So noone is able to log in? :crying:

you can't log in on the official app, but there is other ways, such as using the YouTube channel on Plex. This is because YouTube uses the google framework, and the OUYA doesn't have it.

Or install it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43253639

aaa ok, unless rooting and a little bit of work it wont work, but this does not stop ouya or someone else to build a youtube app?
Or does youtube demand this framework or is it just needed for the android youtube-apps that are currently out there?

I bet we'll see something official, but who knows. YouTube is owned by Google after all, so if they have any ill feelings towards the OUYA (which I do not believe they do, but others aren't so sure) it won't happen.

I was able to sign in using plex, but it doesn't really give you access to your account (or maybe that part is broke). You should also be able to login using a browser, but that might be more work than it's worth

Xbmc login works OK. Just not as flashy as the YouTube app.

Wich Version of XBMC are you using and wich Youtube Plugin?
The XBMC YouTube Plugin just won't work on my Ouya. I always get an error message.

XBMC Frodo, straight from xbmc.org/download.
The Youtube Plugin... well, not really sure on the details on that... I'll check the info on it. But it was actually automatically installed when I installed the 1Channel plugin. So whatever that is.
here's what it says in the info for it:
type: Media Source
author: TheCollective
Version: 4.4.4
cheers.

I think the youtube I plugged in was just the regular one that is there to choose from once it's installed, but I could be wrong. It was really late the night I setup my XBMC

Does anybody know what additional packages (besides the one needed for Google Play Store) the Youtube app depends on?

As far as I know, that's it, just the google architecture.
Also, the XBMC youtube is working pretty well, just use XBMCHUB Wizard and it'll be preinstalled.

The XBMC Youtube Add-On works just fine, but I don't want to start XBMC each time I want to watch a Youtube video. I am able to start the Youtube app though, but then an error message occures (forgot what it was about, something about not being able to log in, if I'm not mistaken)...

Hulu web on nexus 7?

I just tried the free trial of Hulu plus for android. It's nice but what's suck about it is it doesn't offer all of the shows to be streamed in the app.
One of my shows is white collar, it's not offered in the app, anone knows how to make hulu work on web?

Plex and Playon both have hulu channels, which play through your PC. So whatever you can get on your PC should be available on your tablet/phone, but you would need wifi or 3G connection to your home pc. I prefer Plex, but haven't used it for hulu. With either app, you need to install an app on the PC and have it running, and also install an app on your tablet. Note I have not tried them on the Nexus 7 yet. Or on the Galaxy Nexus since the JB update either...
playon is fanastic for hulu!! plus u can watch ur shows from ur media player or pc on playon under my media! plus if u tether u can watch playon anywhere u go.
Install the beta XBMC app and add Bluecop's repo . You will find Hulu app there it works great !!

Doesn't work, it plays the commercials but when it gets to the video it won't play it.

Hm, I can't get Hulu to play through Plex either... Not sure what's wrong with it. I haven't tested Playon, maybe that will work?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Ok, so I tested Playon too. Playon appears to work fine. Commercial played, then the show played. I only watched the first couple of minutes, but it seems fine. The only issue is Playon is not free. But you may get a free trial for long enough to use until one of the free solutions is updated to work on Jellybean. If not, google TV scripts for Playon, and install it as an add on for Hulu. It gives you access to a lot more than Hulu.

I too am having the same problem. I would love to be able to get hulu web to work on here. I got XBMC, and Bluecop's repo, and I can get the commercials (which look great ), but not the actual content. Any more ideas, besides a streaming thing like Plex or Playon?

My problem isn't about if it's worth the money, it's that I don't want to have to have my computer up and on to watch.

Just an update: Hulu through Plex now works. Either the update fixed it, or unchecking GPU acceleration under developer options did. I suspect the latter, since that fixed my problem with another app.
But this is not a standalone solution, works through your pc.

Not in Plex, developer options is an android setting. I had GPU acceleration checked under developer options on the Nexus, which caused an issue with a different application. I unchecked it, and at the same time an update was released for the Plex android app. I updated Plex, and after that Hulu streaming worked. But I can't tell whether the update fixed my issue or if unchecking GPU acceleration fixed it.
(Also, keep in mind Plex is not a standalone app, it works through your pc.)

