Ok so I know that as of right now it won't play due to the Hd codec not working yet on the custom roms. what I'm wondering though is how do we even install the app on powerpoints or hashcodes roms, is this possible yet. The app force closes when I try to run it.

you can still access the website through the default browser. when the hd codec gets working the videos will play. as an aside this is also how you could run amazon instant video on a phone running android

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

1) Go to Playon http://www.playon.tv/playon
- Install the playon service on your PC
2) Configure : In the PlayOn config, you can enter your Hulu Login Info. This is helpful as it can pull from your Queue
3) Get the PlayOn App from Android Market. This is not currently avaialble in Amazon Market, so you need to port it over (plenty of instructions on the boards for this)
4) As long as you are on the same WiFi network as your PC, you will be able to stream any of the PlayOn channels including HULU
Ive got HULU up and running perfect on my Kindle Fire. I thought I would share how I did it. First off you need root, and custom recovery. Then you need to use this rom here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439916 which is a custom rom Based on the stock 6.2.2 release. Other than the rom being awesome it also poses as a Samsung Galaxy Tab that allows for a lot of apps that use to show as incompatible are now available. Some work, some dont. But one that does is Flash Video Browser, which is only .99 cents. I had already paid for this and was using it on my Evo 3D, and my Evo View, but it wasnt compatible with my Fire until now. I was able to install, and it works perfect. So I know this is a lot to do just to get Hulu on the Fire, but I was using this Rom for other reasons and this was just an added benefit!! Hope this helps someone.
Hi All,
Is there a live streaming TV app for sports that runs on KF on Jelly Bean? Please let me know.
regards,
Nandi
I installed flash player, i backed it up off my phone with ICS, and use x-scope browser and go to firstrowsports.eu, atdhenet.tv, and vipbox.tv. You have to deal with adds, but it is not too bad. Firefox works with flash using Jelly Bean too, but it seemed to crash while using flash. Good luck.

I use firefox with ad blocker for those ad based streaming sites. Works like a charm on my note 2
Hello! I was wondering if there was a way to change the default video player that is on the Kindle fire. The one that plays YouTube videos for example. It may be built into the rom, or I may have just not been able to find it. I am rooted so I can access all of the system stuff. Thanks for any help

Go into the Video Player you use and tap “Clear Defaults". Make sure you have another Video player other than the stock one. And you can't change the YouTube Player, it is only made tho run on only the stock You tube player.

Anyone here rooted and or with a custom ROM able to get Netflix to play at 1080p? Mine won't. Don't know of its because of root, deodex, not stock, slow internet, etc. Anyone able to chime in?

The most I've gotten is 720p, but I've read in the CleanRom thread that Hulu will play 1080p. The problem is either Netflix or your internet speed.

How can you tell if its playing in 720 or 1080 p? I just played the expendables 2 and it looks very good but I don't see where it said what quality.
So here is what I can tell you, you have video quality settings in your account on Netflix. Set that to best, then you have to have a high speed internet, even at that apparently to get HD your ISP has to have signed with Netflix for Netflix to stream it.
I noticed that my Google play movies will not play in HD on anything but the stock ROM. I can be rooted and get HD but not on a custom rom. Cleanrom won't even work. This is weird to me.

Netflix will range from low quality to HD to 1080p(if supported). 1080p on a 7" tab is overkill and much more bandwidth intensive. It would be skipping all over unless you have an almost flawless connection.

Netflix has been updated to work flawlessly on JB 4.3 !
Just update it
Does anyone know what shows/movie support 1080p right now?

Hello;
I have a Kindle Fire HD 8.9" that I'm exploring custom roms with. My kid uses the Amazon FreeTime or Kid Mode subscription. I'm also wanting her to use Google's Hangouts app.
Are you able to access all the Amazon Features (such as Prime Movies, FreeTime and such) from a hybrid rom / are there any hybrid roms? I was able to root / install the play store / 2nd boot loader already. On the Amazon OS the Hangouts does not work with a microphone.
Thank you for any insight!
You lose most of the prime stuff tied into the Kindle when you root or run a custom room. People have found that using a browser like. Dolphin in desktop more allows them to do prime video. You will lose the free time feature of your kindle most likely by rooting

Thank you for the reply.
With the Root / Amazon OS all the prime things still work. Thank you for the info on the custom ROM not having prime access though.
I'll have to check out that Kindle 7 thread; there is a hybrid rom there that may work.

Wait,what? I have an HD 7 and I don't think such a rom exists. When you scoop out all the Amazon garbage out for flashing clean AOSP,prime goes into the trash as well.
