I can't post a link because of new member status but if you search "hulu andriod app" in google, there is a link to absolutelyandriodDOTcom (5th link down) about debuging the web browser. I tried doing this on with the web browser that comes with TnT Lite v4.2.4 without any luck. I don't know the technical details, but would this be possible through some other means?
Thanks
Playon.tv mobile will work if you set browser user agent to Android. Watching SNL now.
Hulu works...
Hulu isn't that hard to get working on our G-Tabs. I'm running TNT-Lite 4.2.2 and it works pretty good. A little stutter here and there on HD show but all in all very watchable.
Read this post to see how to do it...

I downloaded the dolphin browser, set the user agent to Android, and set dolphin as the default browser. I launch playon, go to the hulu video I want to watch, and all I see is a thumbnail of the video and some information about the episode. How do you get the video to play?
Touch the thumbnail. It should play. I have dolphin hd and it works good. Have flash?

I did the "get hulu to play" hex hack on the lib file for flash where you change AND to WIN. not sure if that makes a difference. didn't try playon till after i did that. Maybe try that. Otherwise I am running VEGan 5.1.1

You have to HEX edit the one flash file from you phone on your PC as per the instructions at the link I gave above. After that it works fine...

I installed the version of flash listed in the right-up I posted the link to. Did the HEX edit of the file and I can go to Hulu and watch all videos in Dolphin HD or even the regular browser that comes with TNT-Lite 4.2.2.
It works the same in either browser. Smooth except in 720p or 1080p it stutters some but still very watchable...

I'm on vegan 5.1.1 maybe thats the difference. I did the same as you and still no worky on the sites. oh well playon works great and was already on my pc.
As long as it works......
Thanks for everyone's help on this. I am still not successful using Playon on the gtab, but with the Adobe Flash Player hack, I am now able to watch videos on Fancast.com
Glad you got it working for yourself.....
Got this working yesterday in vegan 5.1 without playon. Used the fixed flash and the recommended settings for dolphin HD. Works great in mid range resolution. All main hulu streaming works perfect but some redirects like the WB (getting my fiancée hooked on fringe:-D) lose sound/video sync after about 45 minutes. Totally worth the time to do.

My Media Center PC (which has the PlayOn Server software) is ethernet wired to the router. My gtab is access it on the same network. I see the list of applications (Hulu, CBS, CNN, etc.) and shows, just when I click on the thumbnail image, nothing happens.

Do you have Flash installed and working?
If not try this:
Cut & Paste From - " scsione889 " post - Thanks goes to him for how to install flash...
Step 1.
Download “Adobe Flash Player 10.1.120.1.apk” which you will find attached at the bottom of this post and save it on your tablet (I recommend creating a separate folder to save .apk files in).
Step 2.
On your tablet open up whatever file explorer comes pre-installed with the ROM you’ve selected. In there, open up where you saved your .apk, then select Adobe Flash Player, and follow the on screen instructions to finish installing that.

Hi
I am unable to watch flash videos through browser on infuse. It says a plugin is required and when i click that it takes to adobe flash page. But flash page mentions that this OS is not supported for flash. I have installed flash 10.3 from market but still doesnt work. Any help?
Thanks
open the browser, hit menu>more>settings>enable plugins>always on
edit:
if that doesnt work look into the "hulu fix" found in the forums for other devices. it may not be recognising the build of the flash plugin, the hulu fix plugin is modified to fake the windows plugin, if it doesnt want to play with the browser, type "about:useragent" (no quotations) into the address bar and set it to desktop, you may also have to clear cookies to get it to work on sites like hulu that intentionally block mobile devices for licence reasons.
if the browser is sluggish then try opera mobile browser, stock android browser can be sluggish on the hummingbird with 2.2. it is way better with gingerbread, unfortunately that will have to wait for a good kernel dev to port over.

Because you are using stock browser, try opera, not the mini okay.
Reason why I like opera browser, if you set flash on demand, when you click the okay on one flash it only plays that single flash that you click, while dolphin and stock browser set "on demand" if you click one flash, every flash on the web page plays, that is why it is sluggish.

