Did this. Well, first I found a download for the Hulu addon by itself, and copied it manually into the addons folder. It showed up in Video Addons. Then I did the fix.

Didn't fix it.

IMHO. I would encourage folks to put Hulu to rest and have a look at Moneymaker's USTV Vod addon. As best as I can tell, no one is doing any current development on the Hulu addon and most likely won't be. As a sometimes dev, I'm really hard pressed to invest anymore time on Hulu. The USTV Vod addon has most of the current TV videos more quickly than Hulu and is in 720 HD for a lot of the current videos. You would be far better off requesting whatever you find missing to be included in the new addon. They've done a brilliant job on the HD stuff which is available from network websites.

The rest of this is likely to irritate folks who love Hulu, skip it if you're one of them.

Taking a step back and looking at where Hulu is and seems to be going, I don't think that they have a particular ax to grind with XBMC. I think that they are really struggling for revenue growth with their business model. Much of the technical change we saw disrupting the Hulu addon came about with the fairly recent change in management at Hulu. It would appear that their current focus is on revenue protection, as opposed to revenue growth. Anyone who has been involved in these businesses will recognize a general pattern of either management not understanding how to grow the business, as a prelude to a large expansion or more commonly these days, both. The pattern that seems to be emerging is that paid subscriptions aren't growing at the rate desired, so let's focus on protecting (and possibly expanding) advertising revenue. That sort of makes sense, except (if you believe some public sources) general free viewership is down fairly substantially at Hulu. This, coupled with fighting and disagreement between shareholders, tends to make one think that having a working XBMC addon for Hulu isn't a top-of-the-plate priority for Hulu management - anymore than Hulu messing around trying to make the current addon not work should be.

Realistically, it's going to be hard going for Hulu as long as their past and present shareholders provide HD videos for free and in a more timely manner than Hulu does. It would be interesting if the USTV Vod addon created a feature using a subscription and queue mechanism similiar to Hulu to provide updates - shouldn't be too hard given that most of the common content is managed by thePlatform.com.

I found a software can download hulu video, but I can not figure it out how it can download. You can download here http://download.cnet.com/Hulu-Downloader...13914.html. The company maybe maintenance the librtmp to download the video. But I don't know how to fix it.

What if we adapted the chrome launcher to display the hulu library, but launch the links in hulu's popout mode? This would give the integrated experience while also adapting to the content providers' requirement that we watch "online."

Here is an example link for hulu's popout player: http://www.hulu.com/stand_alone/20087723...us_play=on

For those of you still looking for a leanback Hulu experience from within XBMC, there are still a few options left. Each of them uses the Hulu desktop interface:

Option 1 - Install Chrome Launcher from https://github.com/AddonScriptorDE/repos...master.zip

Then add http://download.hulu.com/huludesktop.swf as a URL.

Advantages - Quick and Easy setup in XBMC, no additional downloads required
Drawbacks - You will have to press Enter twice and the site always starts with movie trailers. You have to login every time to bring up your own Hulu profile.

Option 2 - Install Advanced Launcher from https://github.com/Angelscry/plugin.prog...master.zip

Then, download one of the Hulu Desktop apps, depending upon your O.S.:

http://download.hulu.com/huludesktop_i386.deb
http://download.hulu.com/HuluDesktopSetup.exe
http://download.hulu.com/HuluDesktop.dmg

The above links are case-sensitive, but you should be able to click on them.

Note: the Debian version requires some manual tweaking, among which is opening the hidden file .huludesktop and telling the app where to find libflashplugin. You can point it to the Firefox plugin, that will work fine. Also, the correct screen dimensions have to be set for 1st time start up or the app will self-destruct as it tries to open. Mainly, the width and height need to correspond to the dimensions of your desktop.

Note: the Windows version will be installed in a hidden location, something like %username%\Local Settings\Application Data\... etc.

Once the app has been installed on your desktop, then use Advanced Launcher inside XBMC and add the Hulu app so it can be opened from within XBMC.

Advantages: You only have to press Enter once, to acknowledge that support for Hulu Desktop has been discontinued. From that point, you can login for the first time and let the app store your credentials. The app is keyboard driven and fun to use.

Drawbacks: XBMC is still running in the background, so Hulu Desktop may be starved for resources, depending on your onboard RAM.

Option 3 - There are several more complex solutions, such as defining an external player, which are covered in these threads. It is possible to write a script to shutdiwn XBMC as Hulu Desktop launches, and then to restart XBMC after Hulu Desktop ends.

In closing, there is one more URL which some of you may find interesting: http://www.hulu.com/site-player/player.swf

The above is apparently the base URL for the normal Hulu web interface, and could possibly be used in some of these alternate solutions.

This post is admittedly "breezy" as I cannot go into all the little details of how to do everything. Hopefully, it will give you enough to get started on while we all wait with baited breath for librtmp to decode encrypted Hulu streans for the Hulu Video Plugin,

Special thanks to learningit, moneymaker365, and others who have contributed to this project!

I'm going with options 4 and 5.

Option 4 - PlayOn
Option 5 - Various addons not allowed to be discussed here.

The option I'm going with is my own here for now.. I'm in OS X and I use the mira launching software to launch Hulu Desktop separate from XBMC and use my Apple remote with it. I started using Mira because my iMac didn't come with a built in IR receiver so it was nessasary to use my Apple remote again and I found it has great launching capabilities. http://twistedmelon.com/mira/

You mean like in this very thread by me? Yes, in January they are dropping support for it so it might break at any time after that. For now though it works.... and it has months.. vs. the DAYS or HOURS we had with the Hulu Plugin fixes lately. Smile But that's why I say "for now". If\when it stops working and by that time there's no fix for the Hulu plugin or a new Hulu+ plugin I'm dropping my Hulu subscription. Smile

I'm referring to this post: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1696770 In the previous page where I mentioned it. I specifically said, IN THIS THREAD. Hell if I know if you read that or the article you linked to first. You weren't very specific... Also others have mentioned it as well..
