I updated to ICS and tried the flixster app I downloaded and also from the website itself and cannot get any of my movies I own to play.
Is flixster compatible with the Rezound? If so, anything special that needs to be done to make it work?
Using the website, the loading of the movie just spins and never plays. From the app, I get an error message about a security problem.
I'm not rooted.
Thanks!

you might need flash player! keep looking in Themes and Apps and im sure you'll find it.
because the flash player app development team stopped supporting it on after Gingerbread devices.
I have Adobe Flash 11 and utilize Dolphin Browser to play videos from other apps, websites etc. with no problem.
Do you use Flixster on your Rezound?
If I know it works on the Rezound from folks using it, then I'll keep trying. Otherwise I've learned not to chase gooses especially when I have other devices I can use for Flixster!

I do have a rezound and I tried flixster on a 4.0.4 ICS rom with 2.5 G network and I was able to play a couple trailers without any problems.

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
Flash widget

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.
I love the new justin.tv app for watching ESPN, CNN, BBC, etc. Also tv shows stream is the bomb. THe only thing that bothers me is the video stuttering that happens with flash video on any app/browser. The audio always comes through wonderfully, but the video is jerky. I've tried a couple different flash versions, including the market one, but all give me the same results.
Is the same experience everyone else is having? Any have any fixes? I'm running the latest .6.8 froyo on emmc.
flash
Im running HC and have no flash. What justin.tv app are you talking about and how are you getting flash running.

I am running froyo which you can just download flash from the market. I use the Justin Viewer from the market.
Wondering if anyone has got them both to work? I have working hulu but when I open Netflix I get a black screen and after a minute Netflix fc's. When I uninstall Netflix then reinstall it will work with it then hulu will not play videos anymore. I think it is a pro lem with flashplayer but I am not sure. I have it worked fine when I was using bamf rc4. Any help would be appreciated.

There are other threads with other versions as well.
Netflix seems to work relatively well. Perhaps a little stuttering but it's acceptable. I haven't tried Hulu as I'm waiting on a working Hulu+.
After trying a couple uninstall and reinstall I got them both to work. Thanx

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?

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!
Is anyone currently able to watch Hulu either on the website or through the Hulu Plus app?
If so, what Rom are you using and what version of Flash?
I can get to the website and start the video but so far after it plays the first commercial the video will stop, the audio will play but the video freezes
OR
It will play until it gets to a commercial, it will play the commercial and ten never resume playing
OR
it wont even make it past the first commercial, it will play the ad but will then stop playing and get stuck on a black image...
Ive tried CM7, Flashback, Vegantab Ginger Edition (couple different versions) as well as multiple versions of Flash...
Having the same issues. 1.1bl, Vegan Ginger 7.1, Vgeezyflash.API 11.0
Having issues too.
Using the Flashback 10.0 alpha (Honeycomb 3.1) rom and can't get hulu or most flash items to load right/
If I click around and end up hitting play I'll get sound on hulu, but that's all.
I think it has something to do with later flash versions using Hardware Acceleration and the gtab not supporting it or something.
I've tried the stock browser, Dolphin for Pad, Dolphin HD and Opera Mobile/mini all with the user agents set to Desktop.
I've tried flash from these locations:

I always get the same result.
The websites I use to test are, newgrounds, hulu and a google search for "fart soundboard".
On Hulu I only get sound, on newgrounds flash items are just a blank spot and the fart soundboard will make noise if i click on it but I can't see any of the buttons I'm pressing.
I've read other posts of people saying the have got hulu to work but they fail to mention where the got the flash apk.
Get the PlayOn Mobile app and stream it as well as many others right from your pc to anywhere your connected to wifi, been using it awhile now and until we can stream directly from the site, this is a GREAT alternative

Thanks for the tip!
Update:
Using Opera Mobile 11.1 (with the user agent set to "desktop" in its settings, from this post and the latest version of Flash Player 11 from the Android Market get's flash based websites like newgrounds.com and my flash based eTextbooks to work correctly! So that's a decent enough work-around for my issues.
Hulu.com works better than with any other browser but still won't actually play videos.
