(Excuse if this somehow double-posts. I thought I posted last night, but don't see my submission here or in any other search reesult).
I've been using Bluecop's Hulu with a free account for at least two years across Eden and Frodo. Never had problems.
It stopped working in last week. Login/queue is fine but playback just starts buffering forever a few seconds in.
Here's where it gets interesting....
At work yesterday I grabbed Gotham 13.0 beta 1 and the Hulu Beta. This combination worked just fine on a laptop
Went home and updated my HTPC with the same. No workie.
Fired up laptop at home. No workie.
So...I disconnected laptop from home network and used a 4GLTE cell connection. Works just fine.
Revert to home network connection changing nothing elsee and again fail.
Home internet is Fios and I'm US based.
Restarting router/modem/etc do not resolve.
I see only two explanations;
--- Either Hulu is somehow blocking my IP (any record of this happening to anyone?)
--- Or Fios is somehow blocking the stream (though Hulu streams fine via browser).
Here is my log from a "failed" playback. It looks like it tries to get more data and just never receives?

Very interesting!!
