I am running the latest T3CH build, and can seem to get this "close" to working for Hulu. It comes through, but then either quits, or is erratic, etc.
I was wondering if I need to "dumb down" the Xbox to get more free memory, as it seems as if (though I have enough bandwidth , more than!) I am running low on memory or it cant handle th caching. The PC has 1gb
Other thought is...does the PC video card come into play, if I am using the Xbox? This PC has a pretty old video card, but I figured that won't matter, since I am just streaming to the Xbox.
EDIT: Forget it, I switched to Hulu plugin. Working like a champ! ...but hopefully I have more luck with this and Netflix! Haven't tried that yet.

I'm trying to view netflix on atv using PlayOn, the problem is a lot of buffering.
I may get 30sec of smooth playback followed by stuttering and thing buffering again.
PlayOn is on my Laptop running vista, connected wirelessly to my network, and the atv is connected via ethernet to the router.
Should I adjust cache settings? Anybody have netflix running well?
Thanks

I had this same problem. I think this is why Boxee did not offer Netflix for aTv during the last update. Netflix said there was a processor issue with the aTv.

ssh in a view the cpu usage using "top". if up at 80-90 percent for xbmc, you are saturated and need to drop the transcoded profile/bit-rate/size.

Nice finding this little software. Wish I had a 360 to make it work now. Hulu on the xbox would be a big lift in the television department. In fact, I'm going to hulu.com now after this posting cause they got classics. By the way, you shouldn't request that with playon, you should make that request in Voinages plugins. Since it already shows playlists and video files and sizes, it should be just a few lines of code to get it working. Look for Voinages forum and leave a post. Maybe he can help make it work.

Does PlayOn have any HD content? (from Hulu, etc)

Hi, I got tihs up and running, but (sorry I haven't read through this entire thread) but everytime I try to play a hulu vid, I get the "too many consecutive errors" and no playback.
EDIT: I just tried it on my windows pc, and with no luck either. I can't play hulu vids through this, but I can play all the other PlayOn services (CNN, CBS, and so on)
EDIT: ok by increasing the cache to maximum and increasing the event servers continuous repeat delay, I got it to work on the xbox, but the video will only play for about 10-20 seconds, then revert to the menu. Any ideas?

I just set the consecutive repeat delay to 2500ms, and when I click on a Hulu video to play, I wait about 5 seconds then hit the button again. Seems to work ok.
I'm also running this on the same linux machine that XBMC is on by using VMware server, but I also got it to work by using a PC on the same network.
