How to get Hulu.com working? - Microsoft Surface

Hey guys, so when I first got my surface, I was having issues with Hulu, it would just stop loading after the advertisements, but then somehow it started working for me, but I'm not sure what I did. It's not working on my brother's surface, so do you any of you know how to get it working?

DId you add it to the whitelist for Flash? Other than that I had to do absolutely nothing and it works without any problems.

Working here, just checked
yeah, my bad. Seems like it was just the breaking bad series that was causing me trouble. Should have tried others before posting.
No issues here

I followed the link, I see 3 apk files, should I install all 3?
I downloaded the new client from the Xoom forum and it's working fine for me. Had to uninstall the old one first but just watched a Deadliest Warrior with no problems.
I read that all Netflix video performance enhancers are bogus. What's different about this one?

Ya they dont do anything special i have never seen any change so i just run the stock app as now that it works fine on almost everything no reason to hack someones app as it can only piss off the people who did all the work to make it in the first place but thats just my thoughts
Can anyone who lives in Canada tell me if they can get streaming on their Transformer?
I get this little popup:
This device cannot instantly stream from Netflix in your area. Visit ca.netflix.com/NRD to see a full list of devices that instantly stream from Netflix.
Weird thing is I see people using Netflix all over Calgary.
Edit: Nevermind
To get netflix working do this:
1) Make sure you are updated to 8.6.5.9
2) Make sure you download the latest netflix package here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/07...st-phones-too/
3) Install netflix from the apk BUT DO NOT LOGIN YET (If you have already please clear the applications data.)
5) Sign up here: http://www.vpnreactor.com
6) Go on your tansformer and setup the VPN in wireless and network settings. (Pretty straightforward username password and url.)
7) Connect to the VPN
8) Login to Netflix
9) Pick any video and let it play for 15 seconds
10) Disconnect VPN
11) Reboot yout Transformer
12) Use Netflix without VPN

Didnt get to test it too much, but the one difference for me was the red Netflix startup logo.
Before, it was stretched and looked a little "chunky" (almost as if in safe mode)
Now, the "Netflix" Letters are smaller and sharper.
Ill have to try other videos, but was streaming Prison Break episode and fast forwarded/rewinded, and the buffering time was quick.
Before, it seemed to take longer.
btw. installed the first link
Netflix 1.4.0 working on my non-rooted Transformer
I was able to download, install and use Netflix (1.4.0 build) today on my Eee Pad Transformer.
My Transformer is "NOT-rooted".
My Transformer is updated to Honeycomb 3.2 version.
The only issue I have noticed is that "Search" is not working, the Search issue has already been mentioned by several others on this site.

Are you using ART?
EDIT: I installed 2 MY TWC and TWC TV, both work. I'm on purity Rom with ART enabled.
You need to further explain your issues and which TWC app ? Rom? doesn't app open at all?

Well, the app seems to work for me on ART. It should work for you as well, I would suggest back up the TWC app with an app like Rom toolbox lite, (it should do back-ups without root), uninstall twc and restore the back up. It sometimes resolves crashes issues with some apps for me.
You are welcome to root your device and will find more solutions. so far, very safe to root nexus 5.

I tried everything and still no luck. I will leave it alone for now. I don't want to root the phone. I feel that every time I root a phone it goes down to ****. Reliability, GPS, pictures everything sucks. I will change my cable company but not root any more.
Thanks for your help

Your hesitation is not unwarranted, but it is incredibly easy to root a Nexus 5. I'd check with others in the community for the app and see if anyone else is experiencing issues.

If you do want to root it, that's how you would do it. I never endorsed rooting though, since I think that in this case, if you just provided a bit more info, we could work it out without the potential of wiping all the data.
Have you tried completely uninstalling the app and any others that may conflict with it?

Try to get a force close bug report by clicking report when it happens next. Post the log here and I or someone else will look at it.

[Q] Touch screen stops responding must reboot to fix

Recently two n5 we have in the family started doing the same thing,
touch screen is not responsive (buttons do work) and the device must be
rebooted holding the power button to get it working again.
Quite annoying since it happens couple times every day.
Searched around but didn't find any reports.
Both phones stock, rooted, gravity box and touch control installed.
Any ideas?
Thanks
I'm going to take a wild guess here, But try uninstalling touch control and see if the problem occurs again. touch control has no issues on my phone btw.

What kernel are you using with touch control (Franco 33)?
It was working perfect for us with Franco till about rev 29, after that we got problems with graphic errors on the display once in the while, relished stock offered from touch control installation, and now this problem for change.

Just had to be send mine back for same problem, only turning it off didn't fix my problem. Not rooted
Hmm...this just started happening to be as week this week. Happened twice today. I'm running the stock ROM & kernel.
I wonder if an update to some app is causing this.

Installed FC 33, the touch screen problem is not there anymore but the graphic distortion is back.
It happens once in the while and looks like poor TV signal for second or two.

Oh OK, if I reboot it's working fine and since 2 devices have the same problem using same set up, it shouldn't be hw problem.
Well mine has gone back.. Sounds like a different problem.

Netflix not working on rooted K1 marshmallow 1.3

Hi there,
just updated the K1 tablet to 1.3 Marshmallow. Looks all good, but Netflix stopped working. After starting a movie, it just spins forever. I already deleted the liboemcrypto.so, but that didn't help.
Any ideas on what I can do here are really appreciated.
I believe Netflix doesn't work properly on rooted devices because they're afraid you might record all the HD content and give it away to hobos.

Well, that seems to depend on the device then, because I have other devices (like my S6 phone) which are rooted and have no problem streaming Netflix content. Hmm, how can I figure this one out?
Not sure what to tell you, but Netflix does work on rooted 1.3 update for me. Have you tried uninstalling, rebooting, reinstalling Netflix?

Netflix app works fine for me too, rooted with 1.3 update.
