If I try to add a new show it says it was added successfully but never ends up in subscriptions. Any help would be great. Thanks!

I also ran into this issue. I have a ton of subscriptions (196 right now) and not all of them show up under the addon (only 128). So i went to the website to confirm the shows were in my favorites, and they are. So then i checked how the addon gets the list of your subscriptions. In your log you should see the following lines when you open the subscriptions folder in the addon (with xxxxxx replaced by your id of course):

20:34:29 T:3480 NOTICE: HULU--> common.args.mode -- > Subscriptions
20:34:29 T:3480 NOTICE: HULU --> common :: getFEED :: url = http: //m.hulu.com/menu/hd_user_subscriptions?dp_id=hulu&limit=2000&package_id=1&user_id=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

If you go to that url in your browser youre met with a lengthy xml file, which for me i had to copy and paste in order to search it, but at the bottom you should see <count>###</count> which is the total number of shows its listing. For me that number is 128, the same as the number of shows the addon fetches. So it seems to be an issue with the url the addon is using or possibly something on Hulu's end.
So I guess you can't have more subs. Right now I have a couple hulu accounts so I can get more subs. into the library. Totally inconvenient when updating. lol

Actually it seems that you can have more subscriptions, I was making some tests with getFEED parameters...

But to do that you have to modify the url with adding &page=2. I also modified the limit=2000 to limit=128.

For example the below line will show the next 128 subscriptions.
url = http: //m.hulu.com/menu/hd_user_subscriptions?dp_id=hulu&limit=128&page=2&package_id=1&user_id=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

So it would need some coding expert to make this change where you combine initial 128 feeds and then request next 128 subscriptions using page=2 and combine these two. Then we would have 256 show limit. If that is not enough then you can use page=3 and so on...

Thanks! I had no idea how to use the api or whatever, i couldnt find any documentation, i think it may have all been reverse engineered. Using this info i was able to modify the plugin so that it now exports ALL subscriptions, however i couldnt figure out how to add next/previous page options into gui when you view your subscriptions. So it will still show only 128 subscriptions when youre looking at them in the addon, but when you export they are all there.

Do we know what is required to get XBMC's hulu to work with "hulu.jp" ? I would assume some URLs would need to be tweaked.

If you are in japan, just use a proxy or vpn to access the US site. If you want japanese content i think it would require a lot more than changing urls since the entire character set is different.


RE: [SUPPORT] Hulu Video Plugin - lundman - 2013-08-30

I am in japan, and there is a hulu.jp app in the store of course. Android has japanese fonts in it, but sure, there might be some encoding that needs changing. But even if I can't read it, it'd be interesting to check out.

how do watch hulu korean drama with subtitles?


Watched Flag - dCypher - 2013-09-04

Folks, scoured the forums and have had no luck.

How can I have episodes I've watched marked as "Watched" and stay that way? "Watched" episodes seem to lose their tag whenever Hulu updates on XBMC. Please, anyone?

Many thanks

Are you talking about episode in your xbmc library or just within the addon? And when you say when hulu updates do you mean a new version of the addon gets installed or what?


RE: [SUPPORT] Hulu Video Plugin - dCypher - 2013-09-04

Thank you for your reply.

Sorry about that. I am referring to the xbmc library (via Auto Hulu Updater). Does it not operate the same within the add-on itselft (versus the xbmc library)?

Within the addon im pretty sure things being marked as watched would be isolated to just within the addon. I dont see how it could propagate through to the library. And the addon would probably clear it every time you exit it and go back in. But in your library i dont see why items would lose their watched status from hulu updating.

As a control i just tried marking some hulu content as watched in my library, then ran the subscription update, then updated the library. The content is still marked as watched. Can you be more specific about your problem so we can replicate it?


RE: [SUPPORT] Hulu Video Plugin - mourad49 - 2013-09-10

i have hulu addon but subtitles not want work for it, is there any configuration to do for hulu addon so that i can watch series with subtitles?


RE: [SUPPORT] Hulu Video Plugin - SikeMo - 2013-09-11

Does anyone have their library auto-updater working properly? I have to run it for it to work, but the hourly timer has never worked for me.


RE: [SUPPORT] Hulu Video Plugin - matt-tastic - 2013-09-19

OK, so i've searched the last 20 or so pages, looking for answers, and peopel seem to be having other issues than my experience.

I've uninstalled the BlueCop plugin (and deleted it from the add-ons folder)
I've installed the xbmcplus repo and add-on (ver 3.4.8)
I've turned off commercials
I've change the resolution and CND to all 3 options
Win7 x64, XBMC 12.2
I'm using HULU (no sobscription)

I can browse, up until I get to the menu "popular / recently added / TV / Movies / Search"
After that, it will bring up the following menu, but any option on any menu past there results in a "script failed" message

I can search (say "family guy) and it will give me options, but they don't have audio. Limelite CND is the only one that plays video at all.

Pastebin:
http://pastebin.com/0fe0kCWL

any advice or options would be great. all functions work fine via chrome, so I don't think it's related tro a setting outside of XBMC.

Thank you!

I searched for family guy and played the first result without error, try these settings: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=121023&pid=1435089#pid1435089
