Why no support from Hulu for tablets? - Xoom Themes and Apps

I'm curious why Hulu isn't supporting the android tablets yet... everything is supported except our tablets
I've seen alot of posts here for people trying to make it work, but that's it... nothing official
so is there a reason that we know of?

It is interesting there's a hulu app for the Kindle.

I have Hulu.com working on my Xoom.

Yeah, we have it on our fire and the ipad. No love for xoom
To make it work on the http though, don't the xoom need to have a hacked flash apk?

So what if there's no support for hulu. Pretty sure someone made it possible for xoom users to watch hulu on the browser. I did it awhile ago and the steps are really easy if you have rooted your xoom.

Well that's the problem... if it's rooted
why do I have to root my phone to do something that it should do from the start?
my atrix which runs a very similar OS can run hulu. it's the same damn thing almost...
or my gf. she won't know the R of Root if she wanted to root her tablet to watch family guy on hulu...

Pretty sure because the Kindle is based off of Gingerbread and not Honeycomb.

Very good point. Maybe ICS will bring Hulu without having to root etc...

[REQUEST] Netflix APK here needs modding to stream video

Yea, this would be awesome, only reason I miss my iPhone.

system dump from the revolution is there...
I downloaded, ran, and it FC's on me when viewing over wifi. hangs on "4G". Hooking to ADB right now...
Tried this on my atrix and it is not working for me either. I wonder what modifications would be needed. Would it be possible to strip out the DRM hardware check from an .apk?

I'm hoping someone can get this working! This would be awesome to have working before Netflix can get their act together!
I got $20 to the first person that can make Netflix work

It doesn't rule out any devices, it just states that future Snapdragon devices will have Netflix support.
Yeah that's crazy. Why would they not include the Tegra 2? I guess it's all a waiting game on Netflix or to see if someone can crack it to make it work.
just find the thread in here for atrix that says flash 10.2 install. theirs a post with files in it so you can watch netflix with dolphin browser. I do it now!!
maybe the 5th post down..

I just tried it says you need Microsoft Silverlight plug-in. Hulu works but I don't see how you got Netflix to work.

because the new Qualcomm cpu's have the necessary security DRM that netflix wants. Apparently Tegra 2 does not have it

Rockplayer is free but if vplayer does everything you need why don't you just buy it?

/sign.... rockplayer is good, and free, but just buy vplayer if he fits your bill perfectly....
Try QQPLAYER free from market. It plays everything I use, has subtitle support and works great. Or just buy what you like.

I have tried them all and vplayer is by far the best. It's only like 3 bucks...you will probably waste that much in snacks during a days work anyway.
Also i dont mind buy apps.... buy more apps --developers make more money- more developers come-more apps-buy more apps...
Circle of life.

Flixster

Ok I'm fairly new to the Streak7, I use Flixster to stream on my Infuse that is rooted by using the temp root remover app. Now I was trying to do the same thing with my Streak7 but it does not seem to work.
I am running a Streak7 4G on the official Honeycomb ROM it is just rooted and some system apps removed that I didn't want taking up space. I would be willing to unrooted completely if I need to.
Sent from a tablet using an app.
Also everything on Flixster's website and trouble shooting guide says I should be working unless the temp root remover tool is not removing it enough for the app to work.
Any help would be appreciated

'UV' streaming Movies & Flixster??
Does anybody reading this have Flixster & "UltraViolet" streaming moives working on their Streak-7 3.2?
By the lack of response, I would say that you and I are the only two interested in trying.
I have even talked (emailed) back and forth with flixster/ultraviolet.

From what I can gather their software is expecting the Streak-7 to only have 2.X software as the video driver is different in 3.X??

There are at least two to consider, maybe more. Dell Stage Remote App is one and Emit which needs software on your PC to be installed.

[Q] Anybody has tried hulu plus app on CM9?

Even though It works on TP, it said 'not supported device' and can't play video. Anybody has an idea how to fix it?

There is a hacked hulu apk out there, that works on almost all android devices. Google it and you'll find it pretty easily. Mind you it is the phone version so you need to rotate to portrait to browse.

You can edit build.prop to emulate a supported device.

Once rooted can you play movies from Google Play?

Either the Transformer movie or one you bought.

Yes, It seems that Google now lets you use the Movie/TV app while Rooted.
I haven't bought anything else, but Transformers plays fine on my rooted Nexus 7.
Plays fine for me.

Does anyone buy or rent new Movie/TV from Play Store?
After you bought, can you play video?
My rooted Xperia Play cannot play video, so my Nexus 7 does not root.
I'm pretty sure you can play movies /w root because of the encryption scheme in jellybean. I'm guessing that the actual videos get encrypted as app data. Root or no root, I doubt they can be copied off the device and played.
Honestly, I have a lot of respect for google in this regard....they are the only company that has figured out a way to allow users to tinker with their devices and still uphold whatever the copyright holders and developers want...don't get me wrong though, i HATE drm. Google is awesome for figuring out a solution that makes both sides happy.
I bought the season of Breaking Bad since rooting my Nexus7.No problems with purchase or playing it.Transformers plays great just as before rooting.I am stock JB except for the rooting process.
Yes you can use the Movies/TV app now.. i just bought a TV Ep the other day and it streamed just fine from the cloud.. i don't know about on my Gnex or other rooted devices
EDIT: Looks like its still not working on other devices.. just tried watching the same episode i bought on my Nexus 7 on my gnex and it kept saying " can't fetch license 901"

That's interesting. I wonder if it's actually a hardware thing after all? Well for other devices you can just use the Temp Unroot feature in the Superuser app. I've been testing this feature and it's worked flawlessly. Flixster streams Movies fine when enabled and so does Google Movies on my other devices.

Not talking about OTA Root Keeper. Temp Unroot is a separate feature in the Superuser app.
