Hulu? - LG Revolution

I'm running a custom ROM on my LG Revolution and i cant install Hulu on it via the market, even though it is apparently released for the Revolution.
1) has anyone installed on their non-stock Revo?
2) anything i can do to fix? does hulu install only on the stock OS?
Thanks in advance,
RMT.

I read in another post that changing the LCD density can cause the market to see your phone as incompatible??? Did you change yours? I was going to test this but i couldn't even find hulu in the market
Edit: just tested this with Netflix and Hanging with Friends. I had my density set to 200 and the market said both were incompatible. Changed the density back to 240 and both installed just fine

[Q] anybody have the new netflix app working?

Downloaded and installed fine on the G-tabrunning vegan-tab 5.1, but then popups keep saying it doesn't support this device every time I actually try to play something. Crap, the hardware should easily be able to run streaming hd video. Hope one of the XDA developers can fix this...

Tried the build.prop fix from nook color forums....no longer get compatible message but it bombs out when u try to play.

All indications are this won't run on Froyo. Anybody running a GB ROM getting Netflix working yet?

It runs and streams content just fine on my stock Incredible running 2.2. And I have the app running on my gTab which is on Vegan 5.1.1, I just can't stream anything. I think its just a matter of Netflix only allowing a certain devices to access their servers and our tablet is not on the list (which is only 5 devices long at the moment).
Sorry for the double post, but I found this fix quoted from Android Police in the Incredible section:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13738814&postcount=44
I don't know if it will work on our tablets but it changes the build.prop file to make the device report itself as a HTC G2.
No love with modified prop

No problem. I literally just a few minutes ago got the market working properly on my tablet by modifying the build.prop and I really don't want to mess with that file anymore unless I have to. I want to keep my market working.
But thanks for trying that. I figured it was worth a shot. Someone hopefully will eventually find a work around.
Working great on the Droid x! No luck on the gtab. Running overclocked,on 2.2.

Fortunately, my Nexus One is supported. Works fantastic on that. A buddy has the newest MyTouch, won't let him even install it to that. However, both of our Vegan 5.1.1 Gtabs let us install, no go on playing, gives the popup.
Of course, it works on my 3.7" display device, but not on my 10" display... BOO!
Netflix running on my G Tablet
My G-Tablet is running CM 7.0.3 with Pershoot's 2.6.32.39 CM7 Kernel
I sideloaded the Netflix App then moved it to the SD card.
I am running the 10.3 update of Adobe Flash Player (not sure if this is relevant)
I modified 2 lines in my /system/build.prop file as follows
ro.product.model=HTC Vision
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
REBOOT
Netflix is running smoothly on my G Tablet now.
This is a combination of fixes found in other device forums here on XDA.
I hope this helps!

I tried this on mine. Running Vegan-tab GE with standard kernel. Dumps me back to the queue. I wonder if there's something else I need to change in build.prop?
+1 on editing the build.prop... i can confirm it works... From what i'm reading around on other forums this is only working on gingerbread roms, if at all.. so if your still on a froyo base rom you may not wanna chance screwing up the tablet...
As far as editing it i used File Expert.. turned on the root functions in the app settings... then found the system folder checked it's box hit Menu->More->mount... changed the permissions to read and write... u may have to mount the file the same way too... copied it to the SD card for editing.. changed the required fields.. go back to system folder rename the original build.prop to build.prop.bak so u'll have a backup in case something goes hinky... then copied the edited back into the system folder... reboot...enjoy...
Haven't noticed any adverse effects yet market is good thus far...tegra dedicated apps show up still so I'll take that as a good sign

Another confirmation of working on CM7.0x (I'm still on 7.02).
Installed the app last night, it just allowed me to view the queue after logging in, also saying "This device is not compatible"
I edited the build.prop as described and ran the app and it now streams. SWEET

Same thing happends to me on Vegan Tab GE hope someone figures it out.
Can one of you with a working fix copy and post your build.prop? I want to compare the CM7 build.prop to the vegan-tab and see what's different.

Hmm not working for me.
Running CM7 nightly from 0508 (64 maybe? Not sure)
I sideloaded Netflix
Changed my build.prop as listed above and rebooted.
Loaded up Netflix and didn't get any 'device not supported errors'
I tried to play a video and the screen turns black but the video never plays. If I try to seek to somewhere else in the video netflix will shoot me back to where I was before I started the video.

Second this. I'm so close in Vegan Ginger. Sometimes it'll even play some audio before dumping me back to the queue. Ahhhhhhh!

Flash 10.3 with Hulu fix (Updated 6/29 to 10.3.185.25)

bigrushdog over in the Motorola Xoom forum posted this last night:
Flash 10.3 Hulu Modded (OLD)
It's running great on CM 7.0.3 with stock browser; I haven't tested it on any other ROMs or browsers. It works perfectly after reboot and no additional scripts are needed. Just uninstall your current version of flash and install the modded one above. Make sure to set your user agent to desktop if it's not already (in stock browser, Menu>Settings>Select User Agent; I set mine to linux desktop).
Note: If you were using any scripts to let a previous version of flash allow Hulu to work (to transfer the libflashplayer.so at boot, for example), remove them; they aren't needed and will only interfere.

