I can't get HBO go or Hulu to work on the Note. With HBO, I get the start of the video with the HBO animation and music, but when it starts the video, I hear the sound but no pic.
Hulu just says it isn't compatible. This is for the plus version
Can anyone else confirm?
Anyone have a workaround?
Thanks,

Just tried HBO go and same thing. Looks like its going to work, but only sound no picture. Netflix works good though...

Having the same experience! Sound but no picture! Bummer!
I got HBOGO to work in the stock browser. First I typed about:useragent in the address bar, and changed it to desktop. Then I went to hbogo.com. First I had trouble clicking on the signin window, but eventually I realized I just had to start typing even though I couldn't really see the sign-in window. It took a few tries but I was eventually able to sign in. I was able to stream in full screen mode with a beautiful, smooth picture and good sound. A bit cumbersome but will do for now until the app is updated!
Looks like the update for HBOGO released today (12/21) enables viewing of the HBOGO library on the Note.
Its a Festivus Miracle!

YES, HBOGO now works!!!! Now my Note is absolutely PERFECT!!!! Nice Christmas present!
Yes it works now, but the video quality seems low resolution and pixelated. Can this be fixed?

Thought I'd start a thread, similar to the games one, to allow for recommendations for apps that are found to runs particularly well on the Samsung Galaxy Tab.
I'll start this off with:
Google Earth - Obviously the big screen makes it nice, but the fast GPU and super smooth touchscreen controls also help. tilting and twisting with two-fingers, panning and flying over the high resolution terrain of the Alps is simply amazing. I'd almost say, due to the intuitive touchscreen controls, it's as good or even better than the desktop version (not as many options yet though).
AndroidVNC - This works just like I almost imagined. Sitting on the balcony, then 'tap...tap' my Kubuntu desktop is displayed nicely and can be used on my tab. Awesome for checking up on progress bars of running stuff.
WinAmp is cool on the Tab. Gives You big enough room to select and scroll through directories (compared the N1)
Speed Hud uses the FULL SCREEN, can't wait to try it in my car at night !
EStrong File explorer also uses full screen and is excellent to use on this device.
Wifi Analyzer on the Tab lookes like a professianl Wifi tool !
XBMC remote is alos great on this device. Only problem I have is when Yo rotate it during browsing folders it looses info and You have to go backwards one step to see anything again.
TuneIN radio also works great. I have it running in the background most of the time
Skype is also a dream on the Tab. Gives good room for the big communications...
Photoshop express on a screen like this rocks !
MSN DroidX also works really good
IM+ does not work well. It does 2/3 size in the center
Meridian player works really well too.(pro edition) Plays MKVfiles and everything I have tried smooth. Flac and mp3's are no problems at all.
I just discovered TV Flash. Works really well on Tab, good quality and nice selection of news channels. Some entertainment tv as well! Get it while its in beta!
I'll add another one:
GMote is awesome. Using the entire screen as a touchpad to control the mouse on my XBMC box. You can also switch to remote or keyboard mode, and even stream files from the computer to the Tab. Very nice.
Fennec official beta works a treat. Finally we have firefox!

Where did you get the apk???
Can you share please? The ones I am downloading from the mozilla ftp aren't working
They just force close...
EDIT: Nevermind I found it... It's not one of the nightly builds but the publicly released beta.
Indeed. By the way, gmote doesn't work in fullscreen. Only the pad works, and not too well at that...

What exactly are you having trouble with? It automatically goes fullscreen for me (cover art of streaming music, the remote buttons and the file browser).
As for the touchpad, I did increase the mouse acceleration a bit beforehand, because I was using the touchpad from the Logitech DiNovo Mini before. Maybe that makes the difference.
The browser isn fullscreen for me. Cant remember now as ive uninstalled it. Ive got PocketCloud so its not really an issue.
Anyone tried GRemote? It's a prettier version of GMote, albeit commercial. http://gbmsoftware.com/
Will need to try Fennec, a link to a recent working .apk would be useful.

