What forum is this intended for?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] jbuford:
Thanks, this works great, and I've gotten it to work fine in full-screen mode also. I might recommend restarting Opera before you go to Hulu and play a file. The difference between going straight into it and restarting the browser seemed to make a big difference in playback quality.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] technicalsquash:
I had no luck with Opera, but I did install Dolphin HD and am currently watching a Family Guy episiode. Performance is acceptable but not great at 288p, I haven't updated my OS for about 2 weeks so maybe there are some improvements available when I get around to it.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] ace7196:
Think it would be more appropriate for Nook Color general, but you can leave it here too :D A lot more traffic here anyways...
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Gin1212:
The newest nightly I believe updates the ALSA, which does help dramatically with flash videos. Atleast it did for me.

Edit: Actually I don't know, as I don't see it in the changelog. So it may not, if it's not, you can take a look for the ALSA update in the [Dev][Kernel] thread.

Edit 2: Yep it's baked in as of the 14th. So if you have the latest nightly flashed you should have it. And the alsa update should fix flash, as it has for me. Been watching stuff on Megavideo, Karambvideos, Loombo, etc..
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] cowballz69:
it works but its just not watchable, get some really long skipping every couple seconds or so. hope theres a way to smooth this out
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Gin1212:
All right just did this, did not adjust anything quality wise since I don't have an account and don't feel like signing up for one. Works perfectly fine, alsa update makes it run pretty smooth. A little tiny bit choppy, but only noticeable since I just watched this episode of family guy last night.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] cowballz69:
strange I have latest kernel and alsa and its very stuttery in opera. however did u notice while playing a video opera keeps trying to open something looping back and forth. I think thats the reason why its jumpy.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] sjwaste:
Thanks! It works for me in the stock browser set to Desktop/Mac, but not in Opera. No worries, because I prefer the stock browser anyway. Just wanted to post as a data point.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Gin1212:
Not sure, I have ad-free and the latest flash player (10.2), do you have both of those?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] cowballz69:
yes sir. do u get the looping aswell though?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Gin1212:
Not that I can see, but like I said, I just watched a bit of a family guy episode, I didn't watch anything that wasn't animation, so that might have played a part in my perceiving it to work well.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] lschroeder:
Anybody running Phiremod V6, ALSA, and update-CM7-dalingrin-OC-emmc-041811C.zip try this? This will eventually be the latest kernel unless something goes bad.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] poofyhairguy:
I just tried with 041811C and it works as good as it can (slight stuttering sometimes).

Did you do any other additional steps to get it to work with dolphin HD? I'm trying to get it to work now on that browser and I'm not having any kind of luck. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] ace7196:
Did you change your user agent string?

Look here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=10191718#post10191718
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] silentbushido:
Thanks for the help, but unfortunately it still doesn't work for me, I retraced my steps and I used the user agent string that was posted, "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1) AppleWebKit/534.25 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/12.0.706.0 Safari/534.25" and for some reason, the page loads up but where the video suppose to play, its just displays black.

I used the 04042011 kernal OC, and then I just tried using 04182011C kernal OC, I'm currently trying to get this working on dolphin HD (dolphin HD has a custom user agent section). Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] ErroneousBosch:
Running Phiremod v6, can't try.. my /data is empty, so I have no place to put the .so file. I have flash installed and working, but no idea where in the nook it is, and Astro can't find it

O.o
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] :
Not sure...it should be in the path specified :S
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] :
So, maybe hulu has a scout on here :S

Tried to fire it up this morning, getting device not supported :S

Anyone else having luck that had it working yesterday?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] silentbushido:
What I did notice, is when you reboot the NC, and when you view in /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib the file that was copied over isn't there anymore, I noticed this b/c of the time stamp and the original ".bak" that was renamed is gone as well. And everything is restored back to original settings. Possibly check that?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] :
Holy Cow!

How dare they make it not stick :P

Copying back now...

EDIT: Back to working. I just flashed the newest OC'd kernel as well (wiping cache and dalvik). Any idea why those files get restored/erased? Maybe I'll write up a script to copy it back on reboot...
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] cowballz69:
I got full frame rate. will post instuctions soon. pretty easy
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] :
Yeah, now the fps is pretty lame. Maybe the new test kernel (which I doubt)? Anywho, looking forward to your post.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] silentbushido:
freaking awesome! looking forward to it as well!

