Skyfire compatible websites.

Has anyone else had Hulu stop working. It played fine until this evening. Now it shows the "video not compatible with your device" message. They work pretty fast.

If you get that message, hit back and try it again. It should work. I was watching Modern Family today.

I watch that show religiously! lol
I'm gonna be pretty sad when it's all over with.. :(
In my opinion, it's still in pretty good standing, but they're right to stop after this season. I don't think they would have been able to drag it on for another season and kept it interesting though..

LOST has gotten better this season. The season where they kept flashing forward was the one that screwed me up. I think it was too much. Made my brain hurt. haha.
 
Sadly I think the have "fixed" hulu to no longer work on Skyfire...Now the question becomes, does Skyfire play cat and mouse with Hulu by trying to get it working again? (Ala Palm/Apple)?

**EDIT** Oh, and this season of Lost has been seriously kick ass!!

I wonder if they'll do a spin off... that would be interesting. What do you guys think?

That's unfortunate. Hopefully we get the flash 10 update soon.

How are you getting that site to work? Every link I "click" on asks me to sign up for something.


I wanna watch Iron Man too. :(

A spinoff? I don't know. I heard that Ben and Locke (well not the show characters) are getting there own show. Not sure what it is but both of them are awesome actors.

Awww man! I think you're right. It won't even recognize the video feed. :(

Add megavideo to the list too. I managed to get it working. Although it did buffer a lot, it still played and was really good quality. I'm hoping skyfire continues to improve to the point where its better then the stock browser with full flash support. I've been hearing since it uses html5 video codec it will use less battery then flash.

Mega video is iffy. I've tried it a couple of times but it hangs at 25% then stops working. I'll add just in case it's just me.

I tried this and some of the movies send me to megavideo and it quits loading at the 25% mark. Darn, but it looks like it should work.
 
Yeah it used to load up perfectly. Now it just hangs at 25% like you said.
How are you guys getting davidmovies to work. It keeps taking me to a site not found page when I click on watch online.

Edit: ok davidmovies works even when you get the page unavailable message. I don't know if it will work for everyone but if you sit at the page the video will eventually load up. I'll test some of the movies to see how many work.

Well David Movie uses other websites to host the movie. Like Iron Man 2 worked. I'm watching it right now. But other movies use MegaVideo, which doesn't.

This is freakin sweet!

The Ironman movie that loads up in DavidMovie.com takes you to Zshare.net (or something like that) it should work. I'm watching it right now at work! sweet. The quality isn't that good though but it's ok.

Does anyone know of a site that streams live channels? I can't seem to find one.

ATDHE.NET is pretty good. It pulls feeds off of Justin.TV, but has everything linked up, nice and organized. Lots of sports, and all the major networks.
 
Sorry if this has already been posted but I came across another site that is compatible with the Skyfire browser (and the default android browser in some cases).

It is the free tv project and is located here:

Watch all tv series online for FREE

It has a very large listing of TV series including many new series. Just as other sites like davidmovies.com link to places like megavideo this one does as well. Most of what I have seen are links to veoh, tudou, youtube, and megavideo. Of course the megavideo links do not work as discussed above but the veoh and tudou links work great in Skyfire. If you come across a youtube video you will be better served loading that up in the default browser as it will automatically link to the embedded youtube player.

When you first go to the site and click on a TV show or a season you will be presented with quite a few about:blank windows with just white screens. Hit the back button and select a different series. You may get a few more about:blank windows but eventually the page will load properly. For some reason it seems as though once the browser "learns" how to load the pages then they all load perfectly from that point on. Don't have a clue why this is. For the youtube episodes I would suggest going to this post and downloading the updated youtube.apk which will give you HQ youtube episode videos.

Of course you have to install the apk at your own risk. Again I apologize if this has been covered already but I did not see it in this thread.
