Hi, i just bought an ASUS Transformer, running on 3.2.
I was wondering if it was possible to use the mic/camera(s) whilst in the browser to voice and video chat on sites such as tinychat.com?
I do have flash player installed.
Easiest thing to do is try it, post back if it work or not.
My apologies, I have already tried it but don't know how to get it to work, it doesnt seem to recognise the mic or the camera, which is why I'm asking if there is a way to make it work lol

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).
Hi all.
I purchased this device mostly to be used as a companion for when I stream to Justin.TV. This website uses both flash video and java at the same time. I want to monitor my video stream and the chat while I play. I know I could of got a netbook for this, but I would like the tablet for doing other things.
Some streams with lower quality work good for me, but my stream does not play. The stream will freeze, but I am able to hear the audio. My stream is in flash and is 720p, 3000kbps, H.264.
I tried some other 720p flash video and received the message "Video Not Optimized For Mobile Device". (Uh, yeah, that's why I bought a tablet and not a phone). Obviously this is because of the Android OS and not the hardware?
So I am half-happy because I can see the chat, but not the video. Is there anything I can do to help this? I am running TnT 2.2.0 with the flash player linked to in the thread.
If this can't be fixed for now, does anyone think it will be resolved in the future? Perhaps a better Flash apk that supports the Tegra better? Or would I be better with the new Viewsonic Viewpad?
Thanks
A lot of this is bleeding edge. We are using a phone OS that has been modded for tablets and not supported by Google (yet). And, the Tegra itself is relatively new and has had issues because of it.
In six months, I expect that a lot of these issues with be old news. But for now, it's a problem.
Which browser are using? Have you tried Dolphin HD and changed the User Agent to desktop?
For my stream I get the same results with the default browser and Dolphin HD, but for some reason with Dolphin HD I am forced to the mobile site every time. Even with user agent set to Desktop. So I can't try the HD flash video with Dolphin.
There is no mobile version of my stream.
Based on roebeet's post, I guess i'll stick it out and hope it gets better. I am already somewhat happy because I can run Ventrilo and see the chat at the same time. That's already more than my iPad can do.
Now if I can just get the USB keyboard working.
Thanks for the replies.
Has anyone tested the new flash to see how it works on our gtabs? also does anyone posses the skills to download the new flash, do the hex edit hack and then repackage the apk so that us less technical folk can use it?
i believe this is what you're looking for flash 10.2 hulu fix
Flash 10.2
i have problem with that either, but i wait for solution

I think if it was possible to repackage it someone would have already done it. I have no exerience with hex editing and I was able to do it. Just use this hex editor http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/delphi/freeware/xvi32/xvi32.htm
Use root explorer to pull out the file libflashplayer.so and open it up with the hex editor and use the find to search for text string AND and change it to WIN. Then copy it back over to the original file location. If you need more help send me a pm.

This works just fine on my G-Tablet, running VEGAn-Tab Build, BETA 5.1.1. Thanks for posting.
In addition to ksc6000s post... find the "and" which comes before the flash version number. Then replace and with win and the android version number with the windows version number, this way you don't get an update to the latest flash dialogue. Some people put nines for numbers and have reported success. Or download the pre edited version floating around this post. Then make sure your browser settings are allowing plug ins and set to desktop. hope that gives some more detail also if you see loading for a while be patient it takes a bit to load in my experiences.
Works fine in portrait mode. A little jerky with lag in full screen landscape mode with 480 resolution. Dolpin set to Desktop mode. REMEMER TO UNINSTALL Flash 10.1 before installing 10.2 with Hulu fix.
Stock 3318 pack with 3.14 enhancement pack.
Installed. Seems slower than 10.1. But on the bright side, hulu hack works. It never did on 10.1

I agree about the slowness, but Hulu with 10.1 didn't work on Vegan 7. This one does. Now if we could only get general video support on Vegan 7...
Ill have to try this I've tried a few times to get hulu and no fix ever seemed to work.
Hulu works for me. Even tethered to my phone. May pause when tethered but only initially. No problems on home wifi. Fullscreen isn't quite fullscreen but if you choose the pop-out it fills the screen almost prefect. The on screen controls for the player are a bit difficult to use, but I can use them. The Hulu app works really well in portrait mode as a way to watch shows quickly. The about:debug part of the hack is critical.
i get no sound out of my flash videos, im on vegan 7. ive tried hulu and youtube, videos play fine but no sound
This worked on samsung galaxy tab Verizon with Klean v3. The trick is to enable flash plugin all the time in dolphin. I had mine set to on demand and when i changed it hulu worked. I also recommend choosing the pop out player when watching a movie. After you give it some time to load it runs really smooth

+1 same issue same ROM
I'm on Vegan 7 and works fine for me other than working the controls is a pain (was like that before, not a 7 issue). Other flash players don't have that problem.

Hulu working!
Wrote up a guide on the Nook Color forums. Works great on the gf's G tablet.

Does anyone else have problems with choppy video in Dolphin using Hulu? Is there a trick to get it to play smoother? Other videos play fine outside of the browser. I am running TnT Lite 4.4.0
No Sound...
I am also experiencing no sound irrespective of the source through the speakers. I can get sound through the headphones via music player though.
Update: I now have sound through the speakers but nothing from hulu....
So when using Playon Mobile app, I get a ton of audio sync issues no matter what type of video I watch.
PlayOn uses Flash which I have installed and uninstalled a couple of times. When I do a search for the error I see people saying Flash 10.3 is not supported on the Transformer (although why it installs if it is not supported is beyond me ;P).
I have a pending tech support request in with PlayOn but figured if anyone knows if solution to this issue exists, it would be people on THIS forum.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT : Oops...some extra info I am not sure if it is needed.
- Stock not rooted (3.2)
- B60 tablet version
- WiFi for streaming (25mb FIOS)
Ask if anyone needs more info.
Just thought I would update my own post with what a PlayOn rep emailed me today.
The video and audio are played by the Adobe Flash Player 10.3 app. In
other words, your PS3 is playing the video and audio correctly as it is
streamed, but the Adobe Flash app is failing to do that.
The audio/video syncing issue is very common on Honeycomb devices. It's
pretty common for android in general. When it happens you have to
completely remove the Adobe Flash Player 10.3 app, reboot the tablet,
and then reinstall the app from the Android Market. That should reset a
now correctly installed Adobe Flash app.
Once you have followed that process, try a video again. If it still
plays poorly then try playing a video in your browser through the web
app (m.playon.tv) to see if your tablet is handling Flash differently.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Thank you for contacting PlayOn Support.

Hello,
Thank you in advance for answering to my question. I searched for an answer to my problem, but i coulld find something that works on the forum.
I bought a Xoom wifi a week ago, made the 3.1 OS update (the one available in France at this moment) and flash is working well on it (i don't think that there is a problem with it, i even reinstalled it from the market). Also it can read MP4 videos that i put directly in it from my pc.
The problem is that my xoom doesn't read any video on the internet (Youtube App, videos of other app, videos of website, i'm using Dolphin HD). On the youtube app for example the screen gets stuck at "Buffering).
I didn't make any change on my xoom since i bought it (just installed some apps). I would be grateful if you helped me with this problem that makes my xoom not fully usable.
Regards.
ps: i'm a noob.

If you are stuck at buffering, it might just be a weak data connection. Streaming videos uses a bit of bandwidth.
Also, the YouTube app is known to have problems.
