Gotta go through the web browser or use remote desktop.

Just a note also.. I don't think Time Warner is supported right now if that's your service

True, and very stupid that they don't. In fact, they ran a commercial for HBO go yesterday on Time Warner. Grrrrr.....

using the browser, if I go to HBO Go's website it doesn't give me an option to log in. I must download the app which isn't supported yet.

Download dolphin HD browser, set to desktop mode, and pretend it's the HBO go app. Streams flawlessly, and you can go full screen mode.

Meh, i tried this and it works for a bit then the frames start to suck

HBO Go works fine from the stock browser. about:debug, goto Settings in browser, Advanced, UAString, change to Desktop. I'm able to watch everything on HBO Go without a hitch. I don't understand how people are having problems with this. Works and looks great. Loving Game of Thrones.

Not sure either, I use task manager to kill all running apps, I don't have any live wallpapers running. Quality is good for a few minutes then becomes choppy and drops to like 1 fps.

Is your connection any good? Run a speed test.

Connection was solid. I stopped what I was doing and had no problems watching on my wife's ipad2.

Consider rooting and then getting autokiller to manage memory for you. I was idling at 80-120MB ram (which is **** because there is 750MB dedicated to the user space). With taskiller I am able to keep ~280MB free on average. I can watch youtube justin.tv hulu hbo go and other streams @720p quite easily without any chopiness. Also make sure you are up to date on your flash player.

I'm watching HBO Go on a completely stock Galaxy 10.1 with no choppiness. However, I can't seem to get an icon on my desktop. Although I got a message saying HBO Go was being downloaded, nothing showed up in my apps or download folders. I have to use my browser to go to the HBO Go website. At least it works.

Not sure why I'm having so much trouble with my tab. I'll have to check out autokiller and see if managing my memory makes any difference.

But Netflix works just fine.

i should have clarified myself, i have the subscription and game center live does not work on:
stock browser
dolphin (beta pad version and stable)
firefox (beta and stable)
on Galaxy Tab 10.1 running In Paris Rom...
it just displays a black box where the video should be and no date text in the top date selector.
the app's live video doesn't work either, i signed in with the settings menu. i click live video, the screen rotates and goes black for a second, then bounces right back to the game info.. in the device type section in settings, it says "null". not sure if that's good or bad?
Same problem here
With the same rom

Yes they do, there own ads for game center live. I get annoyed by them popping up almost after every video whereas on the team web site it comes up every 5 or so videos. I don't have premium so i dont known if they go away with subscription. Try removing the ad block to see if it changes.

You are correct. I flashed back to stock and the web version now WORKS on stock browser. I haven't tried others but I am sure they would work. So with that, is the best way to get nhl live working on ad fixed versions to track the ip packets to see which ad services it is using and then let those through the tablet by changing the hosts file? or is there a better way?

The app definitely does not work on the tablet for me, it does on the phone. Not exactly sure why but maybe it has to do with the video player on the tablet (issue Plex had with streaming awhile back ago).
As for your other post, not exactly sure of an easier way. I just removed ad fix altogether since it has been an issue for others sites like Fox and CBS.
Yeah, the app isn't working for me either. I have a Gamecenter live account already and it allows me to sign in, but every time I try to watch a live game I get a loading sign and then it goes back to the previous screen. I can listen to the audio for the games so obviously my account is fine (that and I can watch the live games from my PC).
However, I can access live games through the Gamecenter live website, so it's not too bad. The streaming quality is good, but I find the playback is choppy. I was hoping the app would be better for watching live games, but apparently not.
In all honesty I have the live video working on my other device and it really sucks. Even if they get it working its going to be low quality, and it will switch from video to audio only.
milanlucic17 is right, just watch it through the browser, if you clear the memory on the device and close everything but the browser about 5 minutes into the feed it usually gets pretty decent to watch. Also, I haven't tried but I heard hockeysteams has android support now.
I use Dolphin HD as my browser and am on stock. The video gets a bit choppy when you set the bandwidth to 1600 or higher, but it's not too bad. The quality suffers a bit at 800, but not terrible (better than myp2p.pe).
I'm hopeful that ICS helps with the choppiness, but that's a little way off.
From my understanding, the app only seems to work if you're a Verizon customer...it's hit or miss, otherwise.
For anyone with the ad-free roms:
I just downloaded AdFree from the market, click 'revert' when I want to watch, then you can click 'download hosts' again when you are done watching and it is back to ad free.. Just an fyi.

