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).

Mobile IP DVR Phone Cam

Hello friends. Its been a while I don't start a thread, so here is a concern I have and hope some of you could help with. There is such a thing called DVR (Digital Video Recorder) which a Tornado does by nature of the cam software. There is also an "IP Camera" which transmits live video over internet and can be seen remotely over an internet browser.
I'm into the RC(Remote Control) airplanes and today I was flying over at a beautiful site by the beautiful beaches of Aguadilla, PR. A thought blew up my mind. Would it be possible to make my phone transmit video over GPRS and be seen remotely over an IE Browser?
Just imagine how cool it would be to attach my phone to my RC Airplane, and to be able to share the view with friends over the internet. Whats even more fun would be to be able to leave my PC at home recording (DVR) off the IE IP website where I'll be transmitting.
Well if anyone knows of a program that could do such a thing, or even if it would be possible to do it with the Tornado Cam, please speak up. I have a broken Tornado that I could use for this purpose.
Thanks for your comments!
@ MOD If you feel this should go under hacking and dev please advice and we can move it there later. I'd like to get first feedback from Tornado Users. Thank You.

Have a look at http://livecast.com formally comvu

@Mark
I installed on my TouchPro/Raphael and it works great. Let me know when you do the live cast (add me to your member's list).
Have a good day.

Sounds awesome, I'd like to see the results of that. However, not be a naysayer, but pushing data like that over GPRS? I dunno, even at its fastest with EDGE it can be painfully slow, I would guesstimate that you'd get around 1 frame/second at a low quality at best, I could be wrong though. Never hurts to try!
If you're interesting in FPV (video on flying stuff, etc) check out this project:
http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=768115
This guy made a cool quadcopter and there's some links around to camera stuff, not really related to phones, but still cool.

I already downloaded and installed livecast. Will test as soon as possible. Video should be fine, I'm thinking of at least 5 FPS Edge is pretty fast down here. I just need to turn off audio. Live cast transmits both Video and audio. and I only care for video at the moment. But, chances are I'll buy a MiniSpy Cam that has been adapted for RC flying. Only thing I don't like so far is the range which the highest I've found so far is 300m. I usually go around 5-600m. So that's my hold on that option. Still thinking of it.

Video Manager

Does anyone know a way to view video file icons by their thumbnail outside of the picture/video view and not in wmv format?
I want to use something like winterface as video launcher for my movies/tv shows, and maybe music, but don't want the stupid windows-flag icon that is used for my avi files. Does anyone know of an explore plugin that would generate thumbnails for the icons?
I'm interested in any solutions, even if i have to do something on my computer before putting the videos on the sd card.
TIA

WTF? was i spam replied?
ok, in the meantime i found s-k-tools icon changer, but i'd like something a little better than just a generic icon for all my AVIs. Maybe there is no way to do this because winmo just don't quite got what it takes?
hopefully i can find a way to do this soon enough. I'd eventually like to get something like boxee running on a winmo phone, with plugins for wikilyrics and everything. I'll probably have to wait for fennec to come out (and buy a better phone than a herald) but that's the dream anyways.
i'd like to hear any advice or comments if you've got any.

bump
anyone have any ideas?

Live Stream Video?

I have tried Qik on my Galaxy S, and it doesn't work.
Tried Justin TV but it lacks quality videos.
Which app could I use to stream live good quality videos (doesn't matter if I have to pay)
And is there another APP to have an online photo album? Something like I took a photo and it goes automatically online for the public?
I'm traveling tomorrow, and I want my family to see the places I visit.
Thanks

Take pictures and email them. Lol, j/k. Do they have the same phone as you or possible an Android based phone? If so try the app called tango.

How do I mirror video and audio from Android to a PC/TV?

