Anyone got HBO Go running properly? - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

HBO Go installed fine, opens, and lets me sign in. When I try to watch anything, including a preview, it plays the HBO "whoosh" sound with the HBO logo but nothing else ever happens.
Has anyone had any luck on their rooted NT yet?

Mine is rooted and I have the same behavior.

I don't have the HBO service to test against, but have you tried using OTA Rootkeeper to temp un-root then view the video? That works for Amazons Video service so maybe it will work for HBO.

Didn't work. I've attached a logcat trace in case anyone is curious. Looks like it craps out with:
Code:
E/NexPlayerGuard(16800): Error while propagating events: null

Same here. This is the ONLY app I use on a regular basis that my rooted NT won't run.

Same thing here. Sticks on the hbogo screen

Good news - at least for me, the HBO Go app now works on the NT! Had previously gotten the hanging loading screen. Just updated the app to the most recent version and now it works. FYI, I'm rooted.

just rooted my tablet tonight and working fine

Works fine for me

OP here; I can confirm that the latest update fixed the problem!

[Q] Anyone tried the MLB 2011 app yet?

The lite version works, just wondering if the full version works.
Full version working for me... I haven't tried streaming live data yet, but the basic functions of the app work.
Full version works for me. I was streaming a brewers broadcast yesterday.
Works for me. I have a hard time getting into spring training games though.
+1 it woks
Looks pretty cool.
If we have mlb subscription and our Evo's get internet with flash, do we need the app?
Can we watch live games without it?

I didn't see the mlb.tv option anywhere. I'm running CM7. For people who have gotten it working, are you using Nookie Froyo? Auto Nooter? I tried editing the build.prop on CM7 to spoof a Tab, but it didn't seem to work.
For the time being, I was able to get the mlb.tv website working pretty well through Opera on CM7. That'll do, if nobody can come up with repeatable steps to get it working through At Bat, but I'd love to be able to do it through the app if possible.
I'm running CM7 and the full version works with pitch by pitch and audio broadcasting. I also have a MLB.TV subscription and can watch vlive video on the Motorola Droid X. Live video didn't work on the NC. I got the video working through Playon though. Video quality is excellent over my wifi! Watching the cards game right now even though it's on ESPN.
Same here, playon works, DROID2 works, everything works fine but no video option. Running CM7 with the tablet mods. Thinking it's either the app detecting it isn't an approved device or something with flash.
Playon with CM7, video is working for me!
It's said to work fine with the verizon galaxy tablet. I think if we can make it think that it's that tablet, it might work. Is that the Build.Prop that controls that? Anyone know the build.prop string for the Verizon Galaxy Tablet?

Yeah, that's what I meant in my post above. I changed the following in the build.prop:
ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion:2.3.3/GRI40/102588:user/release-keys
to
ro.build.fingerprint=samsung/GT-P1000/GT-P1000/GT-P1000:2.2/FROYO/XXJJ3:user/release-keys
But it didn't seem to have any effect. One thing that occurred to me this morning is that perhaps I should try downloading it with that build.prop in place (as opposed to downloading it with the original one, switching the build.prop, and then opening it.) Perhaps the market serves up a different version when you download it using one of the approved devices.
I'd love to hear from someone who has streaming through the At Bat App working on their Nook. Until I hear more info, I'm dubious.
I will give it a shot tonight. I'll trying changing it and then reinstalling it straight from the market. Will try using the apk from my DROID2, it has working video.
Tried both ideas out, no go.
I wonder if there's more of the build.prop that needs to be changed in order to properly spoof it as a Tab. Anyone have any experience in editing build.prop files for other reasons?
There is someone in the Galaxy Tab forums that clamins they got it working on non certified devices. I'll post if I can find out what he did.
Definitely report anything you find, jkabaseball. I've seen you posting in a few other related threads, and appreciate that you're as dedicated to figuring this out as I am.
Works great on Cm7. W/tablet tweaks, latest build...(has been working on last few builds) w/video, the Astros are Horrible Again, and Mark Texeira is still doing what he does best up in NYC...Go Yanks!

I got the CM7 w/ tab tweaks. You saying the video works on it from MLB At-Bat 11?

Streaming Amazon Instant Video with app pulled from Fire

check out .apk someone pulled from Kindle Fire for streaming Amazon video.

I am running it on the flyer right now. (I'm on a 4g mifi right now so it is a little jerky, but I'll try at home later).
YOu have to choose a video like you are going to buy it, but then login to your account and it recognizes if you are a Prime member and lets you stream for free.
edit: Can't seem to find a way to pause, but it remembers your place.
Force closes for me. Running the latest honeycomb leak.
Works for me!
Installed and runs just fine on my Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0. UI elements on the main page are a little bunched up, but once you get to where you're going, it looks fine. Video is top notch, although you can't bring up the native REW/PLAY/FF controls - you have to back out and go back in to resume.
One thing about logging in - the only way I could figure out to login was to "purchase" something I knew was available to Prime folks and then login. It did not charge me, of course, and remembered my credentials.
It will be interesting to see if Amazon plugs this little jail break since it is a major selling point for the Fire, or opens the Prime membership up to android in general to capture Netflix refugees.
Force closes on my Archos honeycomb tablet as well.
I'll have to try this when I get home
dont work on root
Works great on my Flyer!
I had to pretend to buy something to login and then I went to the prime members section and streamed Lost.
Awesome awesome awesome!

