No, actually I misread your other post. I thought you had said, "If you want to help, post the log" rather than "If you want help, post the log." I agree wholeheartedly. I was just accustomed to getting screamed at about not posting a log of my already working setup before responding... Confusing, eh?
I agree with Bluecop that we can't really discuss how to bypass location restrictions, and things of that nature. What really needs to be hashed out, though, is the prerequisites / dependencies of the plugin. That would dramatically reduce the number of questions. What some seem to be failing to grasp is that not everyone has in-depth knowledge, nor wants in-depth knowledge of the XBMC internals, how Hulu itself works, rtmpdump, et cetera. They just want to be able to use it to its fullest, and I think that is just fine. Also, not everyone has been here since the beginning of the thread. Most of what has been posted in the last 88 pages is completely irrelevant for the current iteration of the plugin. It's an ongoing process, I realize, but any semblance of support is going to continue to be an exercise in frustration and futility if people aren't fully aware of the things the plugin depends on.
Here's a starting point...
Hulu Plugin Prerequisites:
1. It is highly recommended that you are running Eden.
2. You need to have librtmp version 2.4.
a. For Windows, here's where / how you get it: [url goes here]
b. For Apple TV, here's where / how you get it: [url goes here]
c. For XBMC Live / Ubuntu / Debian:
Try this
3. If you are not in the United States, all bets are off. You can attempt to use proxies at your own risk. If you do, you may need to change the preroll ads to 0, set the CDN to a specific carrier, or it may not work at all.
#2 is the hardest part to deal with. I don't know where to get it for Windows, because I haven't looked. Same thing for Apple TV. Having that information available in a single location, however, would be a great jumping-off point for end-users, and would save a lot of headaches in this thread.
I think this is very valuable information, and would help everyone in the thread, Bluecop included. He wouldn't need to waste his time helping people with the simplest of dependencies, and his stress level will go down. It's all fun and games for people to get riled up about things, until they burst a vein, and end up in the hospital. Then, where would the community be? Without a Hulu plugin, and nobody wants that.
We're all on the same team. Everyone needs to take a step back, stop acting like jerks (myself included), and work toward the common goal of making things as easily accessible as possible for all users.
