Hulu plugin simply stopped working - error getting file name Hello! I have been using FRD happily for a while now and I found it particularly useful for downloading from Hulu with subtitles. Never had any problems and it worked fine from the start. Now, for no apparent reason whenever I try to download from Hulu I get the error "error getting file name" I've restarted the computer, deleted and re-installed FRD to no avail. FRD version 0.9u3 plugin version 1.4.1 java version 7.51 (I think?) Windows 7 64 bit hulu.com problem url log attached I did recently switch from comcast to verizon for my ISP if that makes a difference. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated since I have loved the program!

Please try Hulu plugin v1.4.2.

I notice that Hulu manages to detect Tor proxy at higher rate than 2-3 weeks ago.]]> tong2shot FreeRapid Downloader - Plugins Wed, 19 Feb 2014 10:40:03 +0000 https://wordrider.net/forum/10/13738/13816/_subject_#msg-13816 Re: Hulu plugin simply stopped working - error getting file name https://wordrider.net/forum/10/13738/13816/_subject_#msg-13816 -------------------------------------------------------

There no longer is a Java preference app. see [support.apple.com].

However I did everything again.

I downloaded the java 7 jdk and installed it.

Java -version in the terminal still output java 6.
I found this webpage. : www.monkehworks.com
which I followed to set java 7 as the default. Typing Java -version n the terminal window now gives me:

java version "1.7.0_51"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_51-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.51-b03, mixed mode)

So I noticed that FRD installed 1.6.0.jdk into /system/library/java/javavirtualmachines
deleting this just prompts FRD to install it again (is this supposed to happen?)

Java 7 installs jdk1.7.0_51.jdk into /library/java/javavirtualmachines

However java 7 is my default version (see above)

I'm wondering if hulu changed something too, because a couple days ago there was an java error on hulu website, and when I emailed hulu support, they said there was a "java script outage", maybe they were changing something?

So I'm at my limits for trouble shooting Java. I don't program. I'm pretty good at googling, and this all started happening with the latest hulu plugin update. It works on my windows machine, however, my mac is my main computer and I'd like to get it fixed if possible. I don't know if anyone else is having this problem, or if I have a "special" problem, lol. Thanks for any advice.

so hulu changed something? Thanks

I think Hulu changed something, since none of the usual plug-ins can grab the video either. Flash Video Downloader 5.3.2 can't grab the episode, nor can UnPlug or FlashGot with DownThemAll installed.]]> slickrcbd FreeRapid Downloader - Plugins Tue, 18 Feb 2014 23:32:04 +0000 https://wordrider.net/forum/10/13738/13811/_subject_#msg-13811 Re: Hulu plugin simply stopped working - error getting file name https://wordrider.net/forum/10/13738/13811/_subject_#msg-13811 stackoverflow.com]

After installing, read the JDK for Mac ReadMe. Most importantly, if you want Java 7 to be the default, drag it to the top of the list in the Java Preferences app found in your Utilities folder.

Have you tried this already?]]> ntoskrnl FreeRapid Downloader - Plugins Tue, 18 Feb 2014 14:43:02 +0000 https://wordrider.net/forum/10/13738/13801/_subject_#msg-13801 Re: Hulu plugin simply stopped working - error getting file name https://wordrider.net/forum/10/13738/13801/_subject_#msg-13801
Thanks for your help

edit: made sure all traces of java 6 were removed, java 7 installed, could not get FRD to start. Just went back to java 6 for mac and just will not update the hulu plugin. so far that's the only solution that works. I will keep an eye on the forums if there is any other ideas I could try in the future to get it to work with java 7

Thanks for all the help.]]> ladyace FreeRapid Downloader - Plugins Tue, 18 Feb 2014 01:08:54 +0000 https://wordrider.net/forum/10/13738/13799/_subject_#msg-13799 Re: Hulu plugin simply stopped working - error getting file name https://wordrider.net/forum/10/13738/13799/_subject_#msg-13799
The original poster had both Java 6 and 7 installed, and his system defaulted to launch Java applications like FRD with Java 6. It's also entirely possible that the browser plugin uses a different Java version than Java applications.

Please make sure you only have Java 7 installed and no other versions.

If this turns out to be impossible for some reason, you could edit frd.bat (Windows) or frd.sh (Linux) to point to the full path of Java 7 and launch FRD through that. I'm not sure if the OS X package includes frd.sh.]]> ntoskrnl FreeRapid Downloader - Plugins Mon, 17 Feb 2014 23:32:31 +0000 https://wordrider.net/forum/10/13738/13798/_subject_#msg-13798 Re: Hulu plugin simply stopped working - error getting file name https://wordrider.net/forum/10/13738/13798/_subject_#msg-13798

So i did update to java 7 and attached is the log, still the same error. did I miss anything? Java website says i have "recommended Java installed (Version 7 Update 51)"

Thank you]]> ladyace FreeRapid Downloader - Plugins Mon, 17 Feb 2014 22:59:32 +0000 https://wordrider.net/forum/10/13738/13797/_subject_#msg-13797 Re: Hulu plugin simply stopped working - error getting file name https://wordrider.net/forum/10/13738/13797/_subject_#msg-13797 ntoskrnl FreeRapid Downloader - Plugins Mon, 17 Feb 2014 13:43:52 +0000 https://wordrider.net/forum/10/13738/13796/_subject_#msg-13796 Re: Hulu plugin simply stopped working - error getting file name https://wordrider.net/forum/10/13738/13796/_subject_#msg-13796
It says error getting file name,

I have mac os x mavericks

I did everything with Java: installed java 7, uninstalled java 7 and reverted back to the mac java 6 and nothing helped.

I reinstalled frd and wiped out the plugins, and didn't update the hulu plugin and it works, so the problem seems to be with the new plugin.

this happens with every hulu weblink [www.hulu.com]

I attached my log. I hope you can help. Thanks!

Now, for no apparent reason whenever I try to download from Hulu I get the error "error getting file name"

I've restarted the computer, deleted and re-installed FRD to no avail.

FRD version 0.9u3
plugin version 1.4.1
java version 7.51 (I think?)
Windows 7 64 bit
hulu.com problem url
log attached

I did recently switch from comcast to verizon for my ISP if that makes a difference.

Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated since I have loved the program!
