I live in the UK and had been using the FTV since it came out. I have been using vyprVPN on my router loaded with DD-WRT. So I am able to access all of the US content. Since I rooted my FTV last night, everytime I go into Hulu (from the FTV) the IP address I use gets flagged by Hulu and I am not able to use that IP anymore. Has root enabled the FTV to provide some extra information to the Hulu server to flag those IP addresses? I did not have an issue before I rooted. I don't want to keep using different addresses until I figure out what's going on. So far only Hulu is flagging the addresses, Amazon, Netflix etc work fine. I checked the SU app, Hulu does not have root access. Any ideas?
Unroot then reset and see what happens. It might just be a new measure from Hulu that started around the time you rooted.
Try installing Root Cloak - Hulu's always been top drawer paranoid about content leakage, and it would not surprise me if they were asking the OS "hey, is there a copy of su in /system?" and reporting back to the mothership if one is seen.
Don't know if RC helps with Hulu.

Thanks, Ill give this a try when i get home
UPDATE: it did not work, I tried it with a new IP address, I was able to watch about 15. It kicked me off and when I came back, the IP was flagged. The odd part is that this only happens with the rooted FTV. I use my rooted GS4 to watch hulu. I have not have an issue. I used it today just fine.
The part that sucks is that once the IP is flagged, It cannot be used to stream from hulu from any other device or browser. I removed root and the IP flagging stopped. I guess I will need to stay unrooted in order to use hulu....

You could try to use a tablet version Hulu instead of the Amazon's or get one of the Root Blocker tools and see if HUlu works with it enabled like OTA Rootkeeper. Could be they tied their HUlu app into their VOD.

I am not certain on how many people share the same situation but here's what's going on. I rooted my evo with unrevoked 3 and flashed unrevoked forever, I'm not that new to modifying my evo but when I try to use any wifi tether they seem not to work in any way. The wifi appears on the computer but no connection as in to loading a webpage is possible, the sale happens when attempting to make a connection with my iPad from the evo NO CONNECTION. I gave a visit to the wifi tether app web pages and they only seem to support 2.1 well known as eclair. Can someone help? What is the real glory in turning s off and rooting if your main mission as of obtaining free wifi tether cannot be obtained? XDA DEVELOPERS you guys are awesome when it comes to mobile solutions and even more with android, please lend me a hand ( not literally ) to be able to go on with my normal life and use free wifi tether.
download "wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre8.apk" and see if that works for you. it works for me. YOu can google that with the quotes and you should find it
Thank you sir!
I have a stock EVO that I ran unrevoked on last night, it rooted fine. I downloaded wireless tether for root users and on mac it shows the ssid but when I connect I get no internet, it says, "AirPort has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the Internet.". The IP I get is 169.254.20.214
Is anyone else able to connect to their Android Hotspot with a Mac?

Where did you get the wireless tether app? From the market? If so, uninstall it and try one of the later versions from the google code page (pre7 or pre8). I'm running the 2.0.5-pre7 version and have no problem connecting a mac (well, hacintosh to be completely accurate) to it but I never could get the market version (2.0.2) to work.

I just installed pre9 less than two weeks ago and that was the newest at the time!
I have trouble too. What I do is run it and turn it off. Repeate two or three times and finally it will let me surf using my iPad.
Will have to try pre11!

Got the same message on my Evo4G - not sure what this has to do with anything. It won't even let me download the content I own regardless of streaming.
I sure as hell ain't gonna unroot just to watch a crappy copy of a movie on my phone. I'm wondering if jailbroken iPod/iPhone users get this same message.

