You have to go into your sd card and look for the skyraider folder. Enclosed is the install flash file you need.

What is a OP lol? I have searched the fourms for another HULU app thread but cant find any. Since it sounds like there is a thread out there and i cant seem to find it does anyone have a link? I found the file inside the skyraider folder but I cant open it i cant flash it, what am I suppose to do with it? And if this is something that needs pushed with someone please for the love of god direct me to a thread that will explain and teach me how to do that. I feel silly everytime I have to ask how to do it, I use a mac and everything i find talks about a PC. I have just had to copy exact line commands when i end up wanting to push items.

You need to install the modified adobe flash apk to watch hulu in the app.

I have SDK but i cant seem to get anyone to point me in the direction of a thread that teaches you the commands to push things like apk's

If you want to remove the stock flash, flash this from recovery
http://www.mediafire.com/?evi93q9t1fgya3z
Then install the hacked flash .apk
Thanks to scuccia for providing the .zip a while back.

Thank you for the advice BUT I still dont understand installing a .apk. I need to be directed to a thread that will explain this for a Mac user I have SDK i just dont understand the command lines. Help please?

Huh? You don't need to use your mac...
Run the zip I gave you, that gets rid of the original flash. Reboot. Then just run the hacked flash via astro or whatever file manager you use.

O kick ass thanks man!

that did not work for me at first....then I followed the below instruction and everything worked
Here is a temporary resolution for the Hulu problem.
1. Open your stock browser and let your home page load.
2. Erase everything in the address bar and type "about:debug" and press return (note: nothing will appear to have happened; that's good.)
3. Press Menu and select Settings.
4. Scroll all the way to near the bottom and select UAString and change it to Desktop.
5. Press Back to exit Settings.
6. Clear the address bar and type this address into it: "http://www.hulu.com/widget/player/videos" and press Enter
7. You may have to adjust the zoom to get it larger.
8. This is just like the Hulu app, but you can change your orientation to landscape by tilting your phone. Then pinch and zoom to get the video to fill the screen, but do not tap and hold the video to make it full screen.

i have a problem my audio plays in slow motion ????

So does mine. I think Hulu changed something...

Modified libflashplayer.so and hulu?

Anyone had any luck getting the video player to actually work, i modified the .so file myself so i know i did it correctly at least as far as the patch that worked on my phone is concerned but on the acer i just got i can't get it to load up a video, just sits there blank
EDIT: nevermind i forgot to reset user agents and flash permissions on the browser, i guess i'm too tired

where do you place the so file??? Can you help me get this working?

Get eh libflashplayer.zip from here and follow the instructions.

Make sure you have installed flash 10.3 first.
Works great.

Ok I still can not get this to work.
I have Flash 10.3
I downloaded the zip file in the link and moved the .so file into the data/data/adobe..... location and replaced the file that was in there.
I rebooted. I have Dolphin HD set to desktop. I have cleared all the cache and cookies. I have it set to always enable plug-ins as suggested deep in those threads.
I have tried everything but yet, neither the apk hulu listed, or the website will play any hulu videos. I can see the page, the ads load fine. SpikeTV loads it's videos, just not Hulu.
I keep getting the "video not available on your platform" after the loading circle.
Help????
Edit: The stock browser does not work either.

I've noticed that every time I reboot that file gets reverted and I have to copy it back over.
Try killing your browser with a task manager and reopening it after copying, instead of rebooting.

That did it! Thanks!
It's working in Dolphin HD.
So to recap the steps for others.
Get Flash 10.3
Go to link mentioned above,
Download the .so Zip file.
Move the .so file to the data/data/adobe..lib folder
replace the file with the downloaded.
Make sure you are set to Desktop and not Mobile.
Also, not sure if it is needed, but I set the settings to Always Enable Plug-Ins.
Hulu works!

Fix for Flash 10.3 on CM7

To get Flash 10.3 working on the stock browser you need to do two things:
1) force stop the browser process
2) Remove all permissions for /data/data/com.android.browser/app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player/config.data
*Fix also works for Dolphin. Just change com.android.browser to mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser
Changing the permissions restricts the flash plugin or the stock browser or the webkit or I dunno what from reading config.data. This file is screwing with video playback of anything over 240p.
What's weird is that the config.data generated for 10.2 and 10.3 appears to be identical, except for the ProductVer string. Since the file contains settings for h264 high, baseline and main profiles, there's probably some change in 10.3 to the way it uses this information.
Either way, this is a bandaid for those that don't wish to use Opera until the heart of the issue is found/addressed.

how do you remove permissions? i saw the ability to do this was added in a while ago in the nighthlies, but I've never had to do it....