I use stock browser and love it, no lag with flash on. Only downside is that 720p flash videos are slow as hell. 360p videos work the best with great frame rates.
Does anyone know where i can get Google's video player? i've tried downloading from the market to no avail. Thanks in advance.for your help. Btw I'm rooted and running Infused 153.

I've heard that i doesn't work on rooted phones, i installed the new market, it should install along with the new market but it didn't. I guess that's due to me being rooted.

set the browser ua to desktop by typing about:useragent in the adress bar. then log into the gmail desktop site. once logged into google go to the web market at market.android.com/movies
the movies will play in the browsers video player at 480p which is the phones native res anyhow, I'm sure this is the same as google video will play it. they are hosted by youtube and I don't see the hq modes on my pc so id guess that's the quality limit.
this way it will play throuh mhl with no problems.
im rooted. the download wouldnt install from the market. it would start and then just stop for no reason. so i installed from apk. it works now, and with the market too. divx movies forward over to play in the samsung player.
Hey there Jack can you send me the apk? PM me and I'll give you my email address. muchas gracias.
thats ok. i put it in my dropbox. http://db.tt/Xya5KUS

Hey Jack thanks for the apk. It installed just fine but when I tried to play a movie I rented from the market (Wedding Crashers Unrated) I got the following error:
Playback not supported on rooted devices (Error 49)
Have you rented a flick from the market and if so were you able to watch it? I'm rooted and running Infused 153. Thanks again man.
Set the browser user agent to desktop, browse to the Android Market website, and launch the movie from there. Think that may work.
nope, i have yet to see anything i would want to rent over netflix.

yep this is how ive been doing it, works just fine.
ok, I'm a complete novice so can someone please tell me how to do this? I'm getting the rooted error 49 too and have no idea how to get the movie to play. I don't know how to open it in the browser either, so I am totally lost. I have a feeling I just wasted 3.99. Lol.
I can view anything at or above 360p from YouTube via default or dolphin browser?
The default YouTube app sucks dong cuz it buffers forever and I can't change quality of video...
If anyone know why I can't choose 360p in browser please let me know.
In the YouTube app there is HD button to switch between SD HD.
If you visit the desktop version of YouTube on the xoom you will have the same options as you would on your computer.
If you don't know how to do that search for about:debug ua string.

I am running desktop UA but YouTube would not play anything above 360p in browser.
Is it only me?
I prefer YouTube in browser than the dumb app.
Same issue here, seems to have just started a couple of days ago as it worked fine before when watching 720p in the browser. Now no videos work in pluse, stock browser or dolphin. Just get "an error, try back later". So then I click to go to the YouTube page for the video and still does not work. The only way to work is to swtich the ua string to android, I use the dolphin toggle extension but it is very annoying to have to do this all the time, I don't want to view mobile site on my tablet. Wtf is Google doing this, why block tablets from seeing HQ video, the main differentiation between their offerings and the ipad.
My guess, something to do with copyright. I personally think that its stupid to block mobile video in the first place.
I have had no issues. 720p plays in browser. Check your settings for playback on the YouTube site. If that don't work. Clear data for browser. That will loose all your bookmarks etc though.

You're right, but that sucks.

Youtube doesn't even play for me with the flash from manta rom...
I have the modified hulu version.
am also using modified hulu version....
In my version of the hulu flash, all I modified was the version number and from Android to Windows so unless youtube now actually verifies the version number along with the version type, that may be the reason. There is a new version of Adobe Flash released yesterday, I will modify it as usual and will report the results here since I can't do much with hex editing as that is the only known hack.

