vansmak: sorry i missed your post somehow.

You need to know the ids from the skin. I know you can look at the skin source. I am not sure the best way to get a list of them


the views available are dictated by the what you set content to.

set content to episodes to get episodes view etc. i am referring to the setContent() for plugins

Weird. Thanks. I tested this with a web browser, and got the same message. I emailed hulu, so hopefully they take care of it! Odd that the ads play.


- BlueCop - 2012-02-01

jmontana: they make no attempt to geographically protect their ads.
It is the main video they care about.

Bluecop,

I jsut started getting this today. It works through the plugin, but I get an error everytime I try and load a video from the library. Here is my log. The last error is the one from the plugin:

sirmeili: you need to re-export to your library.

I included another the eid in the urls for the strm files. they are needed for pre-roll but they could be useful in the future
sorry i should have noted that. I have been updating the library exporting. It will better when complete.


- sirmeili - 2012-02-01

That did the trick. Thanks Bluecop

Not sure if this is the right place for this, but would it be possible to add an option to create .strm files?

This could open up whole new possibilities since we got native .strm support with the latest beta2 for TV shows and Movies. We could easily add folders with .strm files to our xbmc library, let it scan for artwork and then browse content directly in our main library. It is already possible to do it manually if you create a .stm file with the right content, so the "only" thing we need would be native support by the hulu plugin.

.strm file I've created to test this.
Code:
plugin://plugin.video.hulu/?url="[i]xxx[/i]"&mode="TV_play"&videoid="[i]xxx[/i]"&eid=[i]"xxx[/i]"

ursli: it already does this. It has been a feature since September last year.


- ursli - 2012-02-01

Holy crap, how could I miss this. Thanks, I'll try to get the tomatoes off my eyes and check again. Rofl

hey just a heads up I scheduled my repo for deletion.

I am tired for dealing with people. Someone called me names again this morning after I tried to help them.

Check it out now if you want anything off it.

I am keeping my stuff private.

That's really bad news :-(

Perhaps leave it up but pass the baton (along with SVN rights) onto the rest of the community such that you don't have to worry about support?

This beauty is far too good to waste!!

i want to make a closed community that you need to be invited into.


limiting ussage helps us keep the load on hulu low. this keeps them off our back.

publicity kills this plugin everytime. if it gets covered on a major blog then it will be down in a week because it forces hulus hand.


How do you get invited?? - Zeee1 - 2012-02-02
