Hulu?

[tozz88]

Has anybody heard when Hulu support will show up? I can install the app but it wont play videos.

I emailed them a few weeks back about support for the prime. I got back a canned response stating they are continuously working on supporting more android devices. It then stated that they could not give a timeframe for when the prime would be supported.

I've read on some other forums for various tablets (Toshiba Thrive and Galaxy Tab for example) that you could install a "hacked" version of flash which would allow Hulu (via web browser) to work on a tablet. I'm curious if anyone has tried that on a Prime as watching shows on Hulu is one of the things I would like to do when I can get my hands on one.

I believe that is quite a bit older version of flash. I'm not sure if the hacked version would work on ICS.

Good News!!! It looks like we might have an option for Hulu. A modified hulu.apk is now available to give access on devices not certified by Hulu thanks to Blunttedsmurf over at XDA. I hope this will work on our primes. I will try it as soon as I have a chance.

Maybe its like HBOgo, the app does not work, but you can watch through the browser just fine.

The link I posted is a modified version of the Hulu app to allow it to work on devices not yet certified by Hulu. The modified Hulu app also does not need root.

A fix has been posted earlier that modifies flash on the prime that allows you to watch from the Hulu website. For this root is needed.
