Same here. Android 4.0.4 on SGE4GT. Compiled today from latest git pull. 
Generated APK is xbmcapp-armeabi-v7a-debug.apk.

Tried with Hulu, not Hulu Plus. It plays a commercial. Immediately after the 
commercial, it simply returns to the video list. The video, aside from the 
commercial, never plays.

I expect my Mele A2000 will be here today. I've read its the same result there 
too. Hopefully in the next day or two, I'll be able to pull off some debug 
information and/or provide some logs. For now, here's the adb (android 
debugging logging) output.

I didn't really see anything stellar jump out at me in the log. I read 
elsewhere someone had already tracked it down to a library failing to load. 
Take that with a grain of salt.

I think this is because of issues with rtmp support on android I don't know if 
it can truly be consider a bug

My understanding is the rtmp library is part of the xbmc build. There are 
apparently buggy versions of the rtmp library which cause all sorts of 
streaming problems. Unfortunately, some forks of xbmc contain the buggy rtmp 
libraries. Seems the xbmc android fork includes this buggy library. Some of the 
known problems include failure to support redirects and decoding bug which 
causes streaming to fail within minutes of start - usually at 60-second mark. 
The no redirect bug is why commercials play but the show does not.

The fix appears to be to include the latest working version of the rtmp 
libraries with the xbmc build.

So yes, now that I better understand what I believe to be the origin of the 
problem, it does not appear to be a plugin issue.
