash player to work on Nexus 5:

flash was working fine in Firefox, Photon, and Maxthon on nexus 4 and 4.3.
doesn't work on any of them today after updating to 4.4
hoping browser developers will be able to figure it out since they were able to before.
puffin works great for most but not all sites.
and It's also the only one that allows you to stream a tv channel in one tab while browsing in another.
on all the others the stream stops unless the tab it's in is on top.
photon also has server based flash but you got to pay an annual subscription with them for that.
(correction: free with ads. subscription to get rid of ads. and some sites that don't work on puffin
work on photon. It also works with the streaming tab in the background)
why would you want a streaming window in the background? so you can listen to
various news streams playing in the background tab, or youtube, while browsing in the foreground tab.
android is useless to me without flash in one way or another.
No idea why if it can be included in chrome os it can't be included in chrome on android since
newer android phones are running more powerful processors than most chromebooks.

Rolled back to 4.3 and blocked OTA on my Nexus until (hopefully!) someone finds a workround
V disappointed with 4.4 - not worth the effort for me.
