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.

So I was browsing the Tab forum and I saw that there was a hack to make Hulu work on the Tab even though Hulu tries to block mobile devices. Here's the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855898
What I wanted to know is, will this work for Archos too? I know that there is already a hacked version of Flash for the Archos, so I know it's possible to do this.
Any thoughts?

Dunno if I'm way off here, but wouldn't changing your User Agent fix this?
just use dolphin hd browser and set user agent to desktop
I believe what hulu does is it detects what kind of flash your using. it doesn't accept the flash that adobe released for mobile devices. so user agent doesn't solve it. but I can't say I know if that flash hack works for Archos, I might test it later
User agent does not work for me in Dolphin HD
No success. Any other tips? I am willing to try.
I followed his instructions to hexedit the file and HULU is now working in Dolphin Browser. But it is so slow and choppy that is completely unwatchable.
We might have better luck once we get the GPU optimized version of flash from archos.

Theoretically using a proxy website (or anonymous browsing website) might work. However since it transmits from hulu to another site, and then to you it might be slower than other methods (like simple browser masking).

Are the other videos you watch online choppy as well? Where did you get your version of flash? (Is it one downloaded from the market, or is it the gregmattersen droid x version that was posted on the archosfans site?)
I used gregmattersen droid x version. I just tried a youtube video and it was choppy too but not as much as the Hulu site.

yeah but the bitrates aren't even comparable. Hulu uses 5x or more what youtube does on SD... that means lag in streaming and lag in processing.
I think the optimized version of flash is the answer, once Archos gives it to us. nice to know we can hexedit it and get it working though

It may not be ideal, but for the time being people who are interested in watching Hulu might be able to get it to run through the widget linked on the page below. Since its running through a widget in a smaller size it may not be as taxing on the system and allow video to play smoother (until an optimized flash comes out).

What version of flash did you hack? I would think you would need root to do this? Can you sure your hacked version of flash so I can test it?

I used the one from this post http://forum.archosfans.com/viewtopic.php?p=284672#p284672
Sorry I don't have the files anymore, I deleted them since it's totally unwatchable plus I don't have root anymore with the latest firmware.
I don't know if you all heard, but Hulu Plus (the paid version) will be coming to Android soon.
archos 70 hulu not working
ok first off, i am a major league amateur when it comes to hacking, rooting or anything so i will need bigtime simple step by step instructions.
i have an archos 70 with the latest firmware update. i wanna watch netflix and hulu on it via my hdtv. i know hulu blocks droid/mobile devices. i tried the user agent switch, the hulu widget and the fixed flask apk. i probably am doing something wrong but idk what.
any and all help will be appreciated. thanks!!
I think the only way this will ever work with any margin of success is to capture the stream that is coming from Hulu on a computer and recompress the content to something with an appropriate resolution/quality for playback on the device.
Or download the torrents of your favorite shows...
archos 70 streaming netflix and hulu
so far i have had no luck with anything. tried teamviewer on my computer, using the archos to access it, but the video was so laggy it was unwatchable. sure hope someone figures out how to trick hulu or netflix so i can stream it thru my archos 70 onto my hdtv.
again, total noob here, with no clue how to hack anything but willing to learn.
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.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6EAVXY7P
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.
I am at a loss here and hope someone can give me a hand. No video playback on any of my devices.
tested on so far.
Droid1 running 2.3
Incredible running 2.3
Thunderbolt running 2.2
Galaxy Tab running 3.1
AppleTV2 running whatver pos latest os is on there
my server is a Windows Home Server 2011. my router is a D-link 4500
Port 32400 is open to UDP/TCP also
tested playback on mkv,avi,wmv,mp4 and streaming plugin with all failing
no errors just dont play,
any help would be epic at this point..
are you able to access "http://homeserverIP:32400/manage/" on a desktop other than the home server?
The phones you listed, is that just stating what firmware they have or that they are streaming with that firmware?
Custom ROMS have been known to have issues, for instance, I stream no problem to my stock Captivate with 2.3.3 installed, but I have an issue streaming to my Galaxy Tab 10.1 with TW... (funny thing, both are leaks from Samsung not custom ROMS)
More info about the devices your trying to connect with might help.

I don't think many people run plex here. I only had an issue with getting plex working was when UPnP was enabled. I disabled the service and did the firewall settings and enabled it again, been working no problem since.
With as many devices you have trying to get working, you might be better off going to the plex forums and inquiring there. http://forums.plexapp.com/
I've read through before and they do not support custom roms, only stock. And as for the galaxy tab with calkin's, it does not work for me either but it does on stock honeycomb and the first KFC touchwiz release. I am hoping the new official touchwiz will work out of the box. Good luck!

Yeah which version? The only one that worked for me was KFC release. So if its KFC based then its the Euro ROM and I am only interested in the US release.
I tested KM7 and KG8 and both did not work for me, but it did on my Captivate phone.

I haven't found a format it can't stream I have tested extensions *.mkv, *.divx, *.avi, *.m4v.
It did have some troubles with mkv that had DTSHD as the audio, but they have released two updates since and I have't tried again. I set all audio to downmix to stereo to help with keeping the bandwidth down.

Yup, same here other than KFC. Waiting for the new TW to release to see if it works on there (crosses fingers)
do you think it is as simple as the netflix issue and just a lib has to be swapped out?

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.
