Hello,
is the hulu plugin supposed to work using VPN connections?
I am outside the US and subscribed a VPN service.
I am able to establish the VPN connection and everything works. On the same connection, Hulu works on my desktop computer.
But my XBMC (openelec) Hulu plugin throws a timeout error whenever I start a stream:
Both official and beta version have the same behaviour. Note that everything was working fine using a DNS tunnelling service (tunlr). Unfortunately, I am not able to use that service any longer (for various reasons) and was forced to use a VPN.
Any idea or help is much appreciated.