[Q] Opera mobile users: Embedded youtube vids

Been running opera mobile 11.5.3, but have had zero luck with embedded youtube videos. Any others noticing the same in opera? Tried all kinds of different settings, clearing data, reinstalls, etc. Interesting enough, i get audio, along with a black box as opposed to the video.
Opera mini opens the vids in youtube, so worst case i go to that. Worth noting, this link works in every other browser i have installed and plays the embedded vids. So pretty sure its just opera mobile unfortunately...
Test page:
http://terrillthompson.com/tests/youtube.html
I do too. Same black box. Too bad cuz I love the smoothness and speed of opera.

same here, haven't found a browser that renders as quickly as opera. rarely ever see any tiles when loading pages.
Just tested on my skyrocket... loads with no issues. So its something with the prime. hopefully fixed in a future release. guess i'll shoot an email to the dev.
this is because opera mobile needs to update it for optimal use with our device also. only sound plays out. maybe we need to leave some comments on marketplace or email the developer to address the issue.
edit: I left a comment on marketplace. seen another guy named Ryan, that owns a Prime, also left the same complaint.

as far as i can tell yeah, one other thing i wish they would fix is when you click a youtube mobile link instead of opening youtube it directs you to the youtube page, Opera needs to update so i can stop using two different browsers simultaneously
I put it in tablet mode and it didn't work for videos embedded in general section I was trying to look at. I press the big white play button n nothing shows up. I had flash on demand. So I tries again enabling itall the time and nothing shows up in that area period. SMH. Opera need to hurry up n update..lol

What I did is un/reinstall flash, set Opera to tablet mode and flash always on. Works for me. Only thing is that youtube mobile pops up. Not ideal, but doable till an update of Opera. Meanwhile I use boat browser.

[VIDEO] Hulu Fix for CM9 Android on the HP Touchpad

Some content like the Modern Family on their homepage does freeze after the adds using ICS+ browser.
http://www.hulu.com/watch/332079/modern-family-virgin-territory
That same video played in Maxthon for tabs plays but it is choppy. It doesn't freeze. "The Middle" was choppy in Max too. Didn't try in ICS+. I don't have time to test today.
Other content does play smooth. Not sure what the difference is between that Modern Family and others that play smooth. I dont use Hulu plus.
I'm not looking for support. I saw that others have posted comments on the youtube site about freezing. I just thought I would point it out in case others post about this problem.
Works great...now has anyone been able to get HBO GO to work?

Screen keeps blanking out- Hulu on Touchpad CM9
Hello Reverend,
First of all, I must say your videos are very detailed and easy for a non-techie like myself to understand! Thanks.
Last night, following your instructions, I successfully updated my touchpad to finally view Hulu (reference: [VIDEO] Hulu Fix for CM9 Android on the HP Touchpad)..herein lies the problem...
When I enlarge the screen, the video portion goes blank after about three seconds, but the audio remains on. Is there something I need to adjust? Please help. It's great to watch Hulu, but a small screen is not the best way. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
mark
Works...
Can confirm screen goes black for a second or so leaving the audio running so A/V becomes barely noticably off sync..
Good find though..
thanks OP.. uh Rev..
=o)
Thank you, Rev. It worked for me using root explorer and no PC.
HBO GO
I wish it did work with HBO GO but I get the same Message upon starting the AP non supported version of android. Hope someone can solve this. Netflix, Hulu, Crackle all work great. Just not HBO GO...

Well I get that too and I have AdFree installed. You just have to wait until the timer counts down. There is a little timer at the top of the video. It should say
Ad 1 of 2 00:30
Then
Ad 2 of 2 00:30
Wait until they are done and it should play. You wont see any ad.
I do notice that it sometimes gets stuck on 00:01. Just try again.
lol thanks i saw that and was like omg it's not working. Trying to set this up for my mom and thanks!

ICS+ Browser with Full desktop mode on.
I had the same issue in The Netherlands. I installed HBO GO on our POV Mobii, backed up the apk and installed in on my Prime. Worked like a charm. About a week ago the app itself was updated in the Google Play Store and now it is compatible with the Prime. Mind you: HBO GO has a dedicated app for The Netherlands.
Any way to record HBO go on my TFP to play when I don't have wifi?

I believe that's because firefox doesn't do well in the background, I've noticed that when I tried an IRC web client through MOZ I'd lose my settings each time I switched apps. Have you tried using chrome or the XM app? I assume those would be better streamlined...

I will try chrome. The XM app is a separate subscription otherwise I would use that. Also for some reason even though I have installed flash and it works great with Firefox, Dolphin does not recognize if for some reason.

Dolphin takes a little tinkering for flash, if you want to try that this link should guide your way. That sucks that it's a separate subscription for the app...
