Running hulu website on Nexus 7 - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I found a thread over on the Acer a100 thread about running the hulu website on the browser and was wondering if this would be compatible on our devices since it's on jellybean. Here is the link

Not unless you can hack the flash apk and make it look like the desktop version of flash. Hulu looks at the flash player itself to know if its desktop, mobile, etc.

The thread referenced is an app that changes the flash mobile files over to fake being flash desktop files, seeing how flash is unsupported in JellyBean, you may have a bit of trouble getting this to work.

OP, even if the that works, it's way to much effort for sub-par movies on hulu.

[Q] flash player not compatible

Is there a version of flash player I can side load ? I'm bummed to find flash player isn't compatible in play store. Loving my new nexus though!
Perhaps you didn't get the memo but flash isn't compatible with jelly bean. Or at least I think its not.

I'm pretty sure I read flash will not be updating or working on smartphone applications any longer...

Tried several apks got them working but kept crashing dolphin every time I would try going fullscreen
Questions go in the Q&A section - not the Dev section

I restored a previous backup. Ditto with the fullscreen crashing, both in Dolphin HD and Opera Mobile browsers.
Kind of bummed too, since one of the main purposes of finding a reason to buy the N7 in the first place was to be able to watch anime on it. Usually 5 out of 6 alternate video links are flash, and the html5 won't full screen..
Is there an addon or app that can be installed that would take over the inline streamed feed?
is there anyway to watch noobroom.com videos on nexus 7 ?
This is the best solution I have found

Flash seems smoother on Mozilla then Dolphin HD+Beta

Great site, thanks
I loaded up 'the Raven' on Mozilla and looks like it let me go to the full screen without crashing, if the other videos are using the same embedded then it should work no problem but if not then use my 'trick' for those
thanks everyone, I'll try sideloading firefox later today with the plugin.

thought youtube used html5 now, chrome does not support flash AFAIK.
as daveleebond has said, youtube can run on html5 now if your browser does not support flash. a lot of video sites online are migrating to html5 since it is not a proprietary plugin like adobe flash, and html5 runs fairly smoothly on most modern GPUs.

Hulu Free on the Nexus 7

Hello,
Has anyone found a way to play the free Hulu videos either in the Android Browser or in a modded Hulu app? All the methods I've tried don't seem to work.
I don't have Hulu plus but I'd like to still watch the Hulu free videos that I normally can via my PC on my Nexus 7. Thanks!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I was curious about that too. What methods have you been trying?
Haven't tried Hulu, but Crackle works well, as does EpixHD (if you have it on your TV).
Splashtop to your desktop PC should work in most cases.

I've tried some method that edits libflashplayer.so, a cracked flash APK, and a couple init.d scripts but none work. Maybe its a JB issue?
And I would use Splashtop but I don't want to need to have my home PC on as well. If I could keep it on-device for the most part, it would be great

HTML sites for movies or tv

Hi everyone I've upgraded from a Motorola Xoom running honeycomb to a new nexus 7. I use it a lot for media and one of the sites I used to use was fastpasstv which needed flash. I know we don't have flash on jellybean and I have also tried the work around in other topics these work of sorts but doesn't have sound for the flash movies.
So was wondering are there any HTML sites which we can use on the nexus 7 to stream movies n TV.
Thanks

Install Aurora, or Boat, or Xscope, the 3 browsers that play flash well.
You can still side load flash and it works fine that way.

Its not supported at all, though I haven't tried using dolphin browser. From what I know they still had a way of having flash work sometimes.

Not officially supported, you have to sideload it.

Works 100% perfect with aokp 4.2 browser , search the themes and apps thread to get a copy and directions
Just load the latest version of flash for android from adobe.com and a browser who supports the plugin e.g. firefox from market and you're fine. works great for me
I also find flash works better when you set user agent to android instead of desktop.
I'm using it with Firefox and it's great -- high frame rate, good resolution. It's almost as good as a desktop experience playing embedded videos.