Search xda or Google there was a workaround for it a while back but I use netflix so i haven't kept up with it netflix gives 2 ****s if ur rooted or not and I get it free for the next 18 months
Edit: iirc it was to backup Su in tb and freeze or delete then restore after u use flixster but don't quote me on that as I never used it just read the thread a few times

Install and use OTA Root Keeper. It unroots and reroots your device with just one click. Temporarily unroot your device while you're streaming from Flixster and reroot when you're you're done streaming...
to be specific, is there to have a wifi hotspot without root? i've tried pdanet as well as foxfi but the wifi hotspot didn't work on 2.3 but the bluetooth tether worked but didn't want to go through the hassle of jailbreakin my wife's apple stuff just to tether through bluetooth and her laptop doesn't have bluetooth.
does wifi hotspot work on 4.0 for either pdanet or foxfi?
before you tell me to root, i do use google play movies because i hook up my phone to my monitor and watch from there and its cheaper than physically buying it and its always with me on my phone and online. if i root, it wont let me use it, i've tried and quickly went back to stock.
that is strange that google play didn't allow you to watch movies while root access was enabled. I use miui with root access and google play movies work for me. Did you try ClockworkMod Tether claims no root access needed. How is it that your phone can function without root access?

dude, i always have one of the worst luck with phones when rooting or unlocking bootloaders is concerned... i used to use adb terminal through command prompt but i haven't used it in a while and i reformatted my laptop since then so i obviously forgot how to use since i only used it a few times a long time ago (probably between 1.5 and 2.1 days) so i forgot it all.
yeah, i've tried rooting with the atrix and it wouldn't let me access play movies because it detected that my phone was rooted and also did the same with my first ion before the battery went kaput. with the atrix, i learned that stock is more stable for me, especially when i was using the lapdock and i don't remember if i needed root to modify the entitlement check for tethering.
lol yes so stock works perfectly fine without root... ironically. too bad my phone isn't able to unlock bootloader if it comes out. but, i'll checkout the cwm tether. does it hide usage from carrier like foxfi?
not sure always used open vpn connections to hide what I was doing.
Use the international firmware.

i was debating flashing over to the lt28i firmware but i got intimidated by the steps to do so and i finally set up my phone (second ion), apps, settings, widgets, to the way i like it. also, i can't remember if it was the lt28h or lt28i that had issues that i have never experienced before on lt28at.
Well since google no longer blocks root access for movies you should just try root any non-root teathers I have seen are limited in functions.
or you can try MIUI rom since it has built in teathering and vpn services
Because it sure seems like it... I can get on most major websites (XDA, Google, youtube, Facebook, etc) just fine on my phone, but when I go to (nsfw alert!) xvideos.com and load a video there, or even on serebii.net it turns up as http error 504. However if I use wi-fi I can view these sites just fine.
Did T-mobile end up shafting us with this filter, or is this something I can correct? I've tried disabling everything related to knox (all six of the apps that appear when you search Titanium Backup for knox) and restarting, no dice.
EDIT: I've just tried wi-fi tethering with my note 3, and going to serebii.net still gives a error 504 timeout.
EDIT #2. Oh yeah, forgot to mention this is a stock firmware with root, knox warranty 0x1, with TWRP recovery installed. justin case there is or isn't an update released since Oct. 2nd to now, my baseband version is N900TUVUBMI7
Serebii probably isn't working cause even on wifi and 4G lte, it won't load. X videos works fine either way for me.

Theres no filter... I would delete Ad Away if you have it and install AdFree, then give it a go. It can also be due to all those sights bieng chock full of advertisements the TMO signal in your area just isnt good enough. Its going to try to load more then the other sights, and thats where 504 timeout errors can occur if page does not load in time properly.
run a traceroute on the phone on and off wifi to sites with the issue and see where it falters.You can also check ping, but check routing first. Use the apps on playstore with same name its TraceRoute & TracePing.
Okay. I'll be sure to give it a go tomorrow, for I have to work soon.. and yeah nowadays serebii.net is working again. Also my ad blocker is simply called AdBlock.

All I know is, its working just dandy on jedi rom & I havent had any issues with it. It replaced AdAway which Im sure theres a good reason for... west have you done the ping and trace tests yet? 504 is generally a time out issue so, give it a shot on wifi & also on tmos network. and how many bars do you have in area your trying it in?
No I have not tried those yet but I can assure that when I do try to load any sort of video on the stock browser or chrome or any browser I download I get the error timeout which is unusual . I'm on stock non rooted so don't know what the issue is I will run those test . By the way are you all having the prevention information notification, for some reason I believe it's that what is triggering the whole filtering

Anyone having issues with videos stopping in Jarvis.
Helix was working perfectly on 5.0.3 .
Firetv updated from 5.0.3 to 5.0.5 automatically, and I installed Jarvis via Firestarter.
Since then videos are stopping every 5-20 minutes. Not sure if its 5.0.5 related or Jarvis related. Maybe I need to change buffer settings or something?