@ace7196, I was wodering if you can help me and point me to the right direction, I'm not very knowledgble when it comes to this realm of things, the link that you suggested (Look here: http://xdaforums.com/show...8#post10191718), I went to and it seemed that an application named "User Agent Switcher " is required in addition, when I read thru the whole forum, no solution was given; and I tried googling for the .apk and no luck. Based on your 5th instruction, it mentions to copy and paste "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1) AppleWebKit/534.25 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/12.0.706.0 Safari/534.25" within the opera:config -> "User Prefs", when I view that section, it has a slew of different options, which textbox field am I suppose to copy and paste that string value? Did you use that application mentioned within that forum? Or did you copy and paste it within a specific field within "User Prefs", as you can see I'm still trying to get it to work. =) Sorry for asking such noob questions, thanks in advance for the help!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] :
So...what's the question?

I used my instructions. No extra stuff. No need.

Copy and paste the user string I provided into the User Prefs > Custom User-agent box (about half way down). Then save and force close Opera, then openit back up.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] :
double post
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] silentbushido:
Thanks so much it works on Opera Mobile for me now, you rock! Thanks!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] ErroneousBosch:
My problem ended up being that Astro is a little stupid. Used File Expert and worked fine! Little choppy ( I wonder if the DSP is acceling it or not) but perfectly watchable :D Good Work!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] :
So anyone know how to boost framerate? Maybe adjust the cache somehow?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] cowballz69:
u can squeeze some frame rate by not using opera

use dolphin

uncheck load images in settings(a must)

set dolphin to always play flash (won't load video for me if its set to on demand)

log in to hulu and switch to lowest quality. 288 I think

video will now play a lot better frame rate but still not perfect

hope this helps people out
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] cowballz69:
sorry I said perfect frame rate before. after doing more testing of everything its (better) not perfect. hope somone follows my directions on top and post a reply on there results
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] :
Disabling images seems to help in Opera as well. Thanks for the protip ;)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] cowballz69:
some reason i have no luck with opera, it keeps on trying to load something constantly
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] xkiryx:
i could not get it to work with opera nor dolphin HD but instead got it to work with stock browser. nevertheless ... awesome work!! :D
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] :
Added script to push .so file on reboot.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] silentbushido:
by any chance, are you getting duplicate file names appearing within this directory?

- file name: "libflashplayer.so"

- file path: /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/

... from the looks of it, the script did copy over the updated libflashplayer.so file, referenced the file time and date stamp, and for some reason it didn't work for me.

so i included this line snippet, and integrated with the script that you provided, "mv /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so.bak" this just renames the old file (similar to the instruction) and when i included the upraded script, i double checked and it shows that the previous file was renamed and the new one was moved over; and doubled check user agent (2) and the user agent string, everything looked good, tested and still didn't work.

Final attempt, cleared out opera data and cache, redid the previous steps modying the opera:config file and etc, tested and still didn't... any ideas or thoughts why it possibly might not be working for me? thanks in advance for the help. :)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] :
Yeah, forgot the rm of the original in there.

I had some weird behavior with hulu. Try force closing from the manage apps page, then start it back up. Make sure it changed permission to the proper settings. Also try tapping on the screen where the video should load. Also note, I was unable to get the video to load with "load images" off, so I turned that on, refreshed the page, video loads. Then I turn off load images.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] silentbushido:
Thank you for the feedback and tips, I'll try it out when I get home, and see how things pan out.

UPDATE: not sure what I'm doing, tried a variety of things and didn't get the automate correctly; might just stick w/ copying and pasting... haha, it's not that much work, just a minor annoyance for something thats worth it. but it kind of boggles my mind, why i can't get it to work, tried you're previous suggestion and no go, it looked like it should work b/c the updated file was copied to the right file path and the original file got renamed; but i think something else is happening within the life cycle process when it boots the original files and replacing w/ the updated one. Has anyone else tried this with success? @ace7196, you were able to get it to automate? thanks again for the help, appreciate the suggestions.

