Are you able to get debug logs from the xbox for failures on the other menus? I've just pushed a minor update, the biggest problem I'm running into is unicode characters in the name and description text.

I should note that I'm not deeply familiar with XBMC or its plugin framework, I've merely been fixing obvious parsing problems in the old hulu scripts, picking up where the original authors left off without really understanding their original design intentions. Is there any reason to even be extracting the description, airdate, and duration for these shows? They're never displayed for me, using the default skin. Are there other skins where this info actually shows up?

without really understanding their original design intentions

wtf are design intentions

I kid, I kid. IIRC description airdate & duration show on the OSD when the video is actually in play, but not when the list is made. Or something, I can't really remember.

EDIT: Now that I think about it, I believe there was a setting for retrieving that information, as it slowed down browsing too much.

The point I wanted to make is that it was just sort of put together instead of thought out and written well. I was rewriting the whole thing when Hulu blocked us out, but hadn't gotten far enough along to put it in a vcs... and of course the code is lost now.
