Hello everybody,
Since I got my first android device some time ago, I've always wanted to play Hulu without having to pay for Hulu+ using I don't remember amount of methods. Hacking flash, changing the hulu+ app, etc.
Anyway, our friends from Wondershare Software Co., Ltd. made a player called Wondershare Player that goes to the Hulu page and bypass their flash plugin check and using their own player you can watch Hulu videos without having to pay for Hulu+. The downside is that you don't have the feature of the continuous playlist and the Hulu page doesn't register your views on your watch history.
Some of you already know this (thanks for sharing ). But for the ones that didn't know, it works like a charm in our LG Optimus G. And as the Crackel advertisements will say "You can get it from the amazing lowest price of FREE".
Here's the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wondershare.player&hl=en
Hope it helps!

Works amazing. But I doubt it will for long. I've been using the Hulu flash hack flashex 2.05 forever. It's not as reliable as an app and it needs to be run after every boot up.

I will try it out tonight!
It doesn't seem to be working for me. I went to Hulu and tried watching a Family Guy episode that had the little Hulu plus symbol on it and when it plays, it only gives me a clip 1:30 long. Logging in is impossible as the zooming is completely messed up in the app.

It only lets you watch free hulu videos. The same as the desktop site. Any videos with the h+ icon require hulu plus or (only for some) a dish network subscription. If you can't watch it on a pc, you won't be able to watch it through the app. The app does not give you hulu plus but only enables playback on a mobile device without hulu plus.

Here are some great alternatives to netflix for your touchpad.
Hulu , works great but you may need to patch your browser to make it work.
epctv.com , watch live online tv, I watch CNN live on here.
crackle.com , they have a big selection of movies. Its not netflix but hay its free.
zinc.tv , you really should check this out. Online media center for your touchpad. Watch all kinds of shows for free with a great interface.
Epixhd.com - Great alternative to Netflix.
some of these sites may not work with ad blocker installed.
if anyone can think of others, please share.
tv.blinkx.com
and
sidereel.com
they host LINKS to sites that host the episodes so as far as I know (I could easily be wrong) it's legal.
If you have a hbo subscription wwwhbogo.com.
EPIXHD.COM works great on the TP. Just watched The Captains on it in HD.
thanks for the links!

This is a GREAT list!
Any idea how someone would be able to watch/listen to NFL games on the touchpad, or even at all? We recently moved 2 states away and won't be able to follow our local team.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

probably using espn online since it's flash.
Also, al jazeera english has a live tv stream for news on youtube.com
"wwitv.com" EXACTLY like that. Its a crappy site but a great way to watch live broadcasts. I'm watching Fox's live broadcast from NY right now. Decent framerate, always live.
there is also orb streaming for the touchpad - (http://forums.precentral.net/hp-touchpad/294298-orb-media-streaming-awesome.html)
I've use orb in the past with dishnetwork, works great.
im looking forward to netflix finishing their switch from silverlight to html5 video. they already did for chrome os. when everything is sorted out on it, itll be open to linux and the others soon, and hopefully we can watch it in the touchpads browser soon.
Is there a patch on Preware for adding Hulu support to the browser?

the app video flood hd is really nice it has all the links you have listed and a lot more all wrapped up in a easy UI, and there is a Hulu fix in preware, for who want that.
If you're trying to add Hulu support, make sure you add these testing feeds to Preware.

Netflix is not currently available for WebOS devices. The forum at slickdeals suggests to reply to @Netflixhelps on Twitter and request an official release of the Netflix streaming app for WebOS.
Hulu is also not currently available for WebOS devices. There is a workaround I found posted, but that I personally have not tried. I will edit this post after I try it to let you know how it goes. Google "prewarewebosbuzz Hulu". First result.
You can stream video content from your PC to Touchpad by using Tversity. From slickdeals:
1. Install Tversity media server on your laptop/desktop.
2. After installation, add the files you want to view on the library tab. To add an avi file, go to Library, File system, Files and click add item on top.
3. Open cmd prompt on your computer, and type "ipconfig" There you should find your IP address. Note this down.
4.On your touchpad, open a web browser, then type in :41952/flashlib after your IP address. For example, h t t p : // 192.168.1.0 :41952/flashlib
There you should be able to browse your folders to find the video you are looking for. One problem is that you can't rewind/forward etc.
Again Slickdeals:
Amazon Video On Demand/Prime Videos works runs rather well. Audio holds up well but you might need to use the pop out function on the player over full screen to get it to fill the screen. It might lag when first starting it up but pausing and allowing it to buffer will allow it to self correct.