You'll need to use a file manager that supports it. I use File Expert while others prefer Root Explorer.
Btw, this is not the same as application permission control which is what you are thinking of.

oh okay. ill try it.
Well no matter the file browser I chose, the data/data directory doesn't exist, it just shows up empty. Even running multiple searches in File Expert yielded no results

I'm running CM7...
using terminal emulator i can just do a cd data/data/com.android.browser and it shows the listing. but if i go to the file manager it doesnt show it. Weird.
So i was able to edit the permissions. My superuser app wasnt properly giving superuser permission to the file explorer, which is weird because during that time it worked for terminal emulator just fine...
I removed all permissions for it, but flash still isnt working.
nvm. Fixed. Left the boxes on the far right checked, for 'Exe', and unchecked all other read and write permissions boxes. Working so far.

Nice find! Works perfectly...

Was just about to do this but looks like the newest nightly will incorporate this fix.
Edit: nevermind, something different.

Can anyone give me a set-by-step walk through on how to do this. I can find the data/data/com.android.browser in file expert, but dont see the /app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player/config.data.
How exactly do you remove the permissions and how do you change the com.android.browser to the mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser?
Sorry for the noob questions.

Having issue with fix
Hello. I've been trying to perform the fix but I'm running into an issue. I have CM 7.0.3 on a gTablet running Flash 10.3.185.23. I am using File Expert and it has been given access by super user.
The issue is that I can browse to /data/data/com.android.browser/app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player/ but I do not see the config.data file in that folder. I have tried looking in the Dolphin Browser folder also but it's no there. I have even tried doing a search in the whole com.android.browser folder but it's still not finding it. Am I missing something or doing something wrong? Thank you.

So I finally figured it all out and thought I would share.
I installed the "updated" version of flash 10.3 from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=618977&d=1307513130
Then I followed the same instructions as in this video to enable HULU, but dropbox is not necessary if you dont want it.
http://youtu.be/1JbZnSKCfY0
I was having trouble with the directory given in the original post because I had already set up Dolphin as my default browser, so the app_plugins...extension I was looking for was in there not in com.android.browser.
So in file expert, first make sure you have given super user permissions, then hit the back arrow at the bottom menu bar "2 times", press data, press data again, scroll down to the bottom to mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser, there should be 2 files with the same name, dont choose the one with only a lib folder, it should have many folders, scroll to top and find app_plugins and press, press com.adobe.flashplayer, press .macromedia, press Flash_Player, at the bottom you should see config.data, long press the file, "operations menu opens" press file operations, then press permissions, uncheck ALL boxes.
Then go back into Dolphin Browser and give it a shot. I have been able to watch all episodes I tried on HULU and all videos on youtube in the browser, when in you tube and selecting videos to watch, make sure you choose the Dolphin choice and not m.youtube or browser, and dont switch back and forth between android and desktop mode, if you do you will revert the custom agent file back to a recognized mobile platform even if you choose desktop mode again, it needs to stay at the custom. I dont use any other browsers so I dont know if it will work for others, but I imagine the same file extensions will be associated with any browser you have set as your default and you should be able to do all the same steps. I'm currently running cm7.0.3 stable, hope this helps anybody that needs it.

it works !
in terminal just two command you need:
Code:
su
chmod 000 /data/data/com.android.browser/app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player/config.data

You didn't explain how you set up the stock browser being that dolphin was your default.

So couldn't you replace "com.android.browser" with the alternate folder respectively for any others browser you use?

[FIX] MLB at Bat Live Game Streaming on CM7,OMFGB, OMGB Thunderbolt

This fix is for the MLB at Bat app and will not break Netflix. MLB.TV users can enter thier account info on MLB at Bat for access to all live streaming games on their phone via Flash.
The problem is with CM7, OMFGB, OMGB that when you load up MLB at Bat and enter your MLB.TV account information, you do not get the option for the live games. This has only been tested on CM7 and will probably work on OMFGB/OMGB. This is not a problem for Sense based roms. There are two parts to the fix.
1. Getting the MLB at Bat app to recognize that your phone is authorized to play live content.
2. Getting the flash player to stream properly. Users encounter a live stream with only audio and no video on AOSP based roms. OR no stream at all.
FIX Part 1 (Getting MLB at Bat to authorize your phone for live content)
You need to edit the build.prop file in /system of your phone's root file system. To do this you need to use a file system viewer/edit app that can mount the file system as read/write ie. ES File Explorer or Root Explorer. I use Root Explorer. You can get this app on the market for $3.93US. Well worth the money with what it can do. ES File explorer is free on the market but is hit or miss on certain ROMs when it comes to mounting the file system to read/write. My instructions will be with Root Explorer but will be similar if you decide to use ES File Explorer.
To Begin:
Edit the build.prop (if you are a Netflix user, don't worry. It still works after this fix)
-Open Root Explorer and navigate to the root of your phone's file structure.
-Go to the file /system. Then press the Mount R/W button in the top right hand corner.
-Press and hold the file build.prop
-Scroll down and select "Open in Text Editor."
-Edit the following information exactly as it appears below under NEW.
OLD
ro.product.model=ThunderBolt
ro.product.brand=htc_wwe
NEW
ro.product.model=ADR6400L
ro.product.brand=verizon_wwe
-Then press menu> Save Changes. It will then backup your old build.prop as build.prop.bak and save the new one as build.prop
-Reboot your phone.
-After it boots up open MLB at Bat and make sure your MLB.TV account information is setup. Press and hold an in progress game. You should now have the option to watch the game live.
IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!! You need to attempt to watch a game before doing FIX Part 2 or it will not work. The file you need to edit “config.data” will not be there.
Fix Part 2
This is the same fix that is posted on the first page of slayher’s CM7 RC 1.4 post for fixing Flash player 10.3 in the stock browser by removing permissions in config.data. The only difference is we are doing it for MLB at Bat.
To begin:
-Using Root explorer navigate to /data/data/com.bamnetworks.mobile.android.gameday.atbat2011.full/app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player/
-Press and hold the file config.data and select Permissions.
-Remove the check marks in all the boxes and then select ok.
-Then Reboot
You should now be able to watch live games.