Hmm. I can't find the GPU acceleration setting in the developer options of android. But I can confirm the pled update didn't fix it, I just downloaded the newest version and hulu fails to play a video. Any more suggestions? Where exactly did you find the GPU setting?

oops, sorry, its called force GPU rendering. (I think. I have nothing at all checked under developer options any more.)
Its it just the Hulu channel that wont play? When you use the Plex app, does it connect to the Plex server? Can you play any videos or any other channels? Try to confirm that you are connected to the Plex server by playing something through it.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
I just checked whether forcing GPU rendering would break it, and it had no effect. So I think the app update that fixed the Hulu channel. Unless, maybe a restart its required for the settings to take effect?

I'm still not sure.
I have nothing checked in the developer thing either, and I am able to stream other movies from my home computer. Sometimes. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it gives me "There was a problem with media playback". So I don't know what's going on. I'm running the latest version of the server on my mac, and Plex 2.2.0.6 from July 19th on my 7.
I don't know if any of this matters, but I am not rooted, and I only have the stock video player, and no codec packs, nothing extra or special on android. Sometimes little hiccups can be fixed by a reboot, so that's worth a shot. My Plex server is on windows 7 64bit, I don't know if that could make a difference. I assume that you can install a plex media player on the Mac too, and see whether or not the same thing happens playing hulu through that. At least that might help in figuring out if the issue is on the android or the desktop side. Good luck!

Still waiting on my Nexus 7 to arrive.
Was wondering, if your rooted and have one of the roms with the flash working, or you sideloaded to get flash working, are you not able to watch Hulu via the web browser to get your shows that only show via the www?
Just a thought.

I am unrooted, but have flash installed. The Hulu site detects that I'm trying to watch from an android device and tells me its not available for android devices.

Youtube error?

I downloaded youtube and when i try to play any video it says error ocurred any ideas how to fix this?
Sent from my HTC EVARE_UL using xda app-developers app
Do you have the Google Play framework installed? Pretty sure you need that for YouTube. Then again, I can't remember if I ever had YouTube working or not.
I'm not sure about the regular youtube app, but I suggest getting the YouTube for Google TV app, I hear it works really well on the OUYA. Either that or use the XBMC Plugin, which is what I prefer.
The Youtube for GoogleTV app works great on my ouya.
But I would like to know how you guys got the xbmc plugin running. It just doesnt work for me.
Wich XBMC build did you install?

I tried everything, restore defaults, format data, flash another rom but nothing solved it.. help!

Did you try to open a video from mobile youtube (on dolphin or another browser)? Does it open mx player or stock video player? On mine it doesn't ask to choose..
Works fine.
On my Nexus 7 2012 it works fine. It is the free version.
Can't you see it in the play store? Or does the app crash when you open it? Tell me more about the problem please.

Works on my nexus 7 2012 as well. Try opening a video from a file explorer. I have 4 different movie players {don't ask why) when I open the folder containing movies and select one of the files I'm promoted to pick which player to use.

I think what you're suggesting is piracy. If you really don't want ads but don't want to support dev, just use adaway.

You'll need to use FDroid (look it up on Google etc.) to get AdAway - it's alternative store for open source apps
I'd buy the Pro version though, even if it's to just support the developers.

Looking for the same thing I called customer service they told me they are working on a new app for geo error we are getting but I don't know how long that will be if some one can adb pull there YouTube app and share it here would truly appreciate it that way we can sideload it and see if that works

Nobody in here that can actually provide a copy of the Youtube apk for FireTV? I'm having the same problem here. When I try and buy any of the free apps on the Fire TV, I get the good old geo-restriction errors. Also cant get them using a web-browser. The APK's that are available from the Play Store and the one for the Google TV are not ideal.
Could somebody please try and see if they have the apk they could upload somewhere so we can adb it to our devices? Great many thanks to someone willing to help out here!
???
What about the YouTube HD MOD also found here on XDA as a direct apk download?
Then again I want one with unrestricted access that doesn't block certain videos because of Android.
Some of Pewdiepie's videos (BattleBlock Theater Part #3) don't appear on his channel through the app,but I can find them by directly searching for them in the app.
Hey, guys, try this, just pulled from my device for you.

This one was installed using Play store, it's a google tv version. I like it.
Have you tried YouTube for XBMC?
Not sure if the Youtube XBMC add-on will solve your problems but it's worth a shot for sure.

Not sure. But I remember all attempts at watching Amazon Prime Video on android for me were useless (I know the app is out now), tried flash (latest version for ICS and above), and it didn't work. Googled "Amazon Prime Video Android" and somewhere I found it. And ot worked. The link I had downloaded from (someone's Google Drive), says it vioated terms of service.
