It looks like if you use a hosts file for adblocking. Hulu will just sit at buffering when it tries to load the ad. Anybody else see this?

I'm using Adfree and didn't see this...

The hosts file I downloaded is definately the culprit for me. guess i have to find what I need to remove from my list. blah.
edit: removed everything that had "hulu" in name of my hosts file and it works fine now.

adfree blocks hulu tested myself
if its not then you're not using adfree correctly
just go into adfree and revert back to normal host fiand revert back to blocking after

if you're using CM7nightly roms its required to reinstall adfree's host file after every nightly update maybe you have adfree installed but not using adblock host?

works good. still showing annoyoing ads even when paying them but at least it works

[Q] Can someone pst the youtubetablet.apk for me?

From 3.1 3g I guess since I updated my wifi with brd's method. I'm having some issues.
here ya go
ok uh...how about the odex file, can i have that too? I'm getting force closes when I click on my subscriptions and a couple other things. The app fro the marketplace works fine.
my bad.........uploaded from the xoom and didn't notice the "invalid file" message. just change file file extension from .zip to .odex.
Installing those doesn't work, but you know what did? Unsubscribing from machinima. Machinima is what was crashing the app.
Funny.......funny strange, not funny haha. Glad you got it fixed though.

[APP] Hulu Plus - WORKING!

Follow these steps to get Hulu Plus working:
1. Delete any copy of Hulu Plus from your phone.
2. Download the file from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19377222&postcount=7
3. Extract the 3 files into your TitaniumBackup folder.
4. Restore Hulu Plus from Titanium Backup using App+Data.
Thank derek4484 for providing the files since Rootzwiki did not host it anymore and thank him in his post too.
Note: In order to use Hulu Plus, disable ad blocking using AdFree or any other similar app.
This would complete the Captivate
any updates? Anyone found a workaround to get hulu plus app to work on the captivate?
Sheb
This needs to be done already
If you are rooted just find a titanium back up of the app ( it is somewhere in this forum) and back it up. Worked for me and I do believe it is the only work around. The hulu app checks for compatibility in a different manner then Netflix did. Netflix was easy to fool
Do you mind attaching the TiBu backup for the Hulu Plus app since it doesn't seem to be available on Rootzwiki anymore.
I found the Hulu Plus backup and restored it with titanium backup, but it still didnt work. As soon as I started Hulu plus a big red/white error window popped up and said device not supported.
Edit: OK I only restored App from Titanium Backup. Once I restored App+Data it works great.
Just extract the three files within this to your titanium backup folder on the SD card, go into titanium backup and restore app+data. Should work.

Nice!!! I just tried this out and it works great. I havent found any bugs yet but will update if I do. Finally Hulu Plus for Captivate!
Edit: Ok I have a bad wireless and 3g connection at my house but after the advertisement loads I can't get the video to play even when adjusted to low quality. It says your network appears to have problems. Let me know if its working for you and I'll try again on my campus wireless tomorrow and when I have better 3g service.
Hulu +
Worked!!! Awesome! Tx.:d
Can either of you all confirm that you are able to stream video? I still can't get past the advertisement screen.

This is probably because you are blocking ads via your /etc/hosts file. If you are using any non-stock ROM this is probably true. This interferes with Hulu's ads and prevents it from continuing. If you download and install the "AdFree" from the market then use it to revert to the non-blocking hosts file, then Hulu should work. When you are done watching, you can run AdFree again to reblock ads (if you want).
I've been using ad free and trying to revert my host file but I still can't get past the ad screen. Any way I can do this manually or other possible solutions?
Sent from my Samsung Captivate running Andromeda³
Well, you can look at the file /etc/hosts, if it has been successfully reverted then it should just be one line:
127.0.0.1 localhost
You can probably do this manually if you use root explorer (or equivalent) to make the file writable.
This works for me great with WiFi, but hit and miss on 3G, depending on signal strength.

I checked the host file and it has been reverted. Still running into problems though. I get to the screen of Ad: Your video will resume soon but under loading circle and buffering it says: It appears you are having network issues. Please wait, or try again later.
Im going to mess around with clearing data on things today and see what happens.
Works great. Now does anyone know how to get around the 8 bucks a month you gotta pay to use it

Please can someone help me with this issue?! My sister have a Samsung Vibrant and after one whole night, I finally rooted her phone with Superoneclick just to help her install Hulu Plus on it. I got the app working but like so many others, I am stuck on the buffering screen!
I've tried the AdFree method of reverting my host file, rebooted, but still no go. I've tried uninstalling AdFree, rebooting. No go. I've tried booting into recovery mode to clear cache but no go. I've installed ES File Explorer to manually view my Host file and it is empty except for the 127.0.0.1 line. I am literally pulling my hair out.
Is there any other way to unblock ads on the phone to get Hulu Plus working? Is there like some sort of secret cache that I'm suppose to clear using a secret utility I don't know of? Please I need help!
I was never able to get it working on my phone either. I'm convinced it won't work on froyo based roms. I get the same issue with it never being able to get past the buffering screen even with a clean host file. If you are ever able to get it to work on a 2.2 ROM let me know.

Thanks for the quick reply. Sucks for you to hear this but at least I'm glad I'm not the only one with the problem. I'm regretting ever telling my sister to get an Android phone. This is so ridiculous, although I understand this is not exactly the operating system's fault.
I'm about to give up on getting this thing to work on her phone. It's madness.

Netflix wants to update, but won't

Every time I run Netflix, it says there is a new version and it wants to update. But if I click OK, it just says a required component is missing and then goes back. What's up with that? Should I do an uninstall and reinstall? I know this thing seems to be constantly on and off the market, so I worry about doing that.

Hit Cancel or No. Watch movies. Profit.
Hmm...it almost seems too simple.
Granted, it works as-is, but it just sort of annoys me.
I have run into the same issue. I simply copied the current, up-to-date Netflix apk off of my Droid and put it on the SD card of the Nook. Installed it from there and everything is up-to-date with no annoying notifications.
I was having the same problem. I am running CM7 nightly off SD. Netflix was not showing in the market so I could not update. I searched and found this file --"com.netflix.mediaclient-1.apk". I loaded the app to the SD card using Samba Filesharing app and installed it. It updated Netflix, no more problems. Hope this helps
Cool. Thanks, guys.

Are you running adfree or another ad-blocker?
I'd look at the Play Store for the apps you've installed. Look at the one-star reviews and see who *****ing about ads in the app.

You won't find one in the Play Store; Google did a "house cleaning" and pulled all of the ad blockers.
I'd recommend adfree at:
http://adfree.bigtincan.com/index.php
You'll have to manually install it, copying it to /system/apps, and ensure the permissions are set to 644 (rw, r, r).

i just tried two ad detectors(appbrain ad detector and trustgo ad detector) but they couldn't find any..
i'll look into your adfree app, thanks!
This annoying ads come from apps downloaded from untrusted sites or cracked apps, most of them are adware who pretend to offers you free apps when it really are virus.

Are you using the most updated version 2.9.2?
+1 to what 2swizzle said. Use 2.9.2, latest SuperSU (2.36), check if your hosts are enabled in AdAway.
have the latest versions...ill try and use the webhost option and see.
thanks
2.9.2 works fine here
Use adfree. It works.
does not block ads in youtube for me
Adaway doesn't block ads in YouTube for me either, but everything else works fine.
Make sure "Reduce data usage" is turned off in Chrome.
I'm pretty sure you have to use the Xposed module YouTube Adaway to block ads on YouTube. But since Xposed doesn't support ART, no blocking of the ads on YouTube.
