So what happened to software for this? I don't see WatchOn installed, and its not compatible with the phone. Am I missing something or did that just not quite make it to production?
I had watchon installed and it worked great. Seems sammy bought peel or licensed their tech.

You had it installed on your AT&T us S4? The playstore says it not compatible.
Should come pre installed.

worked great on mine as well
should be pre installed a purple icon and then you need to configure it, have it working on 2 separate tvs and cable boxes
WOW....... I knew it was late, and I know I'm getting old... Time for new glasses. I looked in apps 20x for that stupid thing and went right over it, even knowing what it was called!

I should loose a point for this....
Is anyone using an app other than Samsung WatchON that is compatible with our phones? My initial feeling is that this app is a piece of crap.

Directv HR24
Anyone else having issues with WatchOn controlling a Directv dvr? It works with a Hitachi tv and Pioneer receiver, but I can't seem to get the directv box working.
Check to make sure your DirecTV box isn't set up to use RF instead of IR.

So you had it installed the whole time, you went to the play store (supposedly) and it supposedly said not compatible. It should of said "open" or uninstall If you really checked..

No, the version on the play store was NOT for the s4. It wasn't compatible ( not sure about now, however, i said that a while back and things could have changed by now. ). The version that was already on the phone worked fine as i said already as well. ( where i admitted to being blind and not seeing it already loaded on the phone )

I later realized that the app just doesn't have the alternate Directv remote code sets that you use if you have more than one box in the same location. Hopefully, they can add those.

I installed the updated Netflix app released today and now I'm able to stream movies, the color is off a little though.
Here is the link to apk
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14182239&postcount=1466
i see what you mean..i have this green bar going across the screen in the bottom. colors aren't that great..but eh. i can deal with this for now.
watching Mortal Kombat..
Tried austin powers, plays very smoothly but with strange colors
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
it's the video decoding due to our phones, probably because of the tegra. this has been known since the netflix app was first released (FYI it's been working on our phones since then, the APK was posted in the apps forum)
Still a pretty awesome step in the right direction.
Doesn't android have a graphics layer that's standard across releases that developers can code to instead of hardware specific? Greenbar is pretty annoying.

It does, although this is a video decoder issue.

Seems to be similar to the Netflix app. Only support for certain devices. SNS obviously is one of them.

Using the link, I just downloaded it onto my NS4G...
Is anyone else having issues with the app? I can't get it to work. It just buffers.
ive used it a little on my home wifi, works just fine and the picture looks great.
No idea how well it works on 4g or 3g.
sucks
cant get it to work either on stock or rooted rom

Do you use a hosts file to block ads? make sure none of the listings include *hulu*
If the ads are not able to load than it will sit and buffer than tell you you have a connection issue.
Today's update must have added support. It didn't work previously on my N8000 so I'm guessing it didn't work on any Note. Apologies if this isn't news.
any news is better than no news...
but glad to hear its supported...thinking about getting hulu plus but the ads sucks
Ads suck and no rooted devices ... need modded apk

It appears to work but actually streaming video does not. I have no ad blocking software installed and it stops after the ads in the begining.

This is pulled from a backup with rom toolbox

and this one I found on my computer, I am pretty sure that it it what I loaded onto my note a while ago, but can't remember
https://www.dropbox.com/s/mjve19cscw50tyq/Mod2com.hulu.plus-2.apk
So one of those should do the trick for you, and also, when all else fails, ask jeeves...

Believe the only way is through the browser by a hack flash player until Hulu update it for compatibility on our device.

Curious, I tried both of these, but they won't install. I get the screen to install, but nothing happens when I hit the "Install" button. The "Cancel" button works fine. BTW, I do have the "Unknown Sources" checked... I am not rooted, but that shouldn't matter? I'm wondering why I can't install an APK???

That is pretty odd, but not being rooted, you shouldn't have any issues with the unmodded hulu app in the first place. It is still weird that it doesn't want to install though, have you tried restarting your device?

The stock Hulu app plays ads just fine, but it won't play the actual video. I've tried everything I could think of, including re-starting numerous times.
Stock version was updated tonight and now works. I too was just able to view the ads only, but now everything works! Yay!!

I can also confirm that the Stock version is now working. I can watch TV shows instead of just ADs. Previously mine only played ads.
Sweet! Thanks for the heads up!

This is not true. The one on the s4 can add more than two. Go into setting on watchon and select add another device. You can also add another room also. I have mine set up with cable tv and onkyo receiver.
You could also try out Touchsquid. It's a Samsung app for the IR Blaster. I've been using the paid version with great success.

Touchsquid is not a Samsung app.
The app name is 'Samsung remote by Touchsquid' and it works amazing the new version is able to go in portrait mode. I've used I only my tab 2 7.0 and S4.
