While Flash is capable of playing content Hulu blocks access by mobile devices. I believe this is because their licensing terms don't allow them to distribute content to anything but PC's.

There's another thread somewhere that details how to get Hulu on your Android device. You basically need a hacked version of Flash (I think) and then a small system tweak to make Hulu's servers think the request is coming from a desktop. I just saw it yesterday. . . .

I don't know about the hacked flash thing but simply changing the user agent doesn't work anymore. It does work for porn sites though fyi.

SEARCH

I think you just have to set your browser to desktop mode to view hulu. Type: about:debug In browser, then enter, then look for it in settings.

no. you'll need a hacked flash as well as the ua string change.

I must say, XDA has a beautiful forum search function(thank you xda!). If people just @#(*$# used it sometimes they would have the answer to their own questions 99.99999% of the time.
Just saying..........

I tried a few different things and can't get it work. Maybe it just doesn't work on Android? I seen how to do this on Chrome and Firefox but I cannot muster a solution for my EVO. Anyone know how? Thanks in advance.

Lmao, I figured it out. Use Dolphin Browser, switch User Agent to Desktop and long hold, then save as. Fairly simple, I just forgot.,I like your honesty.

Ok so here is the scoop:
Xfinity TV: control recordings or what you're watching on your TV.
Works w/o issues
Xfinity Mobile: watch comcast content.
this apps says it is ICS compatible now, but I had no video just sound.
new app called Xfinity Player:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...laynow&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
works perfectly, I installed (11mb) and ran a show w/o issues.
I hope that helps; looks like comcast may be moving things around.
I'll restore back to Thunderhawk (OMG the batter life) and test the same apps and report back - about if the xfinity mobile app acts the same.

Damn, sorry to hear that.
You'll probably have to pose the question to xfinity.
I have also had this problem, even when I upgraded from rc2 to rc3, switched su's and moved to sd card, clear data, etc.

[How-To] Stream Videos with Google Drive

1. Open Google Drive
2. Long press on the desired video file
3. From the popup, select "Send Link"
4. Choose either "Copy to Clipboard" or "Share to Clipboard."
5. Open any browser that SUPPORTS FLASH.
6. In the address bar, long press and select "Paste" or "Paste and Go" (just copy the URL into your browsers address bar).
7. Hit go.
8. Enjoy watching your videos streaming to your phone in your browser.
9. Watch fullscreen by double tapping on the video as it plays.
Note: you MUST have a flash enabled browser. I use Boat Browser on Jellybean 4.1.2
This was written because I did some searching and could not find anything else that showed how to stream video FROM Google Drive TO your Android device. I hope this helps, if it does, just click Thanks!
Try Plex...... Its a hell of an app granted you have to leave your PC on but its worth it.
Or you can get a file manager that support cloud computing (example. X-plore from the market) and just simply click the file and play it back on your phone without having to go through a browser that supports flash

Thanks OP.
Not to thread hijack but dude thanks for the Plex tip, I had never heard of it. It's the ****!

The reason I use this method is because the Google method automatically converts the video to a flash supported content that can be streamed no matter what. I have lots of various formats that I don't want to have multiple codecs for. There are other ways to do it but none I'd personally seen on streaming from this method. Beauty of Android: multiple ways to get to there!

Can you share with folks exactly how Plex is used? I tried it, loved it, and I'm positive that if folks search for this solution, they'll want to here about this! It's astonishingly straightforward and really easy to use, but everyone's skill level is different.

This is awesome. I got only 8 GB of storage and no SD card or USB drive support, but now Google Drive is perfectly useful to me.

It turns your computer into a server, and through the installed Plex software allows you to stream all media content seamlessly from your computer to your phone.

Site Admin, please read: Landing page "Root" video.

So the video on http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1891#root plays automatically in the background whenever you get to the Samsung Galaxy Note II landing page. Is it possible to stop this from loading until I press play? Or I figured it was code on the page telling it to load that video and play automatically.
Seeing as how alot of us are using tethering already anyway on our phones, it takes up quite a bit of bandwidth that we ALL KNOW Sprint doesn't have to spare.
I have adblock already.

I am not experiencing what the OP is describing. The video does not auto play for me.
Go into your phone's browser settings, find Plugins and set them to Click to Play or Disabled etc.

Try Chrome in incognito mode, make sure it's not a sh1tty extention.

I have this happen all the time. I use Chrome. I haven't figured out how to stop it, but I know it's Youtube video, and somewhere in my settings, Chrome automatically starts any Youtube video. I noticed the YouTube thing on other sites. I just haven't been able to find the Youtube video on the landing page, but I do know the video playing is from YouTube because I have watched it on YouTube.
So it's A Chrome thing then... Simple enough.
