Hey all!
First of all, I just read a few pages back (unfortunately, not the whole thread), and I hope that you are felling a lot better, BlueCop, and that you get better soon!
I've been using this plugin since just this weekend and loving it! It's so great that this runs on a browser-less environment unlike "XBMC Flicks", so I'm able to run Hulu on the ATV2 which is a big plus!
A few problems I encountered:
- I did have a few troubles with "librtmp.0.dylib". The one that came with XBMC was, of course, out of date. But as soon as I overwritten with the one a few pages back, XBMC crashed at launch even before showing the GUI. The only one I could find that didn't do that was the one available at SuperTV.
- It seems that I'm having some issues with playlists. Whenever I enable either network pre-rolls, pre-ads or ads during the show, the episode itself will never play, only the ads. For me to be able to watch the actual show I have to disable everything. While I'm not complaining that I don't see ads (lol), I do like the network pre-roll before the show.
- Whenever I pause in the middle of a video, after I press play again it kind of messes up the video for a while. Screen goes green-ish, goes backwards for a few seconds, drops a lot of frames and when it reaches the timestamp of the moment when I paused it, everything's good again.
- Also there is some timeout thing that if it stays in pause for too long , you will have to start playing again.
- Are there any issues with the "Remove from Queue" feature? How does it work exactly? Sometimes my videos are removed from the queue, sometimes not. I always let the credits roll out till the end (not sure if it's needed, but I do it just in case), but still not all videos are removed automatically. I end up doing "Context Menu - Remove from Queue", so it's not too bad.
- Not a problem, as this is stated in the opening post, but someone who needs captions/subtitles and is using an atv2 might want to know this. Subtitle decoding on the atv2 really is SLOW. It takes around 2 mins or more to decode the stream before a 40-min show starts playing. If subtitles are not enabled the same show takes around 10-15 seconds or so.
Anyway, that's about it... I'm honestly happy with this plugin. Not only it allows me to watch Hulu Plus @ 720p, but also those damn shows and clips that are web-only. If only they also enabled 720p versions of those, I'd be in heaven! Because they do have them, they're just not public.
By the way, I added a 'favourite' or 'bookmark' to access Hulu on the default Confluence skin.
If anyone uses a skin or method to access plugins even quicker, let me know
