Anyone using Hulu Plus on the Galaxy Exhibit?

Just started a Hulu Plus trial, downloaded the app on my phone but it says video playback is not supported on my phone, and they are working on supporting more phones,etc. Netflix works fine on the Galaxy Exhibit for me. Anyone using Hulu Plus? I'm wondering if it's infact a device incompatibility or the fact that I'm using the SlimBean Jellybean ROM.
It could just be because you are rooted, I can't use flixster because I am rooted

What kind of nonsense is that? Why does the rooted/custom mod allow apps to check if it is rooted or not, can't we fool the app to think it is not rooted?
What other apps do not run when you are rooted?
I got a Galaxy S3 last week, and rooted it. Hulu Plus works just fine on it. Just thought it was interesting.

Timewarner cable live tv app does not work on rooted devices unless you rename superuser.apk to something else and delete test-keys from ro.build.tags= in build prop. Then reboot. Maybe you can try it for other apps?
now if only there was a way to watch web only on mobile

Netflix

Hey guys. Anyone ever get Netflix working on our aces?
I'm running a custom ROM cm 10.1, Netflix opens up, I can select a title. It loads then just goes back to movie selection.
Since I got my ace I ran custom Roms starting with ICS, and Netflix always did this.
Any info or tricks would be cool.

Why do you need Netflix on the ace?
I can't find it on play store so I guess it won't work
