RE: [SUPPORT] Hulu Video Plugin - d2a2 - 2014-02-25 Right - just switched to another DNS based unblocker. Same situation - hulu plays back on all machines via browser. Playback of limelight source via addon fails with access denied. Just tried signing up and logging into hulu (not plus) via addon and same result. Could there be a cache or other old config stopping access? RE: [SUPPORT] Hulu Video Plugin - RaVeNV1 - 2014-02-25 With an US-located VPN, Limelight works for me @non-Plus and Beta-Plugin. With just Overplay SmartDNS, it doesn't. I have made some logs, for everyone interested. Limelight - non-Plus - US-located VPN: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=138490 Limelight - non-Plus - SmartDNS: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=138494 Limelight - Hulu+ - US-located VPN: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=138495 Limelight - Hulu+ - SmartDNS: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=138496 Limelight doesn't work/show up, when Hulu+ is enabled, and thats the main problem for me now.

Mine stopped working several months ago, none of the dif forum fixes worked for me, even the mod on the rd forum. 1. enable "direct download" in settings on rd website 2. uninstall existing Hulu addon 3. install Hulu addon (v3.4.5 or v3.9.7 beta from rd forum) Many thanks.

Level3 will not work for anyone until the librtmp library used to fetch flash streams gets patched for version 2 SWF verification, which i dont think will happen any time soon. I've managed to get the edgecast server to handshake and reply, but it's not great news. It appears that edgecast uses drm and encrypts the video and audio streams as can be seen below: 21:01:53 T:2320 NOTICE: Creating Demuxer 21:01:53 T:2320 NOTICE: Metadata: 21:01:53 T:2320 NOTICE: duration 2895.67 21:01:53 T:2320 NOTICE: moovPosition 36.00 21:01:53 T:2320 NOTICE: width 640.00 21:01:53 T:2320 NOTICE: height 480.00 21:01:53 T:2320 NOTICE: videocodecid encv 21:01:53 T:2320 NOTICE: audiocodecid enca 21:01:53 T:2320 NOTICE: avcprofile 100.00 21:01:53 T:2320 NOTICE: avclevel 30.00 21:01:53 T:2320 NOTICE: aacaot 2.00 21:01:53 T:2320 NOTICE: videoframerate 23.98 21:01:53 T:2320 NOTICE: audiosamplerate 22050.00 21:01:53 T:2320 NOTICE: audiochannels 2.00 21:01:53 T:2320 NOTICE: tags: 21:01:53 T:2320 NOTICE: ©too Hulu v1.2 AFAIK this cannot be handled by XBMC - nor should we try to - probably.

Every video i tried that had a Limelight source had an unencrypted Edgecast source. AKA Edgecast works for every video that has a Limelight source. So this doesnt really help us at all. I've applied the changes to the appropriate file and uploaded it here. It would be great if everyone could give it a shot and see if they can find instances of Edgecast working when there is no Limelight source, or when Limelight fails (which doesnt seem to happen very often). Huge thanks to @learningit for figuring out how Edgecast works. RE: [SUPPORT] Hulu Video Plugin - alibaba011 - 2014-02-26 @spanktastic2120 although i have to manually select the quality but it works for every video i have tried when i choose edgecast. Before it was only couple of videos worked in limelight mode. My cdn is limelight hulu plus disabled https://www.dropbox.com/s/6uj03w85r7jwiir/hulu.png Thanks for the support RE: [SUPPORT] Hulu Video Plugin - RaVeNV1 - 2014-02-26 Edgecast also works with Hulu Plus enabled. Tested with Family Guy Season 9 and 10. But it sometimes needs some time, to show up the quality selection screen (Raspberry Pi, OpenELEC 3.2.4, Medium-Overclock-Settings). RE: [SUPPORT] Hulu Video Plugin - TamaraKama - 2014-02-26 So far so good for me too with Hulu Plus enabled. I applied the edited .py file, disabled real-debrid and re-enabled Hulu Login and kept Hulu Plus checked. It brings up the list of choices now and I choose edgecast and it just works for me now with all the videos I've chosen to watch so far. Watched some farscape in 720p, how it works, a Trigun OAV, a documentary about atlantis, and a smattering of other videos... If I run into any that don't you'll be the first to know. All that needs to be fixed from my point of view right now is having to choose the source each time I play a video.

GREAT WORK!!!! I love this community!!! this file has worked! the only thing that I noticed is that shows like "the daily show", "colbert report" -- their latest shows are not available they are there, but when you click on them, it says "this content has expired". I also noticed that there is no "(HD)" in the title name. so I don't know if there is some kind of extra delay for shows... -- nevermind, they aren't even on the website yet. but hey! I can live with that... at least we have Hulu Plus working again.

All that needs to be fixed from my point of view right now is having to choose the source each time I play a video. I have looked at storing the selected CDN from the list as a "fallback" CDN, the code is not a lot but it requires changes in several files to work. The issue is that I notice that the CDN indicator from edgecast (and sometimes level3) contains a server prefix which changes. This means that even though you set a fallback CDN by selecting from the list given, you may need to re-select from time to time depending on what the server sends back which may defeat the purpose of saving the fallback in the first place. I would not propose adding edgecast to the default CDN list - many feeds are encrypted and the server prefix issue. Maybe someone has a better idea? RE: [SUPPORT] Hulu Video Plugin - d2a2 - 2014-02-26 well i don't know what to think now. Seems to be all sorts of inconsistent behaviour. i'm using a trial of another DNS based unblocker. no hulu + and no login. default CDN set to limelight. i have managed to get a single episode of a show to play once but not subsequently, and other episodes do not playback. other requests also seem to be timing out. could be the DNS again but here's a log in case it's useful: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=139282 RE: [SUPPORT] Hulu Video Plugin - locomot1f - 2014-02-26 learningit Wrote:I have looked at storing the selected CDN from the list as a "fallback" CDN, the code is not a lot but it requires changes in several files to work.

Maybe someone has a better idea? hope you saw my edits. just seems that those shows haven't been made available. i've tested quite a few shows, and (for me) things seem to be working with Hulu Plus. keep up the great work. I can try to get you some logs, if you think that will help in figuring out the best way to correcting the CDN selection process.

Great work, its working for me. No Hulu + no login using a DNS unblocker. I have to select the quality /cdn evry time but thats okay. RE: [SUPPORT] Hulu Video Plugin - grinny11 - 2014-02-26 Not exactly sure how I copy files over from my mac to my xbmc on my AppleTV (I'll google to look for the commands), but I will definitely try this out when I get home. Really wanting my hulu+ back without commercials. |