Write access on nook

Hello, I'm running Honeycomb V04 for the nook' internal memory.

When I try to create a new folder in the "/data" folder, I don't have permission.

Another issue, might be related. Although i can see the nook as a drive on my computer I can't access into the nook when connected via USB.

When I try to root via dab, I can see the nook is connected but I don't think I have the ability to write to the nook.

Am I missing a crucial step?

Thanks for the help,
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] silentbushido:
Just a little reminder, but the subject line should kind of speak for itself, not trying to be a jerk. :D But this applies to "[CM7]" installed nook color devices, I don't think I've run into any NC installed preview HoneyComb OS that are able to even run the latest flash player, I could be wrong, I installed it when I had the HoneyComb preview on my NC, it installed fine, but the player didn't really work when I went to a couple websites. None the less good luck! :)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] :
What the other guy said. But you should get root (sounds like you don't have it?), the market, then install the latest flash. Then just dig around the system for a file that looks similar.

Device not supported

I followed the instructions and hulu worked initially, but all of sudden it has stopped working. I keep getting device not supported no matter which browser i use. I am have completed all the steps
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] silentbushido:
@suggestion -

please check to see if the file that you copied over is still there, sometimes for me it'll get wiped out, so I would need to copy it over again. note, make sure the time stamp is a current one.

- file name: "libflashplayer.so"

- file path: /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] :
It gets wiped out on reboot.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] atulb:
Oh yes i am aware, its really puzzling why it does that even after i recopy and chmod. Hulu is completely broken all of sudden
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] lschroeder:
If you have made a backup of Flash Player with Titanium Backup restore it. Then reapply the libflashplayer.so file and permission. The current version from the market no longer work but a slightly older version of Flash Player 10.2 will work.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] atulb:
:)

Yes its definitely the version issue. Unfortunately I do not have a backup. If someone can kindly point me to a download, it will be appreciated.

keep libflashplayer.so on reboot

Hi Guys,

I need someone else to confirm this but I believe I have a fix to stop libflashplayer.so from being replaced on boot.

1. Install 'BusyBox installer' from Marketplace

2. Open 'BusyBox installer' and install BusyBox V 1.19 (should be latest listed).

3. Open a terminal session, use adb, or SSH into your nook color

4. Type 'su'

5. type 'cd /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib'

6. type 'chattr +i *'

7. type 'lsattr *'. You should see the following:

# lsattr *

-----i------- libflashplayer.so

The 'i' let's you know it is now immutable..

8. Reboot/restart nook

You should now have libflashplayer.so set on reboot. It should be the fixed flashplayer.so file. The chattr command sets all the files to be 'immutable' which stops even root from replacing the files..only way to replace the files is if you set 'chattr -i <filename>'.

Let me know how it goes!.

Paul
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] :
Hardware accelerated flash didn't affect hulu. In fact it hurt it. Current apk is the best for now.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] :
Working great for me on beta2. Make sure you hit save and are using the apk in the op, not market.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] vtmike:
Got it working now. Before I would kill opera by long pressings back after saving the user agent. This time I went to a few sites after making the change and it worked.

I'm using the 1.2 apk currently, thinking of switching to the one in the op due to most videos not being formatted for mobile.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] vtmike:
Anybody try to replace the libflashplayer.so file in the apk before installing it. I tried and was able to install the app. Only thing was dolphin would recognize the plugin and work but opera would not. I have not been able to get dolphin to work with hulu so didn't do much good. The issue I think that might have caused it not to work was the software I used to resign the apk required me to change the name of the apk which may have affected the install.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] smiley4017:
It says can not find chattr when I type it into ssh

I installed busybox and cd into the correct directory without problem but when I typed chattr +i * it gave me the above error

tried terminal too
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] zimmy1979:
You are using BusyBox V1.19 correct? Type 'busybox' at the command prompt. The first few lines should say the version which needs to be 1.19. You made sure to install it with 'BusyBox installer'? The chattr binary should be in /system/xbin/chattr. You can also try typing in the adobe lib directory the following once you verify that BusyBox 1.19 is installed:

/system/xbin/chattr +i *

Paul
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] smiley4017:
Works like a charm. I had 1.16 instead of 1.19.

