Has anyone make any success to watch Amazon's Prime "instant video" in the GT 10.1
I found this link - over in the Nook XDA forum - downloaded it, but I think it needs to be 'hacked' a little to fool the app thinking it is a Fire....
Tried it on the GT running Overcome 2.0 (3.2). The app opens, but as soon as I select a movie, etc. it FC's
I also tried it on my Galaxy S II (Tmo) (running 2.3.5 with kernel 2.6.35.11) and got one screen further - I select the movie but for some strange reason cannot get the movie to play with my Prime account....
Ideas?
Hackers?

Hello All,
Has anyone gotten Hulu to work on Honeycomb? If so, which modded version of Flash did you use? What browser and settings?
I am currenly using Flashback ROM Alpha 5.5 (Android 3.0.1).
Does anyone have information on when Netflix will be available for
Honeycomb?
Thanks,
Paul
I have not tried it yet but netflix updated today to support a tegra 2 hc Lenovo tablet.
try it and let us know.
Do you know where I can find the app (.apk) to try this? It's not in the Market yet.

no sorry I do not
I installed the Modified Netflix app where the device check is disabled.
I am able to see Available movies, My Queue etc properly.
When I try to watch a video, I receive the following error:
Sorry we could not reach the Netflix service. Please try again later. If the problem persists please visit Netflix.com (1005).
How about Crackle? I have the app on my G Tablet and it keeps saying it has been disconnected. What do I do?
Newest netflix update works on honeycomb gtab now

Great!! Where can I download it? Not available on Android Market. Unable to download (due to device type) on market.android.com.

Edit: I can not confirm if this works, as the app says overloaded and will not fully load on my gtab running GtabComb b3.2
Edit 2: It works! The video quality isn't the greatest but it works. woot

Crackle works on my CM7. But no go on Flashback or Gtabcomb. With the Flash from the market on the HC ROMs, I get only audio and with the hacked flash the app starts to play the video and then backs out, just like it did initially when the Netflix app came out.
I will try the .apk and let you know what I find out...thx
I am running gtabcom 3.2, puffin browser, and flash 10.3 from the market. It works great on hulu, not sure on nextflick.
Netflix Works on Flashback Honeycomb ROM Alpha 5.5!!
The video is a little blocky when watching the first 10 - 15 seconds. After the video caches a little, video quality is quite acceptable.
Here is the link to the .apk: http://www.multiupload.com/XTEWL8CLCZ
Awesome!!!
Can't get hulu videos to go full screen, but at least its working. Thanks for the info.
Gtabcomb 3.3 runs the market netflix app perfectly.

if you do a search in the forum I think someone posted the netflix apk.
Hulu and Netflix
Don't have any experience with Netflix, but Puffin browser with Flash from the market will play Hulu videos. But Hulu videos are choppy for me. My 2cents worth.
It works!
I confirmed this app works on vtab GE edition. Thanks a bunch for the link from droidlife!
ok so i took a video of my daughter and went to look for the movie maker/editor 0.0 its not there was on my galaxy s2 it let me ad audio to my movies but i cant do that now anyone know of a replacement app? not a video trimmer..
bump! i tried putting the gs2 video editor apk to my s3 also the one from the galaxy nexus but the nexus is slugish and freezes while the s2 just force closes.

hi thanks iv already tried that, the problem with that is it force closes on me when i switch to the audio edit part and then try to go back to the video.. also it doest let you remove the sound from the origional video like the movie maker does in galaxy s2.
Just installed Andromedia Video Editor, but unistalled it straight away as it was picked up as a threat by TrustGo Security which advised that it could read your phone book, change your browser homepage and create shortcuts without your permission.
Have to say, I love the fact I can get free apps through the Play Store, but why do the app creators have to let themselves down by building crapware into the app? Stuff like that actually makes me want to pay,
there's video maker which is free in the Samsung more services app