Someone modified the netflix app to not do a device check. Could this be done to the Amazon streaming app?
I have an amazon prime account. It's worth it, just for the expedited shipping. Also cannot run the kindle app. Just gives an error message that says " Your device is no longer configured correctly to play Amazon video." If I try to buy the video after logging in, it says "An error occured."
My device is rooted and did try rootkeeper but did not make a difference. Going to the page directly does work with flash. Some videos are not Instant, even though they may be advertised as Instant. Would really like to get the amazon app working!
read above, need the ota program to disable root when you want to run it.
Got it to work! Had to kill the amazon program, run ota rootkeeper, then everything started. Good find friends
I'm hoping Amazon releases an app with official non-Fire support. Question is, do they make more money selling Fire's or building their overall customer base? They don't make money selling Fire's, so making the app available to entice more people into their ecosystem seems like a viable business plan.
I guess we'll see...
Jeff
Do you guys also have the problem that the video playback is sort of choppy no matter if it is an hd movie or a regular one. I was trying with a wifi connection and it streams fine on a kindle fire but it is really choppy on the flyer, still watchable but choppy.

Yes. Seems choppy.

You actually got this to work on a Nexus One with CyanogenMod?
I followed the steps on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1352905
but when I try to watch an Amazon Instant Video (after entering my username and password) I get an error "Your device is no longer configured correctly to play Amazon videos."
OTA rootkeeper doesn't seem to do the trick, no matter if it's before the installation, etc.
Would anyone who got this to work care to outline the steps they followed? Exciting stuff.
How do you login with the app?

[Q] ICS and Youtube app = not working?

Hi, after upgrading to ICS everything is working much better, except for the youtube app. Pretty much every time i click on a link it says "unfortunately, Youtube has stopped" especially when you use the search function...
Is this happening to anyone else, or can you offer a solution?
I've rebooted, cleared data etc....
Any ideas?
Mine does the same thing.

mine works fine on ICS AND ROOTED
yea does that for me too. youtube app is unusable. until they fix it i will just use youtube.com
im also rooted and on ics.

Yup had this too. Not with all of them though. Some it shows some it doesn't.
Settings, Apps, ALL, YouTube... then force stop, and clear data! Mine was doing that until I cleared the app data and now it works fine!
If you're rooted, you can just use Titanium Backup and "WIPE DATA" on the YouTube app!
mine works fine without clearing any data
nup, mine still likes to troll me ...
mine seems to still be working fine. everything loads up alot faster.
YouTube does that on my phone running ICS too. It is an issue with ics and not the tablet.

Did a Force Stop/Clear Data, and so far so good, but I was only seeing "You Tube Stopped Working intermittently, so I cannot verify this as a valid fix until I test it some more. Seems promising, as quite a few app issues get fixed this way after updates. Sure beats the early TF101 days when you needed to jump though all kinds of hoops to fix YouTube and NetFlix
THe crashing happens only for HD videos , for other videos it works fine for me .
Even clearing data doesn't help with HD videos.
Even the glowball app crashes as soon as i open , this used to work fine with honeycomb.
---------- Post added at 06:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 PM ----------
Update: i was able to update the glowball app from market and that fixed it
tried to do the same for Youtube, but couldn't find the youtube app on the Market.

Hi there,
I am facing the same issue as yours from today evening. I am however facing it on the Galaxy Nexus running ICS 4.0.2. The YouTube app is constantly crashing, regardless of whether I play videos via the widget or via the actual app. I am also unable to see my videos from subscribed channels in the widget or the actual app. Only videos from Most Discussed or Recommended are being displayed.
The app was working fine until last evening and I have force stopped, cleared the cache and all saved data + restarted phone several times. No effect. It does not matter whether I am on 3G or WiFi.
Any suggestions?

Yeah, like for me. worked fine yesterday. Have no problem with the stability, just the sync don't work
And just now it's started to worked little. can now see my subscribe channels if I go under account.
on the start, main screen most discussed and recommend are showing. here is used to see the newest from my subscribe channels
Start to think that Google are doing maintenance or upgrade and there for its not working as it should.
Have we been able to watch live video with the app before???. and movie categories?? all this under the search button

Whats up people Iam loving my Prime now rooted with Vipermod. I started using the youtube app today and noticed non of the problems posted here but did see that when I scrolled the mouse across the screen it flickered at the top and that when I stream with bluetooth it takes while for it to load and keeps on reloading the video after a couple of seconds even if the video has loaded already. The second I take off bluetooth device video streams fine in HD with no reloading. Wanted to see if anyone else can test this out as well.
Yeah, mine started working again... i played with the HD settings and turned it on and off before it crashed.. and now its working. Hmmm

Are you talking about the Youtube app Hd settings and that when your turned off Hd the it would not have a problem streaming youtube. Dont think you were referring to my post but wanted to ask.
i just turned off hd in the bottom left corner of the video before it could load... then watched it for a bit... then turned it back on and it all started to work again, in both standard def and HD. I have no idea why it worked, but it seemed to
this, unfortunately, does not fix my problem. Ironic enough, everything else for this tablet WORKS so far.
Also, not sure if it's truly fact that ICS is not supported, or ASUS messed up somewhere... Either ways, here's the problem: (click the screenshot provided)
It clearly says on my other devices Youtube is already installed. However I went to Market on my TFP, and it won't show up. I go on site and the screenshot is what I get.
So, who exactly is at fault? Google or Asus?
Also, I had this bug since first ICS rollout.

