Have fun watching your favorite shows.

I just installed the Flash fix found here for Hulu
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=802133
And it also works for mlb.com. You have to have an account and subscribe to the service but at least you don't have to fork over another $14.99 for the app which dosen't even stream games.
I am using the stock internet browser on an htc evo with froyo and the latest fresh rom but it should work with any rom if you follow the steps in the above link and uninstall flash and install the fixed flash and reboot..
Since the games on TBS are blacked out it will only work on archived games. But next season it should work fine for all games.
Let me know if this works for you also..
False, the app streams games.
I have it.
I have been watching games since we got flash and I never used the hulu fix or the hex edit.

Sorry... I thought the iphone app streams but android dosen't.. Might be thinking of Netflix.. Well at least if thyis works you can stream right from the browser next year and save some $$$
I always got an error message when trying to watch games. This is the first time I was able to.
Just a note, since I see there is a lot of interest in streaming video content on the G Tablet, with a bunch of people excited that we had the TV.com app working now that we have full market access.
Though we still have no Netflix, and you can hack your way into making Hulu sort-of work, Amazon Video On Demand works as is - it's all Flash video, and plays just fine on my G Tablet.
I just watched the first quarter of Hellboy and then watched a full episode of Lie to Me Season 2, which I already had in my Amazon Video Library from purchasing for my Roku.
Make sure you are on the full desktop Amazon site, not the mobile site (may need to change your User Agent depending on your browser configuration). Just click on Full Screen once the video player loads, and you'll get the movie you want in full screen glory.
Also, as with everything video-related, after sleeping and waking up, the G Tablet is a bit stuttery unless you use OverclockWidget to force the min clock speed higher. If that happens to you and you don't feel like using OCWidget, a quick reboot should solve the problem.

Are you saying that Amazon Video On Demand can be streamed on the G Tab?

I can't imagine any other way to interpret the original post.
Aside from YouTube clips I've been trying to find sites where I can watch old TV shows since Hulu and Netflix don't work. I'm not very adventurous so I have the stock build though I did use the Market Update procedure I learned here to get Market now running (thanks to all of you dedicated guys who teach us about these great features And at this point I've spent hours customizing the apps and desktop to just the way I want them so I'm even less inclined to flash the GTab.
Am interested in learning of any sites or apps that you run to watch shows or movies on the stock build. I really hope Netflix comes out with Android support real soon.
Any advice appreciated. Thanks much.
NBC.com works
I have found that NBC.com works using the stock browser and the flash beta linked on viewsonics gtablet site. Does not work with Dolphin HD or Opera for some reason. I have noticed that flash in general always seems to work best in the stock browser. Though the NBC video is kind of jerky the audio is good....could just be my connection...it is watchable though!

Could you please tell the class what rom you are using, and if there was a hack you needed to preform to make fancast work?
If you did apply a hack do you have a link to its instructions.

Cool thanks for the heads up. Gonna try this 2week thing and see how it goes streaming to my tab at work.
so far its been working flawlesly through wifi and wifi tethering
havnt tried over 3g as i dont have att sim
i only have tmobile sim card
and we all know tmobile only gives you edge
So with this are you streaming from your pc to your tab?
basically yes you need to have it running on your pc in order to stream off your tab but i have to say it does work really good compare to others where you get buffering every now then i havnt gotten any freezes or buffering yet and i watched about 4 movies from netflix already and tons of clips from hulu
I'm considering dropping my iPhone and moving over to the Infuse. That large screen is calling to me.
I have a Nook Color that I have rooted and installed Gingerbread on (thanks to this site) and I really like it. My first question is about Flash and Hulu.com. On my Nook I was able to install a cracked version of Flash that allows me to go directly to Hulu.com and play the videos there in browser. Is that possible on the Infuse?
And my other question was is this phone capable of 1080p playback. My old 3Gs just can't handle it and the Nook will chug along but playback is very slow. I have several videos that are 1080p that I would like to play without having to convert them all first. I saw another thread that the device could play them but not after it had been rooted. Which I guess I'll have to do if I want to play Hulu files.
Thank you.

Yes it has some ability to play 1080p. Actually more than some Tegra2 dual core devices.
So despite the year old processor it is still able to compete. And Samsung has been putting in multiple codec support and support for mkv sinse the original galaxy s 2 years ago. Multimedia is their area of specialty on phones. Not every 1080 p file will play but you may be able to transcode them to a lower class or bitrate or change the audio encoding which I find is most often the problem on files that don't play.
Also the browser while not the smoothest has a user agent setting accessable in the address bar by typing " about:useragent" just replace the lib for the flashplayer with one that is hex edited to look like the windows flash player and set useragent to desktop ( you can even make your own if you have issues) and clear your cookies and enjoy.
Oh. I thought Hulu had plugged that loop hole/browser trick. At least it didn't work on my Nook.

I thought so too but there are still people with hulu threads. I think when new versions of flash come out they need to work to identify the illegal users again. Also you need to make surecookies are cleared. And it may have something to do with the device as well. They may have a block list but some new devices may sneak through provided the flash player look right but I'm not sure what their servers can actually see.
Guess that puts me in a wait and see category. I was kinda hoping I could just install something like the CM7 mod and then a cracked version of flash like I did on my Nook. That works perfectly.
Thank you for the advice.
You should know that 1080p video playback only works on official AT&T or Froyo-based Infuse ROM's. The current Gingerbread ROM's don't have 1080p support (although the leaked KI3/4 supposedly do, they're not custom ROM's and may have other issues). Also, non-Samsung ROM's like CM7 won't have any of Samsung's hardware-accelerated media codecs (ie. MKV). Even so, playback is going to be affected by bitrate: if the bitrate of a file is too high, you'll either have problems seeking or it won't play at all. If the audio track is an unsupported format (ie. FLAC in an MKV container), you can use MX Video Player and set it to use S/W audio decoding.
As for Hulu, you should be able to get by with hex editing the version in your Flash libraries to the latest Windows/Chrome Flash version, and then setting your useragent in your phone's browser. I haven't tried this recently, but it was still working on my Captivate a month ago.
Well that's cool. If I can get Hulu to work without rooting then I'll be happy. I'll probably leave it stock then so I get the most out of video playback. Thank you very much for te help.

You'll need to root if you want to modify the Flash libraries within the system Flash apk. Otherwise, you'll have to reapply the modified Flash library every time you reboot the phone.