Yes :good: feckin kingroot I wonder what is happening.
Same here. Has been driving me crazy, since Amazon sneaked the update in. Actually, it's was a good thing, since I decided to upgrade to Intel NUC with OpenElec (the hapiest Kodi setup, ever...)
But it was driving me crazy. I "nuked" Kodi and AFTV twice, trying to figure it out.

Now - Kingroot probably isnt the issue here either. It comes with some "bloatware" - but hardly anything on the level that could cause the issue described in here.

Thank you for the detailed post.
Yes, I am able to do all that and i could invest an hour or more to find the best solution that will allow kingroot and kodi to work perfectly fine together..
Or I could invest 5 minutes to remove kingroot (a software that i don't really need) and fix the issue that way.
Well, as my time is valuable to me I choose the faster way and removed kingroot. And look, the problem is gone. Hurray!
There is a clear cause and effect here.
1) Kodi workes flawless
2) Kingroot was installed
3) Kodi stops playback with a black screen in random intervalls
4) Kingroot was removed
5) Kodi works flawless again.
But yes, it could be my Internet connection (well it is the same with and without kingroot), or my network (oh it is also the same) or the NAS (well, it is the same) or the file on the NAS (right.. it the SAME), or the version of the AFTV or Kodi... But it seems unlikely, because none of that changed.
Kingroot is the only thing that changed, the only variable. And removing Kingroot fixed the damn problem.

I am perfectly capable to debug something like that and i checked a few things before coming here. Oh, i didn't wrote that because I am not the OP and I was just replying with a success to a proposed solution.
Both my NAS and my AFTV is connected using gigabit LAN and no, it was not a dropped stream. A dropped stream could be seen in the kodi event log, and no.. Nothing at all in the event log. Oh, and the debug log overlay was perfectly normal, but the blackout happend anyway. My NAS was sending data to the AFTV without any problem and then it suddenly dropped when the AFTV went black.
The AFTV went into sleep mode (or it looked like that) with a black screen. You had to press a key on the remote to wake the AFTV and see kodi again. The video was stopped.
I have an unit that does the same thing (video stops every 5 to 20 minutes) and it was rooted with kingroot, the other 3 units I run in my house have no issues at all so it is not my wifi, internet, NAS or file issue. I do not believe the rooting process is the cause that makes this unit drop the video but it is the other programs that kingroot installs. I know for a fact I press by mistake the optimization option in kingroot and that may had change the way this units acts. I did not have time to investigate since however tonight I will remove kingroot, clean the whole system file, run the unit to see if that fixed it and then re-root it again staying away from any other options in kingroot.
Could it be the version of kingroot we used? - I used v4.8.
That may explain why some of us have problems and some not however I still believe it was my mistake and I will try to prove that tonight, if someone else here wants to try my theory please go ahead we will stop all this nonsense "blame".
I got the same issue an my device, also rooted with Kingroot 4.8.
Since rbox is working on TWRP and prerooted roms, I guess the issue is gone soon anyway

As I stated above mine is working fine.
I am would be interested to find if all devices with this problem have an app which is clashing with kodi when Kingroot is installed.
Slightly off topic I am finding this update more stable on my atv1 , now if I switch to another app while watchin youtube iI can then switch back and the video will resume wareas previously it would restart the app ( similar on other apps also).

What version of kingroot did you use? So far are a couple of people stating they used v4.8 (including myself) that are having issues.
Also had video stopping after a few minutes after rooting AFTVv1 5.0.5 with Kingroot.
After unrooting and uninstalling from within the Kingroot app this issue is gone.
Further, the breakage of Wukong's mouse mode is solved, too.
