Second, check if your gnash is able to decode a sample pid directly:

Per the logs: Nothing screams to me "I'm the issue" . Seems to be rather chatty about ThumbsShaddow2.png for some reason, I've searched and this file doesn't exist on my machine... root cause or red haring?

Per the decoding: seems to work

Code:

pruper1@main:~$ gnash --render-mode 0 --once --verbose --param FlashVars=pid=dd4e9942974869f0cac12ab9ce815da9af6f8486a433a84bda842dae193457f9~1​6aa98d95559f7db192bb69972ffc6578e87c22f6bc8eafc8a4c76b924b9800f ~/.xbmc/plugins/video/Hulu/resources/lib/DecryptPid.swf

Everything is working and it's decrypting the pid and extracting the rtmp URL and connecting to it, but the FMS server is rejecting it with NetConnection.Connect.Rejected, [ AccessManager.Reject ] : Access denied!

What version of XBMC? It at least needs to have this patch incorporated:

AHA!

Yeah, likely my issue thanks for helping anyway (I suspected it was stupid user error). I'm running the 8.10 release, not any of the SVN builds since... The version listed is SVN:16164 (Nov 14 2008)... that ticket says it was added 16205...either I gotta man up & use a pre-release or just wait 2 months ;-)

Congrats on the updated plugin though, keep up the great work... Here's hoping Hulu wises up & stops fighting it's users.

I have been following this thread for quite some time and now am a little lost! I use xbox1 with xbmc, latest svn. Can we xbox/xbmc users use a plugin to get HULU to work now, after all the hard work that has been done, I just can not find that answer. If we can is there a quick guide on where the plugin is and if we need anything else to get it to work?
Sorry if it is obvious and I missed it and thanks to all who help sort this out.
One last comment, I think HULU would not fight us if the adverts we not removed when viewing! that is how they make there money.

Correct me if I'm wrong, anyone - I don't think there's a way to view Hulu on XBox right now, because the latest working plugin uses Gnash which won't run on an XBox.

If Hulu offered to support an ads-enabled plugin, I think a lot of people would be extremely open to it. Hasn't happened though. The opposite has happened.

I honestly think that Hulu is in trouble - obviously the media execs thought that putting media on the web would only enable people to view it on their computer screens. That's clearly not the case, and to their dismay we're doing whatever the hell we want with it, and always will. I wonder if they'll put up with that, since it poses a threat to their outdated, inferior, dying business model that they love so much.

for xbox you can try d4rk's plugin for fancast. It will play hulu and cbs content, no abc or cw right now. I am working on making the show navigation better.

hott198 · 2009-02-22 20:50

with all the plugins in this thread can we get a direct link to d4arks

NPerez · 2009-02-22 20:58

I'm not sure if this is the same plugin that you guys are referring to, but this is Rectalogic's Fancast plugin that he linked to today:
