I use J Player to watch streams, and am bombarded by ads, especially going back and forth between streams. I have Adblock installed, and I don't get them in Firefox at home, is there a solution for this on Android?
Check out "ROM toolbox pro" on the market. It has a good block ads setting in it. I dont buy very many apps but if your rooted and do alot of flashing its good to have.

Has anyone experimented with using Amazon Instant Video (from the Kindle Fire) to get Prime videos, etc working? I did give it a run. It looks like you need to have Flash installed, and use OTA rootkeeper to temporarily hide root while you use the Instant Video app. I was having problems logging in, plus when I tried to load a video, it would just black screen, then FC.
I've watched Prime movies on my E4GT using Dolphin HD browser (use desktop mode) in the past and it worked with out hiding root. Although I'm told some need to hide it.

Hmm yes you're right, I've done similar with the ICS browser +, and that worked also. It's useful if you know what you want to watch, but it's not easy to navigate. I think a native app would be pretty awesome. I've looked in forums for other devices, but haven't found anyone trying to do this on other devices.
*Allshare Cast and Multiview: Must Read!People, I have fallen in love once again with this phone. I have had it since early November. I am a huge streamer of movies from my phone. I use the wireless Allshare Wireless Hub. Today I got curious and wondered what would happen if I streamed video from my phone and while watching use the multiview feature to see what would happen. And what happened made me the proudest owner of this smartphone ever. The video stayed in full screen people! On the tv! But still allowed me to go to other apps as if I was just letting it play fullscreen video! I know u can tell I'm excited. But this is absolutely amazing and it does it without a hiccup. I'm actually streaming a movie to my big screen from my Note 2 while I write this post at the same time, all from my Note. Samsung is the ish!*Let me know if this is something u all already knew. Am I late to the party?
Wow. Good to know this works. Are you streaming a movie you downloaded onto the phone or you are streaming a movie from say Netflix?

That's a good question, I was using the native video player, but I just tried Netflix and it also does the same thing for Netflix. One word...Awesome! But it's weird. When I'm watching Netflix in multi view and I go to the other window, Netflix pauses. Annoying. Guess its not optimized for multi view. I'm rooted with stock and I have the Xposed tweak for all apps in multi view.

Yea, I found this out last week. Only works with videos directly on the phone. Hasn't worked with netflix, hulu, or hbo go as they pause and stop streaming. I was pretty impressed too, hopefully this improves.
Yes, you are late to the party by 2 months. But enjoy !

I don't see how I could be that late. For one thing we just got the multi view update without having to root. I was rooted with Jedi 7.2, I couldn't even get my Allshare cast hub to work then because of the stupid counter. So once the update finally came out I went back to stock using the injected root method, reset my counter with Triangle, and then installed the Xposed tweak. Unless you've had the international version I don't see how I could be that late.
You lucky T-mobile users. The AT&T version disables simultaneous use of multi window and allshare cast. I hope someone can pinpoint the difference. This is a feature I really wanted in my phone

Thank God I left AT&T for the $30 T-Mobile plan. They really are the devil.
Are you guys streaming 1080p content without problems through Allshare?

I stream 1080p no problem.
By the way MHL also works like that. I found out yesterday when watching Youtube and using multiwindow that Youtube stayed full screen and I could actually minimize it to just a tiny sliver on the bottom and use the rest of the screen to do whatever else I wanted on multiscreen. I was just as pumped as you were! My girlfriend was over at the time and I described it to her as a "Geekgasm!" lol :victory:
My allshare cast sucked. Dropped frames, had to resync everytime you wanted to connect a new samsung mobile device. Just to sync, it would take 20 tries. Very painful experience. Ill stick to using dlna through my sammy bd player. Works perfect every time.

I am streaming videos, youtube and all online videos from note 2 to my laptop/TV using iMediaShare. Watching streamed videos from phone on TV/laptop screen and simulataneously operating phone as normal including multiview.
I thought the all share dongle only works with stock.. cause mine wouldn't connect unless I was on stock.. and when I went to tv links on line and tried to watch tv the voices would lag... the dongle sucks.. I got the note 2 smart dock.. it has a hdmi slot and usb ports for a cordless mouse.. it's way better...

Hi everyone!
I've been an iphone user and finally made the big switch with the Galaxy Note 2 because of the multi view feature and the screen recording mode feature (which apparently never ended up working).
I have a stock (4.1.2) Unlocked international version n7100 Galaxy Note 2 that I've been using with an allshare cast hub. The video is a little glitchy but for the most part works great. I came to this thread by doing a google search on multiview with allshare cast.
I really want to be able to use multi view while I'm connected to allshare cast hub and streaming videos. This feature doesn't seem to work on my phone. Do I have to have my phone rooted to do this? I've never done a custom rom or rooted my phone before and I'd like to avoid that if at all possible. Do you just hold the back button during a video to bring up multiview like you would when not connected to allshare cast?
Also, has anyone figured out how to watch netflix while using multiview yet without having it pause video? I'd like to get all of my apps working in multiview and from what I've read so far the only way to do that is by rooting phone, correct?
One of my proudest moments with my Note. I feel you man. It's a great feeling what this phone can do.

I am Stock Rooted, only so that I could download and use Xposed for the xMulti Window Mod to use all my apps in the multi window. I have noticed the Netflix bug with the movie pausing when you try to use Multiview. I have found that if you start using multiview before you click on the movie to watch it will no longer pause. What I do is I open netflix and then use multiview to bring in another app on screen and then I play the movie. Works everytime. And it works like it should without pausing. And you are able to change apps as normal. But i would def. recommend getting the Multi Window Mod so that you can experience the Multiview the way it should have been out the box. I don't know why they didn't allow all apps out the gate. The only apps that I have trouble with in multiview is TMZ and Flipboard. Otherwise I am a multiview crackhead.
Hope this helps!

I found a few threads elsewhere on XDA, but I thought I'd go ahead and ask here in Note II land. Is anyone streaming Amazon Instant Video (Prime) on their Note II? If so, what are you using? I've seen the "install flash and set browser to desktop mode"method, but wanted to see if anyone had some reasonable success doing this.
Install flash player.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28799533
Then play Amazon video from thier website on the Android's default browser. Yes, you do need to setup the browser as "desktop".
It works fine for me. Though still have the same quarks that you get from any Android device.

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...
