[SUPPORT] Hulu Video Plugin

dongdong: there isn't a new context menu. it is already there. i just cleared the default xbmc options to use them for queue and subscription stuff. This is already complete.

I am going to readd add-on setting but I think that is it.

It looks like the script to startup the Hulu library updates conflicts with Weather+ (at least at startup). Using the script and autoexec.py as supplied I would always get an error from the Weather+ plugin at startup. The log file said it couldn't import a needed file because import was locked by something else. If I removed the huluplus startup stuff it works fine.

To get around this, I don't call the script during startup. I instead set an alarm at startup to run the script after 10 mintues. After that it runs every x amount of time based on the script settings. Here's what I added to my autoexec.py:

Code:

xbmc.executebuiltin('AlarmClock(huluupdatelibrary,XBMC.RunScript(script.hululibr​aryautoupdate),10,true)')

I must be going blind as I missed that. lol. Thanks for the help.

I just tested it on free public proxies on the web and a local one running on my pc.

The bbc iplayer add-on has proxy authentication if that helps ...

bluecop: Dont go and work to hard on the dharma problem on my behalf alone. I just installed Eden on an old computer that had xbmc dharma and it seems to work well enough. It accepted all the settings and saved favorites properly. I greatly appreciate your effort. I do feel alot of people are still hanging on to the old dharma waiting for an official release. For what that is worth.
Thank you once again.

Original6ix: upgrade to eden.

apw2607:already committed it.

BlueCop Wrote:mattsidnell: committed 3.0.9 with authenticated proxy support. let me know if you have a problem.

pkscuot: thanks for the info.

I did an update (3.1.1) to allow you to set the default view mode. I also changed a some info-labels.

It is on the per page setting right now. It gives you different media views to default to. I set the media info 2 as the default. You can also disable setting the view all together.

Hey BlueCop the Hulu addon looks nice on my ATV2 but i seem to get a error. All folders will load, and when i play a video the commercial will load and play then i get a popup that says No Video Stream ( SMIL did not contain video links ) and have tried about everything my rookie ass is capable of. I am using Hulu Ver 3.1.2 with 11.0Beta2 on ATV2. I wasn't shur what you wouls need from the log so i just copied it all. Thanks

pbilkow: hulu serves smils without any video links to people who are geoblocked. If you are located outside the US please refer to the FAQ in the first post.

I'd like an option to automatically remove watched episodes from my queue. If you could add this it would be great.

I tried to work out a solution that wouldn't break xbmc built in stop/resume support in Eden. It will add an item in the queue after the main video that will remove the video from the queue. So you will always want to stop the video and not skip forward or else it will prematurely remove it from your queue. this is new in 3.1.5

XBMC stop/resume support works correctly in 3.1.5

Posting to your history is also back in 3.1.5
