[SUPPORT] Hulu Video Plugin

i only had the problem of it only playing only commercials when i updated librtmp. I went back to old version and had no more problems

Hello!
This is my first post on this from. It´s nice to meet you all!
I´ve just started using XBMC and it´s an amazing software. I don´t know why the hell people compare it to plex. It´s much better.
Everything works fine except the Hulu Plug in. I´m having the same issue as other users. Looping ads. Over and over and over and over again. I just can´t see the main stream. Ever.
I´ve spent hours trying every single conguration and nothing.
When I go to Now Playing and I locate the show stream, sometimes it plays, but the majority of time just play the AD!
I was wondering if anyone could give me any advice on this.
What about this updated librtmp? Is this a fix?
Thanks!

Is anyone else having issues with the repository not loading?

Hi there - I have been successfully running Hulu and 1Channel on my atv2 with 11.0 for a few month without any problems (except my own inept installation issues in the beginning). Now, randomly, I am getting the "one or more items failed to play. Check the log file for details" pop up every time I try to load any videos. (I recently installed a nightly build and rebooted - maybe I screwed something up there?) I've looked through other people's responses, but can't seem to find a common theme.

Here is my log file:

Sorry if it is terribly long, as I wasn't sure what the *important* part is.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

@ laraelise -
i think you may have found the same thing that I did.
The latest nightly builds do not seem to have the "correct" librtmp file.
so, like we had to do back when Crawl found this out...
as long as you are going to use the nightlies, you will have to do this everytime!

I've asked the Dev's about it... but they are mute as this is seemingly outside their scope. whoever handles the librtmp needs to put out the correct version. problem is... I'm not sure if anyone knows where this version is coming from... or why it works.... :-?

Hi,

Please don't blame the Devs in this case. They are doing nothing wrong. And the problem certainly isn't outside of their scope. They simply can't standardize a single version of librtmp that works on all devices. That's just not possible right now.

The problem is that because the librtmp file is OS dependent, a different version is required for different devices. The librtmp file that works on iOS devices like ATV2, iPad, iPhone, will not work on other devices like a Windows computer, or an OS X computer. In the same way that there's a different version of Java for Windows, OS X, etc. So there is not a "Correct" version so to speak that works for everyone. There are several versions made for each different applicable OS.

XBMC is amazingly diverse, in that it works on a whole host of different devices running different OSes. But there are still some minor aspects of XBMC like this, that must be platform dependent. There's no easy way around it. I doubt that it will be this way forever. The Devs are brilliant, and I have no doubt they will provide a better solution in the future when it's possible. They have standardized an amazing amount of XBMC behind the scenes already. Please be patient with this one little aspect, until a better solution is available. Somebody will always have a fix for you here on the forums. Take advantage of it.

Hope that explains things.

@ Crawl

well put. i meant no disrespect to the Devs. this is by far (for me) the software of the decade! i use it religiously.
When i said "out of their scope" i was referring to exactly what you said regarding that it's not standardized. please excuse my brevity in trying to shed light on the situation

Thanks again for the explanation. You have very eloquently stated the situation. I think your post should be starred or pinned, or something.

well done, my good sir.

Will this Hulu pluggin work for xbmc4xbox? Original xbox console not 360.

Thanks

XBOX is no longer supported here, but you check or ask over at: http://xbmc4xbox.org.uk

Hello,

First of all, thank you very much for all your hard work about the plugin...It's amazing the ability to launch all kind of streaming media within XBMC!

I've been using this plugin in my Mid 2010 iMac, and it worked as charm, very snappy and so on...

But I can't watch Netflix from iMac (using a remote, I mean), so I moved all streaming plugins to my ATV2 with XBMC, and then I faced an annoying issue with Hulu plugin...I can stream content well with my Hulu Plus account (I updated rtmplib and so on), but it takes ages in the "Opening Streaming" window. I measured it last time, and I was 120 secs waiting in "Opening Streaming" window before stream content finally started.

I don't think it's a matter with bandwidth, because once started, playback is very good...

I downloaded xbmc.log and I realized XBMC took this 120 secs in...getting CC! Weird...In my iMac it takes only two seconds, but in ATV2 it takes so much longer..

Here is a glimpse of my xbmc.log, I can provide full log if needed:

xbmc.log


I need CC because english isn't my native tongue..So subtitles are a must for me..

How can I proceed?

I've tried nightly from 12.0-alpha branch but is a no-go (I can't even get it to load properly).

Any thoughts are welcomed..

Thank you very much!