The server is, yes, but the client isn't.
They did say several months ago that they were working on a OS X server, but no further word of it, my guess is that it's not going to happen.
I'm searching for a good Newsreader App, where i have my Feed Abonnements on the left and the articles an the right, like you get it on your desktop browser when visiting google reader website.
Just search for fennec for android... can't be easier than that.
Really Skype... are there video calls? If not then where do I get video to pccalls from?
I got to say that one of my most essential needs on a device like this is comic book reading.
So I got to say I was quite pleased with the app Comic Reader Mobi.
The reader takes advantage of the full screen.

That's strange. In my case I just chose a root folder source for my comic collection that is located on my external sd card and away it went.
Perhaps you should get in touch with the developer through the comic reader mobi forum. The person seems to be quite hands on when it comes to helping users.
Could someone try and see if this app works on their Tab, I downloaded it and used it on my HTC Desire last night and it is so damn amazing!! Live streaming of games in pretty high quality straight to my phone
Would be awesome if it scaled and worked on the Tab too.

Yeah, JKK made a howto.
just wanted to let everyone knows that Plex is now fully working on the asus transformer.
I cant get it to install, just sits downloading with no info at all :'(
Left it downloading over night, was installed by morning, must of been some weird issue on google's side
Plex is awesome, especially on this Transformer

How do you get it to buffer the video? Mine just sits a 0% and then kicks me back to the media selection screen. Do you have to set port forwarding on the router?
Does it lag when playing 720p MKV files? I don't have my Transformer yet, but I've tested PLEX on my HTC Desire HD and it's lags pretty much when playing the 720p MKV's in 5 Mbps in the settings, changing the settings to 1,5 Mbps works fine but the quality is like crap.
Maybe it's just because of my Desire HD, or my broken graphics card
I couldn't get plex working, installalled the server side app on my Windows 7 x64 pc, installed the Android app.
Set it all up, port forwarded on my router, transformer sees all my movies but each time I select a movie it just shows a black screen for a few seconds and then bombs me back to the selection part again.
MP3's on the other hand all work fine, its just movie streaming that I couldn't get sorted out, all divx/xvid movies.
If anyone has any suggestions or pointers i would be greatful
thanks..just updated it from the market and it works great.. streaming 720p High profile files without any lag
this app is amazing.
just got it from the market....works perfect!
Does this work over internet or just over the LAN.

Have you tried enabling 'direct play' in the options, in the tablet app, not the server?
What's the difference between direct play and direct stream ?.

you either downloaded from Amazon or pirated it. Neither versions are the correct one for Honeycomb.

I don't know.. but I doubt it. It seems that all the work for show titles, cover art, and synopsis are created by the server app.. not the client app on the tablet.
Getting really bad quality on apple movie trailers and so so on local stuff. Definitely not HD. What settings do you use? Think I will ask for refund.

AFAIK Plex uses Direct-stream which downgrades quality based on its detection methods for the device. I've noticed definite quality downgrades on some of my stuff, but at least they play. Plex has been the only streamer that I have gotten to play hi-profile files, but it does downgrade them. Some people think it's a hardware problem with Tegra2, but I have not gotten any player (moboplayer, vplayer etc...) to play hi-profile mkv's without immense lag.
Now all Plex needs to do is get working on doing mkv container subtitles over streaming and it would be perfect!
Plex works amazing. Can't wait for Hulu and Netflix support.
Apple Trailers are bad quality but that was the only thing I coud see. But then again who cares, its Apple.
Just wanted to let everyone knows that playon works great on honeycomb, even though it's not officially supported yet on it, I bought the premium license cause I had the basic one and to my surprise, everything streams and works great, hulu, Netflix and so much more, local wifi and remote wifi too.
I hope they will update it soon to support honeycomb with higher definition and better bitrate. But for now I love it, plus there is a plugin like tv show stream that pulls all shows and stream them.
What is the app for? Any link?
Edit: got it! Cool stuff, I'll give it a try!
I have a play on subscription and i can view all the titles but when i click to view video, it says failed to load

