Default [Q] Hulu

I've been looking around for a few days now and can't seem to find it. Does anyone know how to get hulu to work on the Evo View Tablet? I've got it rooted of course and I tried to use the kindle version I can get it to install and load but it keeps giving me an error when I try to watch videos. Any help with this would be great.

Bah. What's the difference between the flyer and the view? Why would they release it for one and not the other? Lol, I bet someone here can get it to work on the view.

Got my HTC Flyer today and got HULU working.


Here is what you need to do to get it working:

1) Get root !
follow this guide here (thanks globatron)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1194709

2) After you have root access you can follow the guide to get HULU working:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1153196


In a nutshell:
a) make sure that you have root, busybox installed and working
b) download and install flash player 11.0.1.152
c) flash hulu-hack zip file from CWM
d) use desktop mode in the browser to watch HULU. I use Dolphin HD with mobile/desktop switcher plug-in.

I also had to install "Script Manager" from the market, navigate to /system/etc/init.d, select S98fixflash and check the "run on boot"

It works great on mine. I had it running fine on Gingerbread and right now on Honeycomb.

Do you get the message that device is unsupported? That would mean that you're not using the hacked version of flash for one reason or another. Once you get Hacked flash zip installed through CWM, try manually copying /data/flash/libflashplayer.so into /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/ using RootExplorer. Overwrite the old file. After that try running Hulu. If it works, but you're loosing Hulu after reboot, make sure that script is running on restart using Script Manager.

Yeah, something's not quite right I will double check tomorrow. Another note, are you running stock root? I wanted to get honeycomb on my tab but the ROM I'm running has been so stable and great.
