[RELEASE] Hulu (Video) Plugin for XBMC - Page 59

Oh - definitely wait!

I imagine a good solution will be implemented in the main script at some point. For maximum compatibility with all platforms and the X-box, we might need to host the wrapper swf file somewhere and just let the XBMC Hulu script perform one more call to that wrapper, the hosted wrapper can access it's own local copy of the sec.swf file to actually perform the decryption. That might be a fair amount of processing though, depending on how popular it is. Plus, I don't know about the legality of hosting that.

The best solution would be if some actionscript wizard could figure out the real encryption method, then just implement that in python.

It isn't working for me. I am sure I am passing the decrypted pid. I am not sure if I have a good enough version of xbmc to run the hulu plugin. The version that I am using is the one in the ubuntu PPA. Can someone tell me how to easily determine if I have RTMP support or install a version on ubuntu rather easily that has RTMP support?
Maybe people can tell me if I am on the right path, I am getting this as my url for Heroes

I've uploaded a "dirty" patch to rwparris2's Hulu plugin, which decrypts the PID and restores functionality for the time being. You can grab it from here if you're interested.

EDIT: You can download the patched plugin from here.

EDIT2: rwparris2 is the author of the Hulu plugin (and many other awesome plugins), not me, so please direct all praise his way.

Hey, I've got it running right now on the Xbox. Awesome job so far guys! I had some errors when ftping it so I used the file manager in XBMC to bring it over. Otherwise, not bad.

Awesome work! Re-implementing the decryption in Python is about the best fix we could hope for!

For now, yes. However every time Hulu puts out a newer version of sec.swf we will have to race to get it ported and distributed. It would be much better to actually just run the sec.swf (in a wrapper) by downloading it directly from the Hulu site in XBMC. This is what rectalogic is working on testing out with gnash.

Any progress on that rectalogic?

d4rk's fix works for me. I guess by 'dirty' he is refering to the errors I seem to get when running the plugin. When initially starting the plugin and subsequently every link you click after you get the error: "Python script failed: special://home/plugins/video/Hulu/default.py" but the end result is still a playable show or movie. Thanks d4rk!

On Mac OS 10.5.6, I get a hang and require a force quit -- nothing in the log.
