Thanks in advanced for the testing, we will really apreciate.
what does you app do? is it just a streaming site client?

Not exactly.
I dont want to advertise the aplication here and thast why i didnt say a description, but basically the aplication searchs over internet for tv-shows links capables to be played directly on your device, with full screen support using megavideo, frogmovz, karambavidz and other hosting services. The search results are shown in a intuitive and easy to use interface.
You can find a detailed description in the xda thread of the aplication:

You are right, my mistake, i thught it was already availeable. So I will have to wait a bit more, thanks for the information.
Maybe I should close the thread and re-open it after flash has been released.
The app is now starting up, looks, and runs great. I've been waiting for this! Android 2.2~ version on my Droid X is amazing. Just waiting for Flash...

Just tried it out on both my Xoom and Captivate.
I am pretty sure things are working on the Captivate as they should, so used that as a guide. Hehe Test videos played through each host, low Res, but no issues.
OK.. on the Xoom the UI seems fine and works. Problems come up when playing the videos. When playing a Megavideo link the MV interface comes up with no player controls, nothing else happens. When trying Frogmovz or Karambavids.. I get a black screen with no video controls. Touching the center of the screen has triggered play/pause, but I just seem to get audio and no video is shown.
I tried out playing Megavideos through their website and that worked fine for me.

Hi,
The same problems have been reported by using unoficial flash version on htc evo. The solution was uninstall flash and reinstall from market.
Are you using the leaked version of flash 10.2 right?
It should be availeable on 18th on android market for all devices and it should fix the sound with no video issue.
Thanks for the infor, it wil really help us.
I have same issue with Xoom also. Works great and love the app on my fascinate.

Hello,
I have a paid for version of TV Shows Stream, it works on my Nexus One thanks very much for that. I admit that I probably never use it, but I like it and it works most of the time.
I have a Xoom, with v3.0.1 and the leaked Flask 10.2 APK. At this time, flash content via the stock browser seems to work fine but TV Shows Stream does not seem to work properly. All browsers come up with a blank window more or less, I tried a few megavideo and karambozworths.
Yes, it works great on the Nexus One but on the Xoom with the leaked 10.3 flash you can hear the sound but no video. Hope you get it working because it would be great to watch it on a larger screen!
I probably wouldn't be too concerned for now as the leaked version is having issues in other browsers as well. I'm not sure if that'd be because they don't see the leaked version or what... but as with the others, the app works fantastically on my Droid X but has no Video or Audio for the Xoom running the leaked Flash 10.2
Ill update again when its officially released March 18th and reinstalled.
TV Shows Stream full is my fav app and I use it daily on my Droid X with no issues. Cannot wait for xoom compatibility which as previously mentioned should be resolved when the official flash file is available on market March 18 if I read correctly. I will def uninstall the leaked file and load the official 10.2 release and report back on its usuability on my xoom. Great app btw dev. -

I have the Flash leak for my Xoom and I concur the app opens and you can see the list of shows but just cannot play the video (or see the video controls), just a blank screen.
However, I emailed myself a link for a show (from within your app) and then opened the link in the email with my broswer. The video played fine with no problems. Thus I assume when the official Flash 10.2 is released this week we will be able to load the video from right within the app - as I do on my Droid X.
BTW -great app - best money spent on an app. Keep up the awsome work
tv shows
I use the TV shows application all the time on my xoom. Right now u just have to email yourself the link for the video you want to play. I copy and paste the link in dolphin hd browser. Just make sure dolphin hd is in desktop mode. I doing this I can stream video fine, thanks for the great app also I have the leaked version of flash installed.

Hi
Is a usefull workaround but we have the intention to offer a better solutions.
We are almost sure that with the official release of flash player will work as it works most of devices, but we are already working in alternative solutions.
We have already a working solution in some video servers, karambavidz and Loombo (loombo will be added in next update) will have an option for watching the videos using any of the player you have installed on the phone, even native android player. FastForward and RW completelly working and very smooth playback, as not flash player will be used on those videos. More info soon, we are hard working right now on it.
Hi
Can someone uninstall the leaked version of flash and install the official 10.2 from market to chec if the problems still persist? Thanks in advanced.
Yes Haze, I've got the paid version and the behavior is the same. On the Xoom, the leaked version was 10.2.155.67 and todays version is 10.2.166.12 so I suspect very minor changes.

In the next update, Karambavidz video links will be able to be watched in the native android player or any other player , without the need of flash player.
You can also email yourself the link and open it with the dolphin HD broser as a temporary workaround, it has been reported to work fine.
We are working on it , thanks for the testing time.
I saw mention of a few people getting the Netflix app from the revolution system dump working on the fascinate. Did any of you have any luck? If so, what ROM are you using? I had no luck on AOSP.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
Yes I had great luck and it even installed perfectly on the fascinate. Only thing it doesn't do is stream video. Apparently it doesn't on any phone as of yet but you can at the moment check your instant and dvd selections perfectly.
I've got it installed and working fine. Streaming does get an error but I saw it may have something to do with current drm setup.