Hello everyone,
I was wondering if it's possible to make google's official youtube app to play every video in Non-HD mode on my samsung galaxy tab 10.1 (origianal)? Samsung released a crappy ICS update so video playback is horribly laggy especially HD ones, so I want to watch youtube videos in non-HD, but I have to keep pressing the video window, then tap the 'HD' icon and it reloads the video....and it just takes too long.
my tab is rooted, so I am willing to install a modded app IF it's available, but is there any way to set non-HD resolution as default?
Thanks!
Hi.. this is my first post on xda. Not sure if im in the right forum topic.
Im using Note 2 -android 4.1.2.
Ive come across an unusual problem today. I tried streaming videos and none of the videos are playing on both chrome and the defalt internet app. I always used the default browser video player
When a video is clicked to play, the usual black screen appears but thereafter it just keeps loading with the circle going round in the middle (attached screen). But nothing happens. I have not installed any other apps since before nor any other mods.
What I have already tried.
I have resetted app preference under app manager and stil the same issue
Tried installing MX player and tried to load the strea ming video via mxplayer still same issue.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks
Denver

SOLVED
Hello,
Love my Tab S3.
Amazon don´t support HD streaming with Amazon Prime Video App on this tablet. (only SD streaming)
With my old Note 2014 Tablet HD streaming was possible.
With Iphone 7 Amazon Prime App shows HD content. (in the same Network - 50 Mbits)
One Solution is to watch Prime Videos with Chrome Browser in Desktopmode.
But the video does not always run smoothly.
I have asked at Amazon Support - but have no great hopes for competent help.
Maybe someone can help?
is this the Amazon video app from the Samsung app store?
Hello RMXO,
thanks a lot for your super fast answer.
You are right - the perfect solution.
Everythink works now!
Again Thx a lot!!!

Ah, was not even aware it was available through Samsung's app store - I've been side-loading it from a link on Amazon's site

I read that Amazon PRime Video was supporting HDR and didnt see it on the PlayStore so I went to Samsung App store and it was there. Shame I cant find Kindle for Samsung to get a free book every month.
GLad to have helped!
So. The Amazon prime video from the play store won't do hdr. Only from galaxy apps will?

that is correct
How do I know when hdr kicks in it if it's even working. At bottom it just shows 1080p (for man in high castle)
Does only amazon video support her in this tablet right now (Netflix?) . Is the tab s3 hdr 10 compliant or is it its own proprietary format ? So if I load a hdr 10 video on to it will it play in hdr on Samsung's stock video player (and how do I know, for example my Samsung TV always says "an hdr video is playing and brightens the screen when I do
What actually does real HDR on Tab S3 or S8+? I have both devices, and have not seen any HDR content actually availible yet. Would be nice to see in real life, even if just a sample clip or something.
ya and how to know if its active
I have Galaxy Tab S3 as well and was wandering how can I make use of HDR feature. I have called Netflix support, the answer is simple: Android Netflix app do not support HDR streaming. Only TVs and Xbox app but not Android app. I also checked Amazon Prime help section. It says on Android devices following is support it: SD and HD. The UHD and HDR on TVs only. Even if I choose HDR title on Prime while playback it only shows 1080p, not HDR.
So there you have it, even both Netflix and Amazon Prime have HDR content, Android apps do not stream/playback HDR. Hope this will change with future updates.
Any more progress on this? I'm finding it a little frustrating that the guys over at the S8 threads are able to play local HDR videos over the native Video Player while we can't seem to be able to.
would love to know myself. kind of frustrating.

hi. do you mind explaining how it is you know the Amazon app is indeed running in HDR? is there some visual cues?
I've noticed today in the UK anyway, that the Amazon Prime Video App now offers HDR and Ultra HD for a limited number of series, seems to work really well, Netflix is expected to make UHD/HDR available on Android later in the year.
Like has been said though it needs to be installed via Galaxy Apps, not the Play Store.
Yes, i contacted amazon prime video, the only device listed adide ftom tvs apis galaxy s7, and ask her to update and include our tab s3
How can I play Amazon video in hd? I have contacted the support but they can't help me.
