I must have something else wrong... Ive not been able to get it to work... will try on a test MD.

Dennis

Im curious to see if it works for you... just in case I have something else causing my problem.   

It just seems strange that the latest Kubuntu amd64 can run the latest firefox and flashplayer allowing hulu to work... I just cant seem to find what the differences are.

Dennis

oops.. sorry.. messed up on the pasting of the address.   the 64 bit one is because my 'desktop' computer is 64 bit Kubuntu.  
There is an i386 version that would be run on my MD, however the 'flash-aid'' script wants to un-install flashplugin-installer (which would break many things)... ive been trying to run the script manually step by step excluding the removal of flashplugin-installer, and linking /etc/alternatives/mozilla-flashplayer to the new libflashplugin.so located in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins.  

here is the script generated by 'flash-aid' that would be run on my 32bit MD:

The file i would need for my MD would be
wget http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/pdc/11.1.102.63/install_flash_player_11_linux.i386.tar.gz
and I am working on applying it now to see what it resolves

The thing that is itching at me is that on my day-to-day PC (Running Kubuntu Precise, 12.04) I was unable to get huludesktop to work with the normal flashplugin-installer. I did however find a Firefox utility (Flash-Aid) that downloaded flash from another location: wget http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/pdc//install_flash_player_11_linux.x86_64.tar.gz11.2.202.235/install_flash_player_11_linux.x86_64.tar.gz and it installed flash to /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so

and huludesktop was working.

I tried running flash-aid on my MD, however it didnt seem to fix the issue either.  

And I did read somewhere that in /etc/adobe/mms.cfg, there is a entry for the newer flashplugin "EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1"  that is default, and should be changed to =0... however that didnt make any difference either.

Im using the older flashplugin-installer mentioned in prior post, as well as an earlier firefox to get huludesktop to work for now.  

Dennis

also verified this on hulu forums.  look under the topic 'huludesktop linux fail' at this site: http://www.hulu.com/discussions/19

Dennis

I had time to install prior versions of flashplugin-installer AND firefox (latest firefox requires newer flash)

What I downloaded is 10.0.45.2ubuntu1 of flashplugin installer from here: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/core/lucid/multiverse/updates/flashplugin-installer

and 9.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1 of firefox from here: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/mozilla_team_firefox_stable/lucid/main/base/firefox

Hulu is working now (however the newer firefox and flashplugin were to improve video playback)

I tried re-installing just the latest flashplugin, but hulu quit working again.  It is strange because on my linux desktop (Kubuntu 12) I am running the latest firefox and flashplugin and hulu works fine there.   


Dennis

alright... thanks for the info.   Ive not yet gotten to that... been working on setting up FTA satellite...

Dennis

and its rough because Im somewhat impatient!   Always on the run... always got more to do than time to do it!

Im gonna re-try this latest firmware and try the scripts to get a reasonable picture..


Dennis

Please note there is actually a NEWER firmware ... 

snip from this page http://www.hauppauge.com/site/support/support_hdpvr.html

Windows driver for HD PVR

HD PVR driver version 1.7.1.30059
This version is for Windows 7, Windows Vista or Windows XP. It is also for HD PVR users with third party Mac or Linux applications.

Please note: this loads firmware onto HD PVR (it must be run on a Windows PC). The third party Linux or Mac application is still needed.

Dennis

Thom,
      Ive never had my HDPVR autodetected (dont know if its because it has to be plugged in AFTER ive set up my MD).

about the sync script...  Will these settings correct the video 'oversaturation and color issues' on the latest firmware for the Hauppauge HDPVR?   I tried the latest firmware, but the video color is all wrong (mostly pink...eeeekkkk!!!).     However the latest firmware changes channels much better and is quicker.

The latest firmware is version 1.7.1.30059 as indicated here:http://www.hauppauge.com/site/support/support_hdpvr.html


in the script, will there be fields where I enter commands such as those found here:http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Hauppauge_HD-PVR#Bitrate_and_Picture_Controls

Thanks,
Dennishttp://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Hauppauge_HD-PVR#Bitrate_and_Picture_Controls

Have a look at this http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/TuneToChannel.sh

Wnen you set up your 'Input Connections' in MythTV for your HDPVR there will be an field to enter an External command to change channels... you will enter the information there.

Dennis

hmm.. I'll try that... I know it WAS working on my linux desktop (11.04 kubuntu), but i just tried it and it complains about flashplugin. it was working not long ago.

Dennis

hmmmm...   

checked that!!!!   

even re-installed and even tried flashplugin-nonfree...

Still no go 

Update again last night... no affect!

bummer!!!!


Dennis

Recent install of LMCE-1004-201203211118.iso  and then an update today.   Then created MD, however trying to launch Hulu Player results in this in dmesg:

[ 1024.248009] huludesktop[9590]: segfault at 4d0 ip 005f6a0a sp bfcdad30 error 4 in libX11.so.6.3.0[5e2000+119000]

This is all that is reporting in the xx_Hulu_Player.log:

and this is the only item in pluto.log:
1       03/30/12 19:47:23       67 (spawning-device)    Found ./Hulu_Player

NOTE:  all logs are from the MD (there is no information for Hulu in the same logs on the core).

Anyone else having same issue or have any suggestions?

Dennis

JaseP,
 No.. this is on bootup when the system has detected your video card and runs the AVWizard (video port/resolution/sound) before the setup wizard even runs (Sarah).