Thanks OP this was one of the last things that I wanted for CM7!

This is great, thanks.
Unfortunately, it does not work for me.
Part 1 was ok, I see the option to watch live feed, click on it.... does not work.... and I jump into Part 2.
But the required file is not there.
Tried many times.
Thanks anyway.

Are you using using data or wifi to stream? Are you using CM7 or OMFGB? If your on data give the app a minute to determine your location. Wifi it should start right up. Also this is assuming you have the game plan with no blackouts. The app will not stream until it knows your location via cell tower or wifi. The stream should start up with sound only and no video. Once that happens you can move on to step 2.

Also, I don't know if this makes a difference but I was using Flash 10.3 from the market, not 10.2.

Those having problems. This fix is for Flash 10.3. Try uninstalling MLB at bat and also Flash 10.3 and reboot. Then, re-install Flash 10.3 and then MLB at Bat. Turn WiFi on. Then try to play a live game. Wait for the stream to initialize with sound and then shut down MLB at Bat. Then do Part 2 of the fix.

[TIP][Jellybean][Flash always on fix] Dolphin Beta browser + Adobe Flash

Hello everybody I shall be brief,
Tired of having on-demand flash? Needless tapping to get things started? Running Jellybean? Then do this: (yes I sound like a ****ty commercial)
1. Grab and install flashplayer http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774336
2. Grab Dolphin Browser for Android from Google Play.
3. With your favourite file explorer navigate to: /data/data/com.dolphin.browser.lab.en/shared_prefs/com.dolphin.browser.lab.en_preferences.xml
4. Make sure to force close Dolphin Beta then delete com.dolphin.browser.lab.en_preferences.xml
5. Start dolphin again, com.dolphin.browser.lab.en_preferences.xml will be recreated. Note: At this point Flash will automatically be on-demand, and if you're fine with that - then you're done here. If you want always-on, then continue.
6. With your file explorer navigate to: /data/data/com.dolphin.browser.lab.en/shared_prefs/com.dolphin.browser.lab.en_preferences.xml
7. Edit the line <string name="plugin_state">ON_DEMAND</string> to <string name="plugin_state">ON</string>. If it the line isn't there type it in at the bottom of this file, and save.
8. Done.
TL;DR: Modify line containing <string name="plugin_state">ON_DEMAND</string> in /data/data/com.dolphin.browser.lab.en/shared_prefs/com.dolphin.browser.lab.en_preferences.xml to <string name="plugin_state">ON</string> or add it if it doesn't exist, then force close and restart Dolphin Beta browser. Now Adobe Flash always loads automatically.

the changes do not stick.
EDIT: I had to change permissions to read only. (do NOT open dolphin) then immediately rebooted. now they stick.. TY for this
EDIT: It COULD have been that I didn't reboot after I installed flash. No way to know that without re-installing it which I'm not going to do lol

i have flash player working on jellybean but with another method ..
but u need an old version of either firefox or dolphin for it to work properly..anyhow your method is more intresting..i will try it :victory:

Thanks
I could enable flash on Dolphin 9.3.1 (non beta) by editing this file:
/data/data/mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser/shared_prefs/mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser_preferences.xml
I also discovered the change does no stick between reboots so I changed this file permission to 440 instead of 660.
Cheers,

All i do to get flash working is uninstall it via titanium then just restore a backup of it, simple

Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

Using Xperia ZL (yes I know this is a different forum) this worked great, with the caveat that I had to edit the file twice -- the first time (after it was recreated) it was absent, typed it in; started Dolphin and it changed to "ON_Demand". Edited the file again, it stuck this time (have rebooted and tried multiple times -- still on, still working).
Thank you.