Nothing is corrupt. It's just not fully finished yet and wasn't supposed to be leaked.
Some devs in the hacking forum seem to have tracked to a drm issue. I know in some of the later superclean roms there was an issue with battery drain from the drm service always running so Adrynalyne dropped it from the framework but created a patch to put it back if there was any issue. I'm on sc2.9v & I've got the netflix app installed & logged in to my acct. but can't connect to stream. Anyone not on superclean try the app with any success?
Ran the Netflix app under 2.9 and 2.9.1 successfully but with no video stream. All we can do for now is check DVD and instant queues.
It requires hardware DRM, and checks the cpu. No bueno.

Doesnt netflix instant require windows silverlight...

I'm guessing beyond the DRM issue, Netflix simply hasn't activated the service on their servers yet for this app. So even right now on the appropriate hardware, it still wouldn't work.
Installed it on mine with rooted, personally cleaned out, stock rom - same result. Hoping that devs can get ahold of this and hack it up. Has anyone tried the playon sevice that is supposed to make hulu and netflix work?
I've tried the playon mobile but it definitely needs an upgrade do to it not having a wide range for working with routers. Believe me if anyone knows anything about networking it's me and mine is setup perfectly to run playon mobile. It has never connected for me at all. Which is a bummer because playon is on all my consoles in the house and it works great! I would try it out for sure because it is actually working for others on there router setups with playon mobile. I'm really looking forward to this netflix app though. I've been using it now for a couple of days and it works amazing except of course the "no streaming" not working right now. I've unpacked the netflix.apk and have looked at the coding and there's nothing we can do to make it work the way it should. In a sense netflix needs to click the "go" button if you will on there end to make it finally work.
I remember hearing that some new Android phones that will use the new (Qualcomm?) dual core chip will have something built in that will allow Netflix DRM to function and those that don't have it won't get that capability. I think it was from This Week in Google.
I use PlayOn for netflix.
I like it because it works but its a little slow.
Video Quality: 8
but being able to get netflix now:10

Does this convert the videos to flash I'm confused? I too witness silver light loading screens every time I'm watching nfx. How might this be possible
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I assume you have PlayOn installed on both you phone and PC, right?
I am pretty sure it is converting on the fly to flv or something.
When I select netflix and choose a movie I get a screen that says "buffering" for about 10 sec and then the movie plays just fine.
sound is a 9/10 and video 8/10
hope you get it working, if you like I can post a vid of it working
Can't wait to get a full netflix ported to this phone. Is this a codec issue?
Just wanted to share what I came across, its was in zoom forums. Its a 10.2 flash with hulu fix http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12046595&postcount=1 tried it in my gtab and worked fine had to wait about 45 sec for it to get past can't load advertisement but then no prob. Just wanted to share it. I am using calkulins ROM 1.1
I agree that the Flash 10.2 is great and all, but this should be posted in the Themes and Apps section of the G Tab forums.
I just used caulkin's 1.1 and never had a problem with Hulu. Maybe it has 10.2 built in. I don't know. All I know is I never installed 10.2 alone.

Calkulin's is based around Froyo, and when I was using Vegan 5.1.1 I never had a problem with Hulu. Vegan 7, however, is Gingybread and until 10.2 I couldn't watch Hulu. The Hulu performance is...how to say "horrible and crappy" without sounding mean...well it's not great. But it's there!
Edit: Oh oh oh, I'm still asleep and just read your post again. I don't think Calkulin's has flash built in at all. Does it? Did you go to your applications settings and check to see what version of Flash you have installed?
Edit Edit: Ok, according to Calkulin's first post on his ROM thread, it does include a Hulu-fixed Flash player. I guess you learn something every day, right?
Moved to themes and apps.

There are work arounds I have seen that involve going through some other server / portal to that reads that servers ISP and then routs it to you. Rumor says playon will let you access outside the us but its a pay service. Good luck.
Oh and to make this relavent to the origonal post: This flash works better than my 10.1 fixed flash I was using.
I tried the 10.2 fixed flash and it did play Hulu but jerkily. However, I reverted to the older version because Opera Mobile would not find it. Dolphin HD did ok but Opera only finds the 10.1.x libflashplayer.so.
If it had played Hulu smoothly it might have made me go back to Dolphin but....
The new Hulu Plus app just came out and I've got a gTab with the following in the about tablet section:
Model: TnT G-Harmony
And 2.2
Tap UI version: TnT G-Harmony v1
Kernel: 2.6.32.9-00000-10.8.2-dirty
Build: FRF91
I've used this as my daily for a while. What do I have to do to get the tab to be seen as compatible with Netflix and Hulu Plus app? new build.prop? Thanks in advance.
Not sure if it fully works as I don't have an account to log in with...
However, it did stream the "free gallery" on my Gtablet running CM7.03.
Netflix definitely works on CM7.03.
I do not see them in the Market but they have both been posted around. For Netflix I just download it on my Droid (supported device) and transfer it over to my Gtablet. For HuluPlus, Droid-life.com has the app.
I've got the apk, but I get 'Device not supported' post install. Could you just try the install to see if your build is supported/no errors?
I'm searching for my new daily build and wondering what's best combo for flash, netflix, hulu plus now and video playback in general. Want to stick to Froyo I think until HW acceleration is better implemented on later versions. Also, I see baseline 1.2 and Caulk+Clem for best kernel. I'm not advanced but can follow the steps to drop a new rom on. What's your opinion and could you point me to a solid daily rom noting above?
Like I said.....it installed and I was able to stream the "free gallery", I just can't log in to see if it gives all/full functions of those with an account.
Running stock CyanogenMod 7.0.3 (stable)
It runs fine for me without any noticible issues. I didn't have to modify the build.prop or anything else; just installed it without any tricks.
I just watched an episode of The Daily Show and it ran great. The video ran much smoother than watching it via the hacked Flash file via the Hulu website so I'm thinking the video player in the Hulu Plus app plays video modified for mobile devices unlike the Hulu website.
Here is the apk. Enjoy.
Note: If you have videos in your queue that are tagged as "web only" then this Hulu Plus app will not play them. So I would recommend keeping the hacked Flash for Hulu so you can watch them via the web browser.