I use PlayOn and even though the video quality is so-so and the videos take awhile to buffer it does work for me.
just got an email from Fred at playon support and honeycomb support with better quality is coming soon
PlayOn will currently work for Honeycomb, but we are working on changes that will improve the quality. As Honeycomb hasn't been out that long, we have had to adapt, and this should be out in the public soon.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Thank you for using PlayOn!
Take care,
Fred

I paid for the premium support too. I sure appreciate how good their tech support it. They usually respond very quickly.
I paid for a one month sub to try it out but I found that I like Plex more. Just a personal preference. It would be awesome if PlayOn & Plex could be combined.
i think that once flash gets better and smoother on android, the picture quality will be better from playon cause it uses flash, i have it on my ipad2 and it runs smoothly and great image quality, also on remote wifi too, which plex couldnt on my pc
Play on app on Galaxy 10.1
I can't seem to get the playing app to play any videos....sees my channels but when i press it it just doesn't connect. The funny thing is that if i run it Thur the web browser it plays...I thing the app does not see my flash player.

Try doubletapping tthe screen. It works for me in full screen, but not when it's smaller (on TF, not Galaxy).
It works...
Thanks...I did that by chance and was glad to see it did work....Can't wait for Honeycomb Version.....Would be nice if it had a better looking Graphical Interface.
Anyone get MLB At bat 2011 video to work on their TF yet? I installed the app but I'm only able to stream audio since the TF is not an approved device. Let me know if you've had any luck.
Are you a MLB TV subscriber? I don't have the MLB app, but I am able to log onto MLB.com with my browser and view games on my transformer by logging into my account. Video fills screen and looks very good.
I know most people don't care about this app but, I think it's BS that it's not compatible with more devices! I pay $25 a month for the service! It's not even compatible with my HTC Inspire phone either. I have to edit the build.prop file to make it work. The transformer needs to be supported. It's the perfect device for it!

Yes I am a MLB.TV subscriber. Didn't try it in the browser but I suppose that makes sense with flash installed and all. I'll do that until I get the native app working with video. Thanks!
Wait for their honeycomb app to be released. They mentioned it earlier just before the season started. Unfortunately, we might have to wait until closer to July/August before it finally gets released for honeycomb. Otherwise, just use the browser to stream the games for now if you have MLB.tv. I can't afford MLB.tv yet, so I'm eagerly waiting for the honeycomb app so I can get the condensed games.

posted this in another location but got no responses:
cant log into my mlb acct as i can only type 1 character in password blank. if i try to type other characters, nothing happens. any ideas?
Try to view the full site vs the cell optimized site. I have it working and video works really well through Dolphin for me.
Has anyone been able to use the new WatchESPN app successfully? It worked great at first when I was on their 4 hour trial period. Then I successfully added my cable company (FIOS) and when I click on any video, it does nothing. It doesn't even try to load the video.
Working here.
Did you complete your registration via the email sent to you.
do i need subscription or access via cable/satellite to espn3.com to be able to use this app to watch vbideo?
Video quality is still crappy. Unless they come up with an honeycomb version or someone could hack it to work with larger screens it is not that great
I tried, but the viewing size was too small. When I expand it, the picture was half off the screen. I switched to watching on Dolphin browser to watch my football game.
Revisiting this...trying to watch with VeganTab Ginger Edition.
Any video I try to watch that's not on ESPN3 (as listed on the schedule page) just gives me a generic ESPN logo with "error".
Going back to the schedule page gives me a "cannot load user data" message.
When I view the videos marked a ESPN3, I get audio, but the video is a still frame of the first frame loaded.
Anyone have any work arounds?
