when I tried to download subtitles today it's giving an error!

URL: [www.hulu.com]

ERROR - subtitle not found

Re: Hulu supported worldwide now.

Plugin v1.3.3 should work for that link.

Suwadith — Tue, 11 Dec 2012 08:02:30 +0000

Well when I tried to download this video's subtitle it says error saving subtitle!

[www.hulu.com]?

I think it's because of the question mark in it!

please fix the issue!

Suwadith — Sat, 08 Dec 2012 18:41:12 +0000

This is working now!

ntoskrnl — Thu, 06 Dec 2012 16:30:24 +0000

That's very odd, I don't know how the icon could have changed like that. Plugin v1.3.2 has the correct icon again.

New FRD is having troubles!
New plugin works fine with the older FRD version fine!
but in the new FRD it picks up hulu URLs as some eU link and it isn't downloading!
Fix it please!

Yes, I agree, your algorithm is better in this case.

As for mapping enums to integer qualities, you can just add a new field to the enum. :-) Example:

Language: Java
public enum VideoQuality {
    _320(320), _480(480), _720(720), _1080(1080);
 
    private final String name;
    private final int height;
 
    private VideoQuality(final int height) {
        this.name = String.valueOf(height) + "p";
        this.height = height;
    }
 
    public int getHeight() {
        return height;
    }
 
    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return name;
    }
}

Highest/lowest available might be a bit problematic though... Lowest can just be 0, but what about highest?

Nice work (tu)

Here is my thought :
1. The prepatch code is heavily derived from youtube plugin algorithm which share same characteristics. The youtube plugin uses 2 criterias (quality and container) and treats quality as flexible points. The example of flexible point in youtube plugin : if streams have video resolutions : 144p, 270p, 3072p, it will work just fine so is the prepatch code, in the patch code we have to enumerate all possible resolutions, it won't work if the streams have video resolutions which are not contain in the enum. The second example : in the patch code we have to introduce 2 different resolutions (400p and 480p) in the same category which is 480p (the 400p is the same category btw, we can check it by the bitrate label). I believe the youtube algorithm is flexible by design, and simply works.

2. If we are going to use just single criteria (quality) and treats quality as fixed/exact/not flexible points, then the algorithms that are use by dailymotion and vimeo is more simple than the patch code's algorithm. And I propose to use bitrate label (as it more stable) instead for internal logic, and keep quality in presentation layer (GUI). So we are going to need another map, to map bitrate label to quality. Note : bitrate label is not the bitrate itself, we can find the bitrate label in the first part of "file-type" param of streams info.

I'll attach the patch of patch maybe later, I don't have time right now.

Here's an attached patch if you want to check it out. Probably not ready for committing but you can see the thing with enums.

Thank you tong for the quality selector.
Huge bandwidth saver :)-D

In this video : [www.hulu.com] , I found h264 and vp6 video format, I haven't tested many videos though.

For me port 80 doesn't work, 1935 does. I'm not sure if it is the same for others. I read a request in a thread months ago (I'm not sure if it was about hulu plugin or other plugin), that someone needs to use port 80 for rtmp, because port 1935 is blocked by his/her office. So the port chooser is just an anticipation for that.

As for cdn, I didn't know if akamai is the default (thanks for the info). So it's ok to remove the option.

Re: Hulu supported worldwide now.

ntoskrnl — Fri, 09 Nov 2012 10:29:53 +0000

Nice work. I also saw your other change about cdn and port options. However, I'm afraid it might be a bit unnecessary. A user will never need to change these settings and they increase code complexity a lot.

I also just finished an improvement which decreases complexity to minimum. I want to show you a nice trick which I found out some time ago -- enums can be directly stored with XMLEncoder and directly used in a JComboBox without manually converting to ints or strings.

I also edited the plugin to only download from Akamai (because that's what the Hulu player applet does unless there's an error) and removed the codec option (I didn't find any videos where the same quality was available in different formats).

Do you think it's OK if we don't have options for cdn or port? The code is getting a bit difficult to read. :-)

Hulu.com plugin v1.3.0 now supports quality and video format chooser :

Enjoy :-)

Well you can't blame them!
If the servers get over loaded automatically PCs get a serious damage!
Poor guys can't afford that!
You can use unblock-us.com there is a small trick to activate every week!
if you are smart think about it!

I'm not saying that Tunlr is a bad service. I think that what those guys offer for free is great. The problem is that I used tunlr moslty for Netflix and that's why I'm dissapointed.

ntoskrnl — Wed, 03 Oct 2012 12:52:34 +0000

How is it unacceptable? Did you agree to some contract when using Tunlr or what? It's a free service.

Re: Hulu supported worldwide now.

Mark1 — Wed, 03 Oct 2012 12:38:41 +0000

I was a happy user of tunlr till yesterday when they decided to stop
support for netflix. I understand them creating limited viewing time for
their users but dropping a service altogether is unacceptable :(

I went back to unotelly (same service but paid) and am happy with
them since. They also have some coupons for users coming from tunlr but I
couldn't make use of it because i already had a year long subscription.
But it might still help some other !
The coupon is: iheartnetflix

1) Tunlr doesn't affect download speeds.
2) Using Tunlr for general browsing will slow down your browsing a lot as described here: [tunlr.net]
3) The plugin automatically doesn't use Tunlr if a proxy is configured.

Re: Hulu supported worldwide now.

Suwadith — Sat, 21 Jul 2012 12:31:55 +0000

Please do this request!
i need a plugin which doesn't have tunlr config inside in it [without in-built]

i have to check speed by adding tunlr into my router settings then checking with a normal plugin!

i mean that this plugin should only support proxies!

There is no such thing as "plugin(s) inside the plugin". Did you mean inside the plugin folder ?

If you think Hulu plugin is not working, then please provide sample links and attach app.log.

For me it's working like a charm.

Well bro you don't even need them!
they are already inside the plugin!
The prob is my PC is missing something important!

Re: Hulu supported worldwide now.

tong2shot — Tue, 17 Jul 2012 11:53:12 +0000

I can confirm that Hulu plugin works just fine. Hulu plugin requires Rtmp and Tunlr plugin.

I cannot give any advice because I have no idea what's going wrong. I can't read minds.

Free downloads work fine, and I can't find your account details in my PMs (please resend).

I hope this will continue!
