[RELEASE] Hulu (Video) Plugin

PsyberS Wrote:I'm wondering what sort of problems you had that made you recompile gnash from source. I installed the updated plugin on Boxee/Ubuntu 8.10 with gnash installed from the ubuntu package. It seems to work, except for the fact I have no sound!

Was this the same problem you ran into?

no, i couldn't get it to work at all on ubuntu 8.04 32bit so before giving up i decided to compile it from source, i got the newest version of gnash and did apt-get build-dep gnash then tried to compile it, still got an error but luckily the error told me the exact packages i needed, i downloaded them all (except something called ming which i didn't get) and then i tried again, this time it worked and i've been using hulu all night

I've been unable to get it to work on Windows. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or what.

i read somewhere that someone is trying to use webkit to get things working.

This should make it work on all systems

Hi rwparris2,

Sorry for asking but I just want to be sure I understood you first message: the current version in xbmc-addons is the one working on Xbox or it is the one needing gnash (which does not work on XBOX)?
Or now since changes on Hulu, Hulin plugin cannot work without gnash and consequently on Xbox?
Thanks for answering and great job, even thus I cannot enjoy it being outside US

The one in SVN does require gnash. Updated 1st post to make it more clear.
Anything else that is unclear feel free to ask about, I'm not the best writer/speaker in the world

hi
can i use this plugin outside us? (ip check disabled)

thanks for the update and thread split. was too confusing before. now I got my answer as to the status of hulu on xbox classic.

Where did you read that?

Plex currently uses the webkit framework to get hulu content by cropping out just the hulu player so it's definitely possible, and should be approached by devs who know how to do such a thing, but I haven't actually read that anyone is trying it unfortunately.

There is no way that I know of to disable the IP Check, can you elaborate on what you mean by 'ip check disabled' ?

RWP -- re: gnash working on Mac OS X, yes, it does. I followed the instructions listed here:
