Ok, I got further this time... - angrycamel - 2008-12-19

Well I got the networking issue worked out. Not sure what was going on, but I just retyped all of my static settings again and it worked.

Now I am still unable to play a 30 rock episode that RWParris2 said he could do.

Here is my debug log: (Looks like it can't see r.hulu.com) I get a 404 when I load r.hulu.com on my pc too. Does that help?

It throws a 404 if accessed directly, but it dns lookup on it works fine.

Ignore trying to goto it directly. You are still having DNS issues. Try some other DNS IPs such as 4.2.2.2 or 4.2.2.1.

- mique - 2008-12-19

@ reparris2

I am in USA
All the menu tv programs that I can see all navigate to the episode to play but when requested to play, nothing happens.
If I can give you more information please let me know.

I got 30 Rock playing - angrycamel - 2008-12-19

Ya, I noticed that when I pinged it.

tslayer Wrote:Try some other DNS IPs such as 4.2.2.2 or 4.2.2.1.
Thanks for the tip. I had the DNS address set to my router's address which is a Verizon Fios supplied router, so maybe that thing has some issues.

After trying with the DSN IP you gave (4.2.2.2), it worked perfectly.

Thanks for the tip!

Thanks for posting that RTMP build, man.

This plugin is working great! I'm using the modified script with all the movies and shows, and I really haven't found anything that hasn't worked yet. Is someone working on a scraper for this? It would be awesome to integrate library support.

Anyway, nice job!

Building isn't so hard, you just download some stuff, click a bat file, and poof you've got a nice xbmc.rar
zoltar12 should get all the credit here as he's the one who made the patch.

I'm working on a scraper for the plugin itself when I have time (actually I've got all the code I just have to port it to something xbmc likes) but it won't be added to the library until someone makes the library compatible with launching python.

Here is my idea of how to handle it:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=34443 + http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/5442

Glad it is working for someone.

@mique will Family Guy play? Family Guy should play no matter what, if it doesn't you've problems beyond what the patch fixes.

@zoltar12:
would you mind explaining how that patch works? I swear it looks like all it does is cut the string off at the ';' but obviously there is something more to it...

- mique - 2008-12-20

@ rwparris2

No, Family Guy will not Play.

Let's make sure my set up is correct, I loaded your patched xbmc to my Xbox. I have installed the Hulu Plugin which I activate to get to all the menu's. I see all the choices but for some reason nothing plays. I get nothing, so I press select again and get the following error box "Playlist Playback Aborted, To Many Consecutive Fake Items"
Does this shed some light?
Cheers

Can you turn on debug logging in the control panel and try again? Once you do, grab the xbmc.log that gets created by FTP'ing to your xbox. Its in the root of your XBMC folder.

You must turn on debug logging then try the hulu scriupt again so that it will write the errors into the log. Then just paste the pertinent log contents here in a code block for us to check out.

- mique - 2008-12-20

OK - Debug Log is activated.

How do I paste in a 'code Block'

Thanks

You can either use a paste site like http://pastebin.ca/ or http://nopaste.com
Or you can paste the contents into the reply box, highlight it, and click the hash symbol in the forum's toolbar. It looks like a #.
It will insert [ CODE ] [ / CODE] around whatever you've highlighted.

You can use the preview button to make sure it looks right. If it complains about it being too long, just use one of the paste sites.

In all honesty I have to ask about Boxee. How come XBMC can't use Boxee's Hulu code? Are they taking from XBMC and not giving back?

- jmarshall - 2008-12-20

The code is available for most of what is required (and the rest of it is just 2 executables which may or may not become available separately). I'm not sure what it offers above what this plugin offers though.

In any case, it's US only pretty much, and as most of our developers are outside of the US, we're not all that interested in it!

Cheers,
Jonathan