What I'm looking to do with my SGS3 is WIRELESSLY mirror the audio, and video of my phone to a HTPC/Mac. Apple via "Airplay"allows for this in iOS and it works BEAUTIFULLY using a client on the pc/mac like AirServer, or Reflection. I find it difficult to believe that this is not available on an Android platform. The problem is, searching for such an app almost always results in finding remote desktop apps n such. Watch a video using Airserver or Reflection, and you'll see what I'm looking to do. I've seen media player apps that'll send videos/audio, but not by mirroring the actual Android device. I know I've gotta be missing this somewhere.
There's an app called MirrorOp Sender that sends the video to a connected receiver/client, but it's VERY slow, and does not support the transmission of audio. MirrorOP Sender also requires the device to be rooted. Not like that's a huge deal to me, but perhaps to someone else.
Thanks in advance!

Xda tv did a review of an app that does this. Look on their youtube channel. To late for me to find it. I'm sleepy.

Thanks Here's the video I think you might have been talking about. I was unawar that TeamViewer allowed for the control of a phone FROM a pc. I thought it was only to control a PC FROM a phone. Thanks! But it should be known, though this is a seriously cool option. Audio still does not transfer over the wifi, only two-way video communications.
And so the hunt continues for something like AirServer and Reflection on Android. Don't necessarily nee to control it from a pc/mac, but would really like a wireless audio/video presentation platform for Android.

Bringing this post back to life in hope someone has a new idea. Can someone please explain to me why the ability to mirror audio and video from Android to a PC/Mac isn't available yet? Thanks

I am looking for the same, Although the other way. I think there are bunch of apps to mirror your Display but audio is not possible due to some limitations in Android framework.

I too was looking for an app like this and honestly sat there and started to wonder why i actually needed it.. can you explain a senario where this make sense and why an app that beams audio/videois not a good enough solution. hell i am with you on having more options including a featuer like airplay mirror, but maybe untill such application exists i can suggest good enough work arounds because like you i spent MANY MANY hours trying to figure out how do do this mirror thing with no dice. but i did find nice workarounds..

Holy hell, finally I think we might have a solution. I haven't tried it yet, but clearly, we aren't the only ones in need of this feature.

Looks promising. SplashTop 2 works other way round but is too damn pricey.

Just reviving this thread because I am also looking for the same thing. That app posted in the last post, BQScreen, as far as I know doesn't differ from the one the OP stated. Both apps don't transmit any audio, they just mirror the screen. MirrorOp is kinda cool because you can control it both ways, you can also use your mouse to click buttons on your computer to control your phone. Keyboard also works so you can reply to all your whatsapp msgs from your computer but at the end of the day it doesnt transmit any audio.
I use a galaxy note 2 and have never had the need to do this before because both the tvs in my house that get the most use happen to have a computer in the same room and I have them set up to just send the computer's screen to the tv screen and use unified remote/xbmc remote to do whatever I want, thus ending the need for allshare cast/apple tv devices which in my opinion offer an inferior experience than a full fledged HTPC.
The problem is that I have a tv in a room in my house that is getting more and more use lately and it doesn't have any way of showing netflix or youtube or all the files I have in my media server, etc. Basicaly, no access to the internet and I bought the tv right before all the smartv craze started. I am now on the search of a way to mirror my phone's screen (or anyones) to that tv in order to give that tv some added value. Of course I would still need to have some kind of reciever in that tv to get it to work so I really don't know what I am searching for. In the end I will probably end up purchasing an allcast dongle and use it specificaly for that tv, that way all tv's in my house would have access to all the media in my house and the internet but if anyone here has another option, I am all ears.

I have google tv and youtube connects nicely, i'm not sure if that's what your looking for though. I just connect and it plays the video on my tv.

Reviving this i case the 4.3 framework has changed to allow this functionality. If someone with knowledge of such things can chime in that would be great!

Bumping this topic, years have gone by and still no solution?

mirror from koush is the closest thing ...
it's meant for airplay so you can just install airserver on your pc

Chromecast
Google Chromevast

Looking for the solution. AirServer works on Windows and promises Google Cast support but it looks like it only casts audio from Chrome desktop tab. Google Play Music app discovers the chromecast device but music doesn't start
