Not exactly, other users including myself have reported massive lag and drops in FPS which make the movies unwatchable.
An official HBO Go app would be nice to have.

Crackle App

So I tried this on my tab and I only get audio. Funny thing is that it doesn't work on my DROID at all. Cool think is that the website works fine via standard browser. Watching mib over wifi right now in 480p

Btw if anyone wants the app to mess around with it let me know and ill throw it up.

droxid,
Could you upload the apk for it.
So this is the app that I got off the market and sideloaded on my tab.

My issue is that I get audio but no video. Let me know what you guys get.
On a side note....video through browser works flawlessly.
audio works but picture doesn't.
Has anyone had any luck with this?
Works fine in just the browser.
There is a new version showing up in the market for Honeycomb tablets.... but it won't allow me to download it. Says it's a "developer test".
I read an article that it's now available for the Asus Transformer. Hmmmmm. Wonder where.
Also, it's advertised as coming with the new Sony tablets.

[VIDEO] Youtube, Netflix, MX Video Player Review on Cyanogenmod for HP Touchpad

In this video, I review several more Android apps running on the Cyanogenmod Android Alpha for HP Touchpad.
I cover:
Youtube
Netflix
Swiftkey Tablet X Keyboard
MX PLayer for video playback
I also take a good look at the quality of playback for both 720p and 1080p video.
Wow, I really thought this would spark the discussion of "which keyboard is better".
Go figure.

Yea, I expected more posts in general since CM7 was released but it seems like there are less. Maybe just me though.
Nice video btw. I like Swiftkey X but its kinda expensive for a keyboard.

I only got the trial for now. I'm not sure exactly which keyboard I will end up with, but Swiftky is pretty awesome so far.

yeah me too!! its driving me insane, i have gone to older versions, messed with permissions, i cant get it to work.. any help?
I had backed up the previous version of the Netflix app using Titanium Backup so I just restored/installed that one back and it works. Not gonna be updating to the latest version until it works.
How did you manage to get it working? I can't download it via the market. Swiftkey X.

Watch a movie while surfing the Web!!! Stick it!!!

I came across this app by chance while bored and searching for new apps to play with and wanted to share with the community. If this has been shared before (did not come up in a search for me) my apologies.
While this app is still young and a little rough around the edges, it's still pretty awesome. It allows for a resizable and movable pop up window overlay (that's themeable!!) to play a video as you do other things like surf the web or play a game. Think Picture in Picture on your TV.
It even allows multiple instances of video under a lot of circumstances. Basic but useful multitasking all the way.

It's $1.50 in the android market and definitely provides something that made my iOS friends at work VERY jealous of today. I added some screenshots of it running on my TFP. Video ran very smoothly even with Fruit Ninja playing in the background or multiple tabs.
P.S. It also ran smoothly on my Epic 4G on Gingerbread though it's not as useful on a phone screen!!
Can you resize the video window?

Yes. You can manually resize by dragging the arrow on the bottom right corner or expand by pressing one of the soft buttons on the windows titlebar.
I actually was able to play 2 videos simultaneously on my Epic 4G's 480 x 800 display.
You can also position the window to any part of your desktop if it gets in the way.
Just ran across this yesterday. Pretty awesome!
They also have a nice free calculator app that floats on top too.

Would be cool if you could run apps side by side(Netflix, web browser)

very cool, was hoping to find something like this!
Aside from smoothing it out and getting rid of some small glitches I just wish it had the ability to go fullscreen.
Just tested this on my Galaxy S2 and its very impressive !
Great find, i cant wait to try this out when my prime comes back!
Thanks for the heads up! Just got it! Awesome!

Interesting to note that the next version of android with the help of Intel will finally have a windowed environment. (didn't say windows, as I don't want to get sued)

watching a Movie now as I type this. I think the video format would make a big difference in the quality of play back. My current movie is a MVK (bluRay) file and it's incredibly choppy. But pretty impressive just the same!
It's not using the hardware videodecoder of tegra 3. I hope they can fix it. Because this app is really awesome.

I've had great success with 720p mp4's. If this is without hardware decode then I'd love to see what happens if they do eventually add it. Overall I am very pleased with the app and hope that they continue to improve it.
works great! I wonder if this can be done streaming a video from your pc?
I converted some mkvs to mp4s and they play very smoothly on my prime.
I tried playing a .3gp video on my Xperia play and it also played very smoothly.
somebody give this man a medal...extra smooth on the prime

What did you use to convert it? Any programs i try using (forget the name, derp) either come back unplayable format or really choppy or crap quality from blueray rips.
If i wanted to re-encode the movies i have to the exact resolution of the TF201 for best quality and lowest file size, what do you suggest?