or you can install kalemsoft media player http://www.kalemsoft.com/site/demos/com.kalemsoft.ksmplayera_0.3.7_tp.ipk using the webos quick install program that you used to install preware on your touchpad. dont install it from preware, itll crash.

Let me first day this isn't warez. For it to be fully functional you still have to be an MLB Premium subscriber. I'm posting should anyone have the issues I encountered.
On my Nook running CM7 the market said our device wasn't compatible. I sideloaded this from my phone and it works just fine.

Thanks. I'm going to try this out right away. Any idea if the live streaming video will work on the nook this year?
Unfortunately MLB "tested" their app on, what appears to be, whatever was around the office. The Fire is approved yet our Tablet isn't. I have a T-Mobile GS2 that isn't on the approved video list yet the AT&T version is. Last year they had an approved list...but allowed other to try with a disclaimer. I've written them regarding this.
I tried using the Dolphin browser set as Desktop and was able to connect. Unfortunately, CM7 video acceleration isn't up to par yet (hopefully soon) so I had a clear but choppy picture. It did, however, look great in my phone
......
MLB at Bat Lite is available on the Android Market now under CM7. I was able to login with my account and am listening to a game now...unfortunately it doesn't seem to show any live video. Quite annoying when the Kindle Fire is supposedly compatible. I'm hoping this might change when we get past spring training but will see.

There are very few games with live video that i have noticed. Unfortunately i havent tried to watch any but the fact I didnt have a "device not supported" error with at bat lite is a good sign.

Your link is dead. How do I get MLB to play on my tablet? I am a Premium Subscriber.
I figured a way to get Live streaming through mlb.com
First you need the Dolphin browser and set it up for "desktop" compatibility. This forces the web pages to open as they would if you were on a PC. Next, just download the Flash app 11 in the Google play store. Go to mlb.tv, sign in, and voila! you can watch all your games on live streams or archived!
It looks so good too, it streams in HD.

Found an app thats gives full access to Hulu without any restrictions plus it has a lot of other features. Its called WonderShare Player https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wondershare.player&hl=en
This is not Hulu Plus it just lets you watch videos on Hulu without getting the platform warning. If you have Hulu Plus just log in when you click on Hulu.

I had netflix..i should try hulu
is it any better? do i have too pay? >>> YES IM THAT LAZY TOO GOOGLE IT UP xD
Hulu trumps Netflix for my needs. Hulu streams CURRENT shows, Netflix does not (only after the season is done). Netflix obviously does movies better, but they don't have a great online selection...and many movies and shows require the additional home delivery service. Hulu is 7.99 a month. I just torrent the rest of what I can't get on Hulu (HBO, cinemax shows and new release movies).

Hulu is free but if you want to watch everything on Hulu you have to pay for Hulu Plus. Hulu only lets you watch a limited amount of episodes form each season. With Hulu Plus you get to watch full seasons of TV shows.
hulu+ = current tv episodes
netflix = past seasons and whole series as well as movies.
a monthly subscription to both runs you about $15 a month. i dont watch tv anymore between the two of them.
it keeps saying for hulu that I need flash but I do and updated anyone else have this problem?