Works best if you uninstall previous version before installing this one (I tried installing directly over the previous version and some videos didn't work properly). Tested to work on CM 7.0.3 with stock browser.

Giving it a go!
EDIT: Running Vegan 5.1.1, hulu works great! thanks!
Couldn't get it to work on my unrooted Xoom but it was too easy to get it working on my NC. I'm running CM 7.03 off an external SD. Only problem is that Hulu playback seems to stagger on the NC unless the resolution is turned down to 288. It's probably not a bandwidth issue since my 360 and notebook handle the 288, 360 and 480 without issue using the same wifi network. Still 288 is quite watchable.
Nice find OP! This works great on my CM7 setup, I can actually use the volume slider now!

Is it just Hulu that's not working or it the flash player not working either? If the flash player doesn't work at all, I'm guessing it's not compatible with your ROM/kernel combo. If it's just Hulu that's not working, did you make sure to change the user agent in your browser to desktop? If not, that could be the problem.
Raphe, Flash plays just fine elsewhere (Crooks and Liars, Comedy Central). Browser IS set to "Desktop."
Hulu shows the expected thumbnails and selecting one shows me the appropriate header but just a black viewing area.

What web browser are you using? I have the same issue with Dolphin HD on Vegan GB. Works great using the standard browser though.

Do you have flash set to "on demand" in Dolphin? This is how I have Dolphin setup on my tablet and this what happens when ever I go to a video on Hulu. I just find some other flash content on the page, look for a gray box with a green arrow, and click on that. It will activate flash and the video will load.
Edit: On another note, is anybody having issues with Hulu? I have read on a few sites that Hulu has fixed the hole and this hack doesn't work anymore but the site is running just fine on my tablet. I am watching Family Guy right now and its just like on my PC.
Vegan 7 rc1 - working perfectly!
Using Dolphin HD with the "allow plugins on demand" option, I did as 4Incredible suggested and found a separate "demand" arrow on the page which caused the primary viewing screen to kick in. Thanks so much.
Video is a little stuttery even with a strong wi-fi connection. Nature of the beast?
Calkulin/Clemsyn v.5 w/out the undervolting option activated.
I download this file, rename from .zip to .apk, and after clicking ok to install, it tells me it did not install.. running vegantab 5.1.1
Tried this but Hulu asks for 10.3.2 version which doesn't exist. Running Enhanced TNT g tablet. This also broke flash working on Fancast, CBS, etc... on all browsers set to desktop or not. Went back to 10.2 and they all work except Hulu. Fancast offers same as Hulu so no big deal.
Working on CM7 nightly 72 with stock browser. Thanks!
Works on CM 7.0.3 Stable
Big Thanks to the XOOM devs that put this together!

The download link is for an apk file, not a zip file, so you shouldn't have to change the extension. If you click the link and it downloads a zip file, something strange is going on with your computer or tablet or whatever device you downloaded the file on. I'd say try downloading it on a different device and see if that works. If this still doesn't work, let me know and I'll post the apk directly.
Works on Vegab Tab
Rom Vegan 5.1.1, stock and dolphan browser both work. Hulu plays in igoogle widgit too.
WENT FROM 10.2 HULU fixed apk to the 10.3.

Hulu Plus Apk (Droid X)

Has anyone got the new Hulu Plus apk working on their Nook Color? The app installs fine and everything seems to work fine until you go to play a video then it tells you video on your device is not yet supported. Is there a way of tricking it into thinking it's a Droid X or some other supported device?
I've got HBO Go working, now all I need is my Hulu Plus...
Thereis a whole thread on this under themes and apps:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1040971
Bottom line is it will work if you use CM7 7.0.3 (later versions based on. 32 Linux kernels won't work).

Install nook color tweaks from market and go to display options. There is a check that disables .32 kernal and uses the old one
Hulu works fine for me on nightly 160

That is just changing the framerate buffer, not the kernel.

Just uninstall and install an older market. Here is a great place to find them....http://www.mediafire.com/temasek#2f5c1db3in1h5,1. Dont forget to thank Temasek....awesome developer
tempest6253 said it was due to changing screen density. I'll change it back to normal and see what happens.
If that don't work then I'll try the old market again.

How do I get flash videos to work?!

I thought I had the lastest version of cm7, made sure it was and finally got it all working after 12 hours or trial and error...then i come to find out it doesnt really support flash video?
I saw a bunch of people on youtube playing flash video, why cant i get flash to work on mine, im using dolphin HD and the latest gapps and cm7 version, what gives?
Do you have adobe flash player in your applications?
*facepalm*
You need to download flash from the market.

Adobe Flash 10.3 is the only flash update on the market and it "doesnt support my device"
-v2.3.5
-cm7 nightly v7-09212011
Rom Manager says there are no available updates, the market says flash 10.3 doesnt support my device. Do i still facepalm myself, or do i look for someone else to facepalm?