FREE: Improve youtube lag/stutter/buffering with TubeMate

this is just a suggestion for anyone that is having the same issues as me, which is simply constant lag/buffering issues with the stock youtube app. running on what i felt was a fast enough internet connection, i would constantly have buffering issues both on HD and non-HD (a lot more consistently with HD).
after looking for weeks, i found an app called TubeMate (http://goo.gl/mzrZT)
it is currently only available via the amazon app store. it seems to have a few other features besides viewing the videos (like downloading, downloading as mp3, etc..) but all i really care for is being able to stream a video in HD quality w/out looking embarrassed.
hopefully this will help some of you that are also experiencing this issue. if you aren't, well i'm really happy for you.
Since its a free app, upload the apk.
didn't realize DLing from the amazon appstore would be a big deal. but here you go.

I could be wrong but when I downloaded it the page said a "paid app free a day". Does that mean its a paid app?
Sent from my Droid X using xda premium
you can get it here for free
http://www.androidfreeware.net/get-youtube-tubemate.html
for the guys involved in this thread so far, are you also experiencing buffering issues with your prime and if so, let us know if TubeMate helps out. i've certainly seen a HUGE improvement with all youtube videos to a point where i only stream HD now.
The app works great and also allows you to download video or save it as an .mp3
I have used this app for years on all my devices and on my prime since I purchased it. Wouldn't use anything else great app

Is this app optimized for tablets?
Yes it works great on my prime

i have installed latest tube mate app but can not download any video. it gives an error.
screen shot is attached.
please help
I use it to download videos, not stream. The UI is rather ugly ;P
Can someone clarify: Is this app a REPLACEMENT app that uses youtube (what I think it is)? Or is it an app that somehow optimizes the native youtube app (what I hope it is)?

it's another app that does not optimize the youtube app.
while i love it and still use it, i must put my disclaimer that the issue with the laggy youtube ended up being the Wifi/BT issue. beyond that, it still speeds up buffering better than the stock app.

I haven't had any real problems with streaming vids, but I might check it out regardless. Faster buffering is always nice.

Okay, just wanted to thank you for pointing out the app. It's great, love it. I' ve hit the thanks button.
the ui is ugly in this app but it works amazingly faster than stock app. plus it lets you download the videos or you can download them as mp3 to listen in music player. works great. I love the look of stock YouTube app but sick of the buffering on some vids. I have high speed wireless so no reason it should be buffering like that. this app eliminates that basically.
whenever i click to watch a video in tube mate it pops up asking me which player to use - youtube or tubemate- i choose tubemate but then the video doesnt load...anyone else had this problem>?
should be called buffer be gone!!
Gotta say +1000000 for this app, I use Crackle to watch some movies, took away all the buffering, youtube too no more buffering..... excellent app!!!

ICS AND hbo go

I had hbo go working fine on Gingerbread but not luck with ICS and was wondering if anybody has been able to get it to run. And if so how?
Thanks.

Not sure, but it's probably an issue with there is no official ICS for the Rezound so it isn't compatible with ICS yet . Once there is an official update I am sure HBO will fix there app otherwise I am not sure if anyone has tried to hack it to make it work.
I have been looking all over for a work around but have had no luck. I hope it becomes available soon for ics! I miss it and will definitely keep eye out for it. If anyone has any luck or any news please share! Amazing app!
Quite an annoying app. Doesn't work in ICS but also doesn't work in a jail-broken iPad 2 although it works fine in a stock one.

It is HBO on demand. It has all their content. It has every season of all their original content like Oz, The Soprano's, True Blood, Eastbound and Down and all the others you can think of.
It also has a ton of movies. More then what is available on your TV.
I just installed it on my Wife's Rezound still with GB and I was pretty shocked to see all the content that was on there.
Was looking to get it on my Galaxy Nexus though!
HBO Go with ICS through Dolphin HD
I couldn't get the Android app to load on my Touchpad with ICS (CM9) either. But I was able to use the Dolphin HD browser, set the User Agent as Desktop, the go to the HBOGO website and login.
The videos are not optimized for this ROM or maybe ICS in general. But, after a lot of buffering, I was able to watch a recent HD movie. The resolution was good, but the aspect ratio seemed wrong (squeezed vertically).
This is adequate as a temporary workaround, but there are too many display and buffering issues to use it regularly, IMO.
