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
so is there any way to get hulu+ working on froyo
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.
I was curious if anyone has problems playing the vids on youtube that are HQ. If I turn off the HQ for the the vid then it plays no problem.
When I leave it on, a msg from the app displays just saying there was a problem playing your video please retry.
I've experienced this only in one other app recently released by funimation.
Hulu and netflix work fine for me. I have tried a multitude of roms to see if its linked to specific ones.

Question has been asked a million times . Anyways here's your answer, you need to use an older version of the youtube app for HQ to work. AFAIK the last working version is 2.1.6. Happy youtubing!
I have seen this a million times as well. But I never really paid any attention because I didn't care.
But yesterday I was testing some system app mods, so I ended up downloading YouTube from the market. HQ videos were playing for me.
I guess that's unusual or whatever. Maybe they weren't really HQ quality, I don't know. But they were playing.
Me and the kid watched funny cat videos for over an hour.
Non-opengl, no system mods that would matter.

That's interesting, what rom are you using?
Could you try it out again and report back?
I was afraid it was something app related. Its not a big deal. Was mostly curious as well as seeing if I could do some tweak to get the funimation app to work as well. Thanks for the help!

For those of us who want to use the older version until things get fixed or worked around in the roms, how can I hide the older apk from the market so I don't get spammed all the time to update?

Go to settings in market/play store and tell it to not notify you of any updates.

Okay, well I had flashed a couple of times since I posted that, and when I went to try it again, it didn't work. I knew I wasn't wrong the other day, so I reflashed what I thought I had been running before, and now the HQ videos are working with the current market YouTube.
The change between working and not working was I didn't flash the "take1" kernel like I had before.
So this is the setup. I am running a straight build from source, without opengl. I built it myself, but that shouldn't matter. It was built on April 8th, and comes with the standard kernel (no NAT filter or any of the new commits.)
The only difference between mine and the eyeballers (not counting any cherry-picking he may be doing) is that I compiled in a port of PDroid. There are some changes to some system apps, but I don't think that would matter.
Basically, anyone running a straight flash of eyeballer's April 8 build should have the same ability to run the videos with the HQ button on or off. I will not swear they are true HQ videos, I don't know that for certain. But the videos run either way.
EDIT: Let me know if anyone else has this working. I don't know much about YouTube or the whole HQ/HD thing and may be losing my mind.
I thought I had isolated the problem to a gapp, but now am not so sure. I will test again if no one else can get these working. I have uninstalled and reinstalled a bunch of stuff, and don't want to keep doing it if everyone can see HQ with the above setup.
Maybe everyone can in any setup and only the few people on this thread haven't realized it yet. idk.

Ah I see you are using a CM9 build. There might be something to that. I'm on CM7.2 . Maybe in CM9 it got fixed somehow.
I thought it was working in cm7 as well. Maybe it was just a modded app though, which is no better than an older apk.
Well, unless someone with cm9 tells me it's unique, I will just assume everyone has it working. They probably do, I have never looked at it before I saw this thread the other day.

My experience has been that HQ sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. I believe it is due to the actual quality of the video being played. For non-HD videos the HQ is lit up and the movie loads and plays fine. For HD videos that are actually HD you get the error message and have to uncheck HQ to get the video to play.
I have had this experience in several different configurations:
eyeballer's opengl builds, original kernel
eyeballer's opengl builds, updated kernel
eyeballer's opengl 4.9, updated kernel take 2 (current setup)
I would like to know if others have the same experience with "HQ" working for what seem to be non-HD videos and not working when the video actually appears to be HD.

Is there a Hulu fix for the ds7 with stock honeycomb rooted? I saw a couple of posts, the hulu apk for most devices semi works but crashes every time I try and search. The Hulu fix in the ds7 forum has a dead link for the file needed to replace the one on the build.prop.
Well it would be nice if someone was able to port seanscreamz Hulu fix from the skyrocket forums for one of his roms and we could just go to Hulu.com and watch. Or if someone has knowledge on how to port and let me know how to do it I would be happy to try.
Anyway, it drives me nuts not being able to access Hulu, thanks in advance for any help!
So I have been though multiple ROMs on my HD 7" and all of them behave exactly the same way when it comes to Hulu. Basically the Hulu app works just great until you play a video. The ads play with no issue, but right when it is going to play the main video, the app just crashes. I have searched this forum and the googles for answers but I can't find anybody that appears to be having this issue.
Right now I am running omni-4.4.4-20151106-tate-HOMEMADE. I have tried CM11 M12, CM12.1 Nightly, CARBON-KK-UNOFFICIAL-20151105-2317-tate, candy5-release.v4.0-20151015-UNOFFICIAL-tate, Slim-tate-5.1.1.beta.0.14-UNOFFICIAL-20160116-1135 and the app behaves exactly the same way on all of them.
Any ideas what is going on and how to fix it?

Do the roms have adaway baked into them, or some other ad block app? I know you said that the ad will play, but then crash at the video, but that's the only thing I can think of. This was happening on my wife's tablet and I put an exclusion for hulu in adaway and it fixed the issue. Just a thought to get the ball rolling.

I don't think so. Well at least I cannot find anything to indicate that there is an ad block app built in to the omnirom that I am using. Hmmm...
