Hulu on evo

---

seeing as Hulu blocked android's version of flash, (they say 'licensing issues' because they don't want us getting their content on the go for free, even tho it's ad supported, they all want us to go through itunes and amazon and pay for each episode of the office or whatever show you like) would it be possible to have the android browser use a different browser profile, such as using it and it shows up as a regular chrome browser from windows to the website? I remember that safari on the mac/pc has this built in with the dev mode turned on, and I know firefox can do it with an extension (probably chrome too), but would it be possible on android to be able to get hulu? (I've not had an android phone yet so I still have no idea. Still stuck with Apple's itorture 3gs, can't believe I bought another iphone after the 3g. only 12 days until EVO!)

I 've read some reviews saying they got to view hulu just fine and others stating the exact opposite.

I dont know what to believe.

stock no, there are many reports of froyo working with hulu though. So now that root has come to the evo maybe they can install custom roms too. if thats the case im sure someone will bake a delicious froyo rom

lol, one day later I get my answer here

The funny thing is I texted the guy at engadget with the Evo 4g review unit (the phone number is in a picture with a sticky not on the box) and he never replied back. Coincidence? lol I think not. I can even show the texts to prove it but I sold my iphone today so i'd have to restore my moms iphone to get the texts back, and I'll only go that far if I really must

all you have to do is make Hulu think you're using a desktop browser, which can be done simply by entering "about:debug" in the address bar and switching the UAString setting from Android to desktop.

Actually I think about:debug only works in the Android browser. I think they Sense browser won't do that. At least that didn't work for me.

Sense browser will do that. Yes, hulu will load and even start to play sometimes, but I have not seen it actually play more than a second or two of video. I gave up after playing with it for a bit.

I really wish hulu would step up their game and jump on the mobile bandwagon like everyone else.

As far as I know, its not Hulu's fault. It's the licensing agreement(s) with content providers (NBC, Viacom, etc.) that doesn't allow mobile distribution. But I agree, they are only hurting themselves by not adapting to current demands, especially with big, beautiful devices such as the Evo 4g getting into the hands of consumers.

the about:debug setting has been disabled by hulu. you have to find another workaround. you'll find the solution in the xda section for the only device that currently has froyo