For Netflix I used the latest version from the Market and it works great without any build.prop mods. Same for the Hulu Plus app (see my previous post for apk). I'm running CyanogenMod 7.0.3 (stable) haven't tried it on my VEGAn 5.1.1 gTab yet.
It definitely works on Cyanogen 7.0.3. Got Netflix, Hulu+, & Flash on my tablet now.
If Plants vs. Zombies wouldn't lock up & it would boot up faster, I would have reached tablet nirvana.

For Hulu+, I see it in market using the mahimahi string in my build prop and the device set as olympus on a froyo rom based on calkulin 1.1. I too get device unsupported when launching.
For PvZ, you can get it working, but need froyo and this kernle: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1128866

Thank you for this apk. It works flawlessly for me on Vegan GE. With the netflix fix posted earlier in the link below, and now this hulu plus app I don't ever see me needing to leave Vegan GE. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15147560&postcount=13

hulu+ on Flashback 10.1
I've managed to get around the "device not supported" problem with hulu+ app working on flashback 10.1, but the video shows up in the bottom left hand corner with the top half of the vid cut off. I've tried setting the resolution of playback to every setting. I also tried different density settings for the display, nothing seems to be able to move the vid to the center of the screen. Anyone having the same problem? Anyone have any other ideas on how to get the video to the center of the screen? Sorry if this has been covered, did a search here and in the general questions sections, didn't see anything, I hope i didn't miss it...lol
I haven't tried it on Flashback but even if it works for you perfectly it will still limit what videos will play (only ones tagged "mobile") on it based on what agreements Hulu has with the content provider.
I stopped using the app on my gTab almost as soon as I installed it when I realized that I can play everything (tv, mobile, computer) Hulu has to offer via my browser and the hacked Flash for Hulu unlike the Hulu Plus app.
Just my two cents...

I don't think you missed anything. I've tried everything you have tried. The video doesn't move. I assumed that the app thinks this is an ASUS tablet which has a higher resolution. I tried editing build.prop but nothing has worked. Hopefully the new kernel will correct this for us. I cut off cable because of HULU and would like to have it on my tab as well. Just tired of looking at Froyo and Gingerbread.
up and running
Well i gave up on getting flashback to work right. Flashed CM7.1 and i have the hulu+ and netflix working...now onto get the hbo go and max go apps working.
Running CM9 Alpha 2, been running for months with no problems. Today I was trying to watch a flash video from a site that worked perfectly for me for months, but it was giving me a wierd aspect ratio. So I decided to download Chrome and see how that worked. I did, but it said that flash was not installed. So I went to the Market, but found out that adobe is not letting anyone download flash anymore. So I found an apk of the flash player, installed that, and now flash does not work in ANY app, all I get is the little blue lego box. I went to Titanium and restored a backup of Flash Player, but that still won't work. I have since tried two different apk's of the latest Flash player I found, and none of them are working at all. I have tried every browser I can think of, Chrome, Opera, Dolphin, ICS+, Skyfire, none of them work at all now.
Any suggestions?
Quick update: Flash IS working for things like ads and banners, just not for video. I also saw online that Adobe AIR might be the problem, so I uninstalled that, but with no help.
Another update: I tried my MLB app, which uses Flash player for video, and it plays video just fine. So it seems that Flash video is just not working in ALL browsers....
Flash doesn't work well in the stock or Chrome browsers. I found that if I'm tryin' to watch something to do with Flash, I need to use either Firefox or Dolphin for Tab - I use the latter at the moment, cuz it seems to work pretty well.
Granted, I have an older version of Flash (one that the Market never updated anyway, so it must be as new as it can be). Might be something to consider - install Dolphin or Firefox, THEN install the Flash APK, and you should be able to have it work from there. At least, that's what I did.
I had a problem with BBC I player but when I went into ics browser and changed the settings from Android to desktop it worked, might be worth a try .
