Default [Q] Hulu working on Flyer

Has anyone been able to get Hulu working on the HTC flyer? If so, how did you get it to work? Thanks for any information!

AFAIK, the only way to get Hulu running on Android requires root. There are system files you need to change in Flashplayer, to it spoofs Hulu into thinking you are on a desktop computer. So until root is achieved, probably no Hulu.

I have root on my View now, so what's next?

You can try this:

I haven't tried it yet. Its for the Galaxy S II, but past Hulu hacks have worked pretty much regardless of device. This one runs a script at every reboot, so I don't know if that makes a difference. Back up your ROM to be safe.

And I'm not sure that the Flyer meets the following requirement:
Kernel with init.d support (most custom kernels with root support) and root

Any custom ROM has init.d for the Flyer.
mkdir android ; cd android ; repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git ; repo sync ; make

I don't want to lose sense though. I tried the above link and can only assume its the lack of unit.d that made it not work.

Only custom ROMs? Does stock have this? I'm personally still running the stock ROM.

Let's revisit this since Hulu is reportedly now available on the Flyer. Anyone have any luck on the Flyer or the View? It doesn't show up in the market for the View.

A few months ago i found the .APK and installed it on my flyer. until yesterday, i kept getting the message that it wouldn't work on it. Now I can play the free gallery videos with no issues. I am on a stock flyer.