I accidently updated my flash to 10.3. uninstalled it and reinstalled 10.2 and Hulu still works.

Thanks again

I am having the same problem. /data is totally empty for me, phiremod 6.2. I've tried 4 different file managers.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] gallahad2000:
I get permission denied on "su -cd /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib"

<EDIT: Typed "su" by itself and my "$" prompt changed to "#" and now commands seem to work. Unfortunately, I'd accidentally made the original file immutable so I had to go back in and un-chattr it and then rename, copy, paste, re-chattr the new .so (thanks for posting the un-chattr command as well!)>

Maybe you could change things to:

3. Open terminal emulator on NC or SSH into nook color

4. type 'su'

5. type 'cd /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib'

...for those of us who haven't used a command line since the dos days :)

I just gave the new version a quick run with your so file and it did seem to work.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] :
New version of flash from market doesn't work.

Download the attached zip, install apk inside, then follow along. You do not need to reapply the .so immutable fix if you have already done so. It should stick around.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] gallahad2000:
Oddly enough worked just fine for me. I had just gotten your patch applied and accidentally hit the "update all" in market and frantically started clicking away trying to stop it, failed and then opened up opera to find that hulu was still chugging along just fine.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] :
Did you just try hulu.com and quit? All the intro page does is check stuff out "superficially".

If you try to load a video, it does a few more checks. When updated, mine just hung out at a black screen... :(

It worked by just moving the .bak file, don't ask me how. Now I just need to figure out how to keep the renamed file there after reboot, (I know it's somewhere in this thread) :^)

thanks anyway

Hello,

I've tried the engadget method with no luck. I'm stuck at step 3 "change file permissions". I'm using ES file explorer and have the .bak file copied in the right place. Can I change permissions in terminal emulator, or do i need to buy root explorer.

Any suggestions/help is greatly appreciated.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] :
You can do it in terminal or maybe ES.

IDK the numbers needed in terminal, but just make it the same as the other files in the same folder.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] shumash:
To make it work properly, you need to rename your hosts file to hosts.bak, otherwise the video won't start, and you'll be warned that you have to disable ad-blocking because it can't show the required ad.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] shumash:
The immutable fix doesn't work, at least not for me using CM7 on SD and stock 1.2 in emmc. After reboot, whatever script Adobe uses to reinstall the files fails when it tries to recopy the libflashplayer.so immutated file. The other files aren't copied, and, although both Market and Hulu think Flashplayer is installed, when you try to open a Hulu file, it tries and eventually drops you unceremoniously out of the browser.

While this works and is a really good try, it's just too much of a hassle to setup each time I want to watch a video. I think I'll wait for Hulu to support Android.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] lschroeder:
I just applied the immutable fix to MN rooted stock 1.2, OC 061811 kernel. Here I was using an 10.2 flash hulu libflashplayer.so file that I overwrote and set the permission in the stock 10.1 flash. I also on my SDcard with nightly 108, OC 061811 kernel, uninstalled the flash player, and sideloaded the OP flash player. I wrote the OP libflashplayer.so file to the SDcard and then installed it in the proper directory. I then made this immutable.

In both cases the last step showed all the files in the directory, I was expected it to show only the libflashplayer.so.

I am going to run these for awhile, but if I want to up MN rooted stock 1.2 hulu 10.1 to hulu 10.3 what would be the steps?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] :
Anyone have/try the new hulu app for android? Seems we should be able to fake our device like we have with Netflix. Will investigate more later...

http://www.hulu.com/plus/devices

EDIT: Here is the apk...changing build.prop doesn't seem to fix it. Looks like we need a hacked app :)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] DiDGR8:
It is looking for the old (.29) Linux kernel. Phiremod 6.3 and the last stable CM (7.0.3) seem to work with no changes to build.prop

Unfortunately, editing build.prop to GRI40 and 2.3.3 doesn't let a later (.3x) kernel based version of CM run it.

I am still hoping for a way to spoof it, so far; no joy.
