I suspect that the problem is the hulu plugin stores the Hulu authentication token in the addon directory rather than the profile directory. That means all instances of the plugin would share the same token, and thus the same login. If I'm correct, it would require a code change to fix it.

The code in question would be below in common.py under <plugin dir>/resouces/lib.

Code:
COOKIEFILE = os.path.join(pluginpath,'resources','cache','hulu-cookies.lwp')
QUEUETOKEN = os.path.join(pluginpath,'resources','cache','token.xml')

Notice the Hulu cookie and the authentication token are both stored in the <addon directory>/resouces/cache itself rather than in a profile directory. That means they are shared across all profiles. So, once you logon to Hulu, all profiles will be logged on w/ the same id. Unfortunately, I don't know enough about XBMC addon programming to fix it.

Guys I can't install the Hulu plugin from the bluecop repository, when I press install it says : Downloading from 0% and it nevers downloads or installs it.

Do you guys have any suggestions ?

Greetings


RE: [SUPPORT] Hulu Video Plugin - artrafael - 2013-02-16

How long did you wait? The status indicator never increments; it just goes from 0% to Enabled.


RE: [SUPPORT] Hulu Video Plugin - Blasterke - 2013-02-16

When I exit the bluecop repo and enter back in it says installed. But I never see a message that the Hulu plugin is installed right under in XBMC , when I want to start Hulu it says scrip error.

Can you help me please Smile

Thank you for the response. Ill check with bluecop to see if he can fix or another developer. Appreciate the help

The "script error" message can be due to any number of issues. You will want to enable debug log (wiki)ging in XBMC, launch the add-on and, when it fails, exit XBMC, locate your debug log (wiki) (xbmc.log), upload its contents to www.xbmclogs.com and post the assigned URL for your uploaded log here so others can review it.

As of Saturday 2/16/2013 any of the PBS based shows on hulu generate "Too many sessions" error. I have tried many different tv channels and they all seem to be fine. This is happening on openelec on raspberry pi (frodo) and windows xbmc (frodo)

Upload of debug enabled xbmc.log:

As an alternative, you can try the PBS add-on.

FYI, I played a PBS show earlier today just to quick test this and it worked fine. (I do have Hulu+)

Hello all,

I have been getting the script failed error from the Hulu plugin. It fails almost immediately. I am using XBMC for Android. I have ads set to 0 and cdn to akamai. Any help would be much appreciated. The log link is:

If you have commercials enabled it seems like audio/video are slightly out of sync which makes viewing a bit difficult.

"close any Hulu Plus videos you may be watching on other devices"

I understand from some earlier posts this is a technical issue with how the plugin works with other xbmc features, but I am wondering if there are any updates to the problem? Is there some way to clear the entire queue manually? Is there a file someplace or script that can be added?

Also, I saw skipping to the end of the episode will remove it from the queue. I find though that this just forwards to the commercial then I get the open stream error or the plugin sometimes hangs.

It is great watching hulu in the xbmc environment on the big screen! Thank you for the good work!

Quote:"close any Hulu Plus videos you may be watching on other devices"
I'm getting the same error trying to play some videos from Hulu, though I know that I am not watching Hulu on any other devices. Any ideas what could be causing this issue, or how to resolve it? I'd hate to rebuild XBMC again just because of this one issue...
