Ok having an issue with my browser redirecting to different webpages when I click a link.
Basically when I go here and click " Click to go to host website"
http://www.surfthechannel.com/link/1/1289/6440184/0.html
To watch movies on my android it redirects me to some gaming website. When i go to this same link on any PC it goes straight to the megavideo link.
I remember this happening before when I was trying to watch videos and I got around it somehow. I think I just kept clicking the link until it got me there but not sure.
I've already tried using Opera Mini and Dolphin Browser plus the stock sense browser.
If someone could help me with this I would really appreciate it. Sometimes I get stuck in this office with nothing to do but watch these tv shows on my phone cause no PC is in the room.
Did some more research on this turns out any megavideo link will redirect you to some games website.
Just found out Skyfire isn't redirected. So if your trying to watch a megavideo link remember Skyfire will go to it and wont be redirected.
Dolphin HD, Sense browser, opera mini all redirected to some games website. Another reason I love having a choice with Android.
I installed Skyfire, but it redirectsme like Dolphin or stock browsers. Does it hapend to you?
Did any1 get it to work. I got it installed along with amazon account but FC's whenever I play a video.
NM I should of search first

When ROMs add Flash (there is one already) I had been able to watch through the browser with Flash.
Manually install flash from the APK (search for it on xda. Found tons of links for it).
Install Dolphin Browser HD/your choice of browsers that support flash.
For dolphin change it to Desktop instead of Android device and it will let you watch amazon videos. I tested this with my Amazon Prime on-demand free streaming and worked well.

That worked for me too. I even got full screen video by tapping the "pop out" button. Then Dolphin pushed out an update and now I can't watch Flash anymore.
I wanted to be able to view web pages on Note 2 just like I can on iPad. I downloaded Dolphin HD browser, tried changing User Agent to iPad / Nexus 7 /iPhone. I have been disappointed with overall experience. When I change the User Agent to Nexus 7, I can see full CNN page, but when I click on Videos, it says I need Adobe. I can run videos when using iPad UA, but the quality is mediocre. Is there a way to surf the internet like you can on iPad? View full websites and run videos?

if you need adobe flash player then install it? iphone doesn't have flash i'm pretty sure. so your overall experience will be 100 times better on android also, dolphin hd browser does NOT support flash. you'll need to use the mini dolphin or the stock browser to view things in flash. most sites still don't seem to support HTML5. i've seen very few. oh and jelly bean doesn't have official flash support, but it still works perfectly.
so google how to side-load flash player. if you don't know how. problem solved.

What I'm trying to get at is, if iPad/iPhone can convert and play that video in HTML5, why can't an Android device play it if I change user agent to that of an Android tablet. I don't want flash. Just want to be able to play videos from full-websites, not mobile sites.
A example of site were you have this problem?

CNN full site. Try running any video. It only renders videos in mobile version of the site, in full version it displays Flash installation message.

Just download adobe flash from adobe's own website and it'll work fine. I can confirm it works on my ipad 3 as html 5.

I did download flash and it is workable, lil choppy but I guess I will take it. Not as smooth as on the iPad.
Also, I went to a Staple store yesterday and checked out couple of Android tablets including Nexus 7 and ran into the same situation on all tablets. I went to CNN, it opened full page, but when I clicked on the video, it presented Adobe message. Download Dolphin, then it works in HTML5, but a little grainy. This is something that just works on the iPad natively in HTML5
I noticed that you mentioned that you use Dolphin browser. I've noticed that the performance of the Dolphin on the Note 2 is less than good IMO, especially compared to stock. I would recommend trying Boat Browser instead, and just run flash. It's much better that way.

Much better! And the browser is free, I will take it. Thanks. Boat Browser + Flash apk puts me in the ballpark where I don't have to reach out for my iPad. :good:
Looks like Amazon wasn't supporting Android smartphones. I'm not sure if it's changed. I saw a youtube video on how to make it work but it seems to no longer be effective.
Is anyone able to watch Amazon streaming videos with a standard unrooted etc android device?
I think you can watch them in any browser that supports flash. I believe the stock browser and Dolphin work.
I downloaded Dolphin but it won't run Amazon streaming video. It results in an error code.

I don't think Dolphin supports flash anymore. You can install Boat browser for flash content. You need to install flash separately, and enable it in Boat browser settings. Then you can watch Amazon videos through Boat browser.

Thanks, I downloaded Boat but still no go. Looks like there's no flash support beyond android 4.0.x.

Google Play won't download the flash player for current Android devices. Looks like there's other ways to download flash...

Yes, you have to install it separately and not from Google Play. Search xda, I'm sure you will find a link to the file. It works on Android 4.3, I tried streaming with my N7 and can confirm. Don't worry about the threads saying it won't work, that was an old issue of Amazon doing something to exclude android devices, they no longer do that.
Don't forget to enable flash in boat browser once you install it. It is not enabled by default!

Does anyone know if it's possible to load the web version of Hulu on the Amazon Fire TV? I tried sideloading the Hulu app from the GP store, but it's the "Plus" version that requires a subscription. Other than that I was looking into the Kodi repos, but couldn't find a working script.
Any help is appreciated...
You can do it via PlayOn.

thanks, but not the answer I was looking for.
There isnt an app for the free version so you have only a couple of options. Sideloading Chrome might work or Playon.
Maybe there is some kind of plugin for Kodi but if its like Netflix, you have to be under Windows to get it to work.
There are a lot of browsers that can view the actual desktop hulu page, but none of them will let you watch video anymore, cause they use outdated flash support. Flashvideobrowser, Virtual PC Browser and photon browser will go to the PC verrsion of the page, but will not play anything, for the reason listed above, their flash plugin is outdated. Puffin will also go to the PC version of hulu, but will not play anything, cause the browser uses vpn and hulu has a policy to block private browsing, cause they do not want anyone outside the USA to use their site. I am guessing it will be hard to do on android unless you develop a browser with updated flash support and the ability to fool hulu into thinking you are on a PC.
Maybe there is an older version of the non-plussed Hulu.apk floating around that might work? Anyone know a site where such a file might be found?

There really isn't such a thing that I remember. Hulu Plus was always required for watching via mobile app. The only way you can watch for free is by using the website directly via a web browser...