can you post please because I would like to watch YT on my xoom again.
If you all are still having troubles with your Youtube on the Stock Browser, Dolphin, Opera, or Firefox, can you please give me some more details on your settings?
When you say "Desktop Browser" are you refering to www.youtube.com and forcing it to stay that way or is it going to www.youtube.com and then changing to the mobile version, m.youtube.com?
(Only Stock Browser) Have you done the "Aboutebug" (Without quotes) mode and change your browser to LOOK like a desktop UI?
~~If you are using the "Aboutebug" Mode, are you running on Wi-Fi only or are you running 3g?
(Dolphin/Opera Browsers only) Have you gone in and changed the settings to make it look like a Desktop Browser or are you still allowing it to display as a Android Device?
When the videos do work, have you tried to clear your Cache and History to keep the information in the buffer low when you are just getting ready to watch videos/just after you are done watching videos? (I ask because I noticed on my Wi-Fi Stock Rooted Rom that if you do not use the Youtube App, it bogs down the Cache and the History just gets cluttered...)
Are you making sure there are not other applications running too and choking out the Browser UI's? (aka, getting a task manager and killing apps before you go into another app)
I hope to help you out, as well as others in the near future (be it advice or with the same problem) and get this problem resolved!
Thank You for the information in advance! ^_^
Sure,
When you say "Desktop Browser" are you refering to www.youtube.com and forcing it to stay that way or is it going to www.youtube.com and then changing to the mobile version, m.youtube.com?
=> No, I'm using desktop UA string so it is always www.youtube.com. I have to manually go to m.youtube.com.
(Only Stock Browser) Have you done the "Aboutebug" (Without quotes) mode and change your browser to LOOK like a desktop UI?
~~If you are using the "Aboutebug" Mode, are you running on Wi-Fi only or are you running 3g?
=> I have WIFI xoom so WIFI only.
(Dolphin/Opera Browsers only) Have you gone in and changed the settings to make it look like a Desktop Browser or are you still allowing it to display as a Android Device?
=> Yes, I am using desktop UA in dolphin as well. I don't see why using mobile UA on the tablet is usefull at all.
When the videos do work, have you tried to clear your Cache and History to keep the information in the buffer low when you are just getting ready to watch videos/just after you are done watching videos? (I ask because I noticed on my Wi-Fi Stock Rooted Rom that if you do not use the Youtube App, it bogs down the Cache and the History just gets cluttered...)
=> Videos ONLY WORK for me at 260p....doesn't matter whether I clear cache or history.
Are you making sure there are not other applications running too and choking out the Browser UI's? (aka, getting a task manager and killing apps before you go into another app)
=> Yes, rebooted and only running browser...tried many many times.
When I try to watch videos on the desktop version of Youtube my screen goes black and theres no audio. After that the browser stops loading pages but internet works on other apps. So to make the browser work again I need to reboot the tablet.
Anyone know how I can make desktop Youtube work in full screen? I am using stock browser and I have flash installed on my device.
Thanks

I have that problem whenever I try to go full screen on any flash video. You could try using the youtube app. Instead of rebooting your tablet, you could just go to settings->apps->running (or something like that) and force stop the browser. Doesn't fix your issue, but makes it faster to get the browser working again.

From what I'm reading in the reviews for Chrome Beta, it doesn't have flash support. That is why it goes straight to mobile youtube, even though you have it on desktop mode.

Okay. Hope they fix the stock browser so people can watch flash videos.
Where exactly are the links to the other videos? In the description? Because I can see links on video descriptions on youtube mobile, and I'm able to click on them.

The liks are in the video, not the description. The links only shows on desktop version.
The best thing you could do, until they fix full screen, is use dolphin or Opera browsers and use the large player option in youtube also make sure the video is in the highest quality possible and just zoom in until you are comfortable with the screen.
Ok people I got it to work on Opera Mobile app. Someone posted in the transformerforums, that they unnistalled Flash Player and installed it again and it worked. So I tried this, and I got it working on Opera Mobile full screen. At first when I went into full screen the video image didn't show, so I just changed the video quality and booom the image showed
hi,
I am trying to view hulu.com website and watch the free streaming media. I dont want the hulu plus stuff.
as i understand it.. "Flash Video Browser" can make it work.. by fooling the service that i am on a PC.
but this app is no longer on the market.
does anyone still have this apk? does it still work?
Just use any web browser that supports flash and has a desktop agent like Firefox or Naked browser. But I doubt if we can watch videos on Hulu.com for free.
