[SUPPORT] Hulu Video Plugin

easelpad Wrote:Bluecop - I'm running the current firecore eden and current XBMC, current hulu plugin. when I try to access content on hulu today it loads the 7 second "commercial content brought to you by" promo, then loads a menu to pick 'quality' all tagged with akamai then never loads the show of choice - goes immediately back to the episodes menu.

The hulu plug in has not worked since the last firecore update. suggestions please. thanks.

Turn off network pre roll.

Thank you.

Can you (or someone) elaborate on the library integration? I have seen other posts about the other add-on called XBMC.MyLibrary, but haven't used it since I don't have a PC that's always on.

Does the Hulu add on now allow some sort of library integration on its own? I see the Export to Library tab in the settings, but I'm not sure how to use this.

Thanks!

There's information here on the library integration.

First I would like to give a big thanks to BlueCop and team for their great plugins. I have "dabbled" with XBMC before but have been using boxee primarily on my HTPC. Since us HTPC folks got dumped by boxee a couple of months ago, I have come back to XBMC and am loving it. Wish I would have been using it all along. Now to my issue...
I have the Hulu addon installed and running properly. I have turned on the library integration with episodes dumping to the default folder. The XBMC Library Auto Update addon is installed and set to scan for videos every 2 hours. The initial import worked as expected and pulled in all of my queue/favorites. I also installed the Auto Update Hulu Library script using this link. Upon installation of the hulu library auto update script, it immediately updated the addon. No big deal. I set the auto update interval to 1 hour for both my queue and favorites and shut down XBMC. Per the script instructions, I copied the "autoexec.py" file to the ".../Roaming/XBMC/userdata" folder. I then restarted XBMC and waited for the initial library scan to complete. I then went to Hulu and added a show (with all episodes) to my Favorites. After leaving XBMC running for several hours (4 in one case), the new shows were not showing up. If I restart XBMC, the initial scan finds the new shows and adds them to the library. Also, I have tried uninstalling the Hulu Library Auto Update script and reinstalling from the repo. That didn't seem to help. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why the auto updating isn't working? Let me know if you any additional info on my setup. Thanks.

I cant seem to get this to work properly, it just repeats different commercial blocks for about 5 mins then says something like 'unable to find next steam'.

Heres some logs i made from when I try to start the plugin to when it finally says unable to find next

This last one I was actually able to take note of when the commercial resets
13:54:05 - preased play
13:54:20 - commercial starts playing
13:55:48 - commercial pause's
13:55:53 - commercial resets to new commercial block
13:56:26 - commercial pause's
13:56:38 - commercial resets to new commercial block


I dont understand why Hulu makes it so difficult to use Hulu outside their site, if more people are using their streams and watching their commercials, then dont they make more money?

EDIT:
I think this line is my problem
3:54:10 T:2929908592 WARNING: CreateLoader - Unsupported protocol(rtmpe) in rtmpe://hulu-767.fcod.llnwd.net/<snip>
13:54:10 T:2929908592 ERROR: CDVDPlayer::OpenInputStream - error opening [rtmpe://hulu-767.fcod.llnwd.net/<snip>

I think it might be because I compiled xbmc without rtmpdump installed, retrying it now

EDIT2:
Well i now have xbmc compiled with rtmp support but now my logs say

EDIT3:
compiled latest rtmpdump from git, then replaced librtmp, working great so far

Thanks, who would have thought to look at the first post? (In case my sarcasm wasn't clear, I meant it was stupid of me not to check there!)

So I need to set up a Hulu login to use these features, correct? That might explain why I was having trouble. I haven't set one up yet.

Thanks again!

Turned off network pre-roll AND commercials.

When I try to load an episode it gives me a streaming message and even with ore-roll off loads and commercial (about 8 seconds) and then drops back to the episode menu - this time with the preroll commercial listed with a check next to it.

This has been going on for a while as I previously posted. All software is up to date and I just loaded atv flash black 1.4 - which did not load a new xbmc.

Suggestions? Thx

I suggest that you post logs...

I would love to use real-debrid with this plugin. Will it ever happen?

My bet would be probably not. Some very simple proxy options were added just so people didn't have to pay for basically a free service, but this addon is focused on playing Hulu content for people in a country (I think just the US) in which Hulu can distribute content. It also looks like real-debrid is designed to download files, and this addon doesn't actually download anything. It just plays streams.