It says that on most every site with this app but its fine, just hit the green play button and the video you clicked on will play. This app does not use flash player it uses HTML5 so you may not get some animations but you can view videos. This app is about viewing the videos even if animations are not displayed correctly its still a great app that lets you watch videos from a lot of sites.
great app, but...
I fear for it's longeveity, at least for the hulu part of the app. Seems to me Wondershare player is violating hulu's TOS all over the place:
- allows playing on moble devices w/o paying for hulu+
- allows circumventing of in-video advertsement
- allows downloading of streamed video for later playback and/or file distribution.
I predict Hulu/NBC will soon be coming at the makers of this app with their pack of rabid lawyers.

if you want to do remote desktop in WAN, you need to pay $.99 a month or $9.99 a year for the anywhere module. splashtop 1 doesn't have that limit.

Can anyone run this without having to change the settings to compatability mode? Video is jerky but the WebOS version is fine so it's not my host PC.
How many months has this limited time been thusfar? Last I checked a free app can't be converted to a paid app, so they're engaging in deceptive marketing. Anyways its clear they've moved to a freemium/add-ons model

got interested in this App from reading this and another thread, so i did some reading.
from what i could gather from some reviews about Splashtop2 & Splashtop HD , people are saying Splash2 free version works better than the paid version of splash HD.
so today i set up my Win 8 PC with the Streamer and installed Splashtop 2 free version on my Touchpad running the latest Cm9 3/24 nightly, i got to say I'm very impressed how nice and easy everything was to install & start using....basically windows 8 on my TP, was kinda freaky at first with navigation & opening files but i got it....watched a DivX movie with no problems....look forward to learning more, i like this App very much.
This is an app I use daily. When I'm too lazy to get off the couch to turn on my media server, i simply log into splashtop and do it all wirelessly on my desktop computer in the other room!
Its an amazing app and an amazing service. I'm considering the anywhere access feature, as it would be nice to access my Windows 8 desktop anywhere I am.

I went and took the plunge and bought the anywhere package for a year, set it up on my laptop, net-book and all 4 of my tablets....works flawlessly on my home wifi.....gonna try it on my mobile hotspot tomorrow, sure hope it works as well thru my PHS300 & 4/g dongle.......wondering how much it will eat on my data plan, guess i'll find out.....have a good one.

it did connect thru the mobile, but there were a few times the video's lagged & the audio was out of sync....not as good as my home wifi
home wifi = video & music files (excellent)
mobile connection = video (sometimes lagged & audio out of sync), music files played fine.
overall imo, the mobile connect is NOT reliable for streaming video, yet for music files and accessing host PC was very good......i can live with it hehe, guess i have to for at least 1 yr...maybe my settings are not correct....gonna play with it some more.
Hey Guys, heres the deal, I own the following.
Galaxy Nexus x2
Nexus 10
Ipad 2.
hanging out at your house with a bunch of people having beers and want to show everyone some cool video you found?
Well guess what, No one wants to stare are your stupid phone or tablet! Nobody cares.
However, Beam it to your sweet tv set and everyone will check it out.
I own a Boxee box and a WD tv live + these stream all my content and are dlna capable, etc..
With my Ipad If I want to shoot a youtube video to the boxee box connected to my I just hit the airplay button. This is seemless and fast.
However it does NOT do HD.
On Android you cant do this manually. BOO!
This is until I found imediashare. This app finds any capable device on your local wifi network. Smart TV's Boxee box - xbmc, etc etc.
Go to youtube app, start a video, hit share - imediashare icon. BOOM, goes right to your tv set.
The best part in all this is that it will beam HD, I tested by beaming the new Lincoln movie trailer,
started the video hit share, and my boxee kicked the tv display to 1080p and it played Beautifully!.
Check it out its pretty sweet.

They have a light version too, but i think its nuetered to sd content..
This also shoots any other media on your android device as well.
cool app and no wires needed!.
Cheers!
Great! I'll give it a shot and report back in a while
Thanks I was looking for a good airplay alternative. This might fit the bill nicely.
I've been using Twonky Beam with pretty good success beaming media to my Roku. It is completely free, which is great. Quality looks fantastic although I'm not 100% sure if its full HD. As far as I can tell its just passing on the link to the video stream directly to the Roku and nothing is actually streamed via the phone.
Anyone else have experience with both?