Netflix - Stock vs. Market app

I rooted my Nook a couple weeks ago, but I did not debloat. However, when a notification to update Netflix came up, I think I did the update. Now, the sound is not quite in sync with the picture. Is there a way to tell if I am using the "special" Netflix that came loaded on the NT or if I am using the standard Android Market downloaded app? I'm truthfully not sure that the out-of-sync issue started after this update, but I know it was not there prior when I originally got the NT and watched a couple of videos prior to rooting.
Edit:
Oh, and I did the update while at the GoLauncher home, not the NT home (if that matters). Also, the Amazon viewer does not have this issue at all and works great (after doing the temporary unroot thingy).
I am using the stock Nook app (i.e. not from the android market) and I noticed an out of sync video the other day. I don't know if it has anything to do with the app though. Haven't really looked into it otherwise.
I was watching Netflix on my computer last night and it was all out of sync, I wonder if it is a Netflix issue and not a NT issue?
Watched a show on my computer at lunch and watching a show on my TV thru the Roku right now and both synced perfectly.
I've noticed some shows and videos (sometimes) are like this, try another movie, could be just a temporary problem since netflix is working well on my nt.
This is a problem that I've run into on all of my streaming devices with Netflix. If you go into your account (on the Netflix website) and look at your recently watched list, you can report Audio/Video sync issues.
I've got to believe it's an app (or app plus device) issue since the same movie streams fine on my computer and Roku. Checked my wifi on the NT with Speedtest and I got 16 mb/s download speed, so I doubt that is any problem either.
Does anyone know if it's even possible to update over the "stock" NT Netflix app?

If it's installed to /system/app, generally the market will not update it.

I read that if you leave the actual app in it's original install location and create a symbolic link in system/apps, then you're good to go on updates.
Thoughts?

I haven't heard that, but it makes sense. However Netflix is installed to /system/app by default (by B&N), so you'd have to move it out if you wanted updates.

So it sounds like I still have the stock app. Has anyone else had problems with the audio being slightly out of sync.
On my NT it goes out of sync for the first 30 secs maybe then usually catches up.

I am on rooted stock 1.4.0 and the Market is suddenly showing a Netflix update for me.
Very strange. I'd prefer to keep the stcok version.
Just watched 30 minutes of Airplane on the new Netflix app, works great! Im 999 rooted, not Cm7 presently.
I'm also getting an update message from the stock netflix app. Anyone know if i should upgrade? It won't replace the stock version with the market version or anything, will it?

I wish I knew. For now, I'm not going to. I have unchecked the auto update option and that seems to have prevented it so far. Just have to make sure I don't accidentally hit it when I have other updates to process.
Unrooted new nook and audio vidio sync
My new nook which I have yet to operate on has had a/v sync issues with some movies from Netflix. So I suspect it is them, not the NT.
One other thing I have noticed is frequent pauses for buffering, like every five minutes. It is running through our home WiFi (which I use through the TV with a Wii, which will pause for uploading maybe two to four times during the movie.) Do others have this? Is there any remedy for this, or will an SD card help?
every time i reboot my nook, it says there's an update for netflix in the market. no matter if i update or not it always goes back to the stock app. i have the same problem with pandora and hulu plus only i have two copies of pandora and hulu plus has been uninstalled more times than i can remember. any fixes?
I am pretty sure stock version comes in 1080p as where the market is not, however Im not completely sure just use titanium to make a back of the original and then freeze it, install the market version and check out the difference your self, if you find it to not to work out as well uninstall and restore the version that came with your nook.

Is Directv App working for streaming video after update for anyone?

I spent yesterday flashing and reflashing sample DRM packages testing JB ROM streaming apps to see if they would work, and today after restoring my Androwook backup the Directv app is giving me an error when I try to watch video on the tablet. I know Directv just updated their app today and is refusing to let the old app work anymore, so I am unsure if I screwed something up with the DRM's (I completely wiped everything and even restored the sdcard folders when I restored.) Or is the updated app just not working now on the prime or custom Roms. Noticed others have commented on the playstore that Directv app has issues after the update too, though. App works fine still on my Samsung S3.
So is the App still working for any Prime users still?
UPDATE
Not sure anyone will even read this since there was no initial response, but it is no longer working on my wife's Samsung 7+ tablet running GB either so I'm going to assume it is a general tablet issue.
It is some file change in the /system. I have yet to figure it out
