HULU help needed

[marrandy]

Is there a really basic, straight forward HULU install/setup ?

I see it in the OrbiterGL menu but when I click on it, nothing happens.

The only setup involves just clicking on the Hulu module in Wizard > Media Directors... then saving... letting it reload and regenerate.

Are you in the US? If not, Hulu will not work.

[marrandy]

Thanks for responding.  Yes, that's what I did.  I see it in the OrbiterGL menu but when I click on it, nothing happens.  I'm in Florida.

try rebooting to see if the system needs to repair something.

Thanks again.  That worked.

Is this normal on linuxmce or is it because its still Beta ?

I'm not used to rebooting UNIX type systems, normally, service restart or re-read the configuration file is all that is needed bar a kernel upgrade.

Ref HULU, the picture jeks/pauses/well, not smooth every few seconds.  I'm on a Asus M3N78-VM.

I am guessing the package didn't install (probably because the server has been busy lately.)...so the reboot repaired it.

[marrandy]

Great...thanks again, you are a star !

Well, a Guru actually.

[marrandy]

One more thing.

When I play a HULU movie, it is as tall as the screen (vertical) but is only about Two Thirds the width (Horixontal).

The OrbierGL is fullscreen.

?


ADD:  its OK when I play a DVD or ripped DVD

[tschak909]

dunno..

-Thom

[marrandy]

OK.

I tried dropping it to 720p - no change.

But having watched some stuff, it goes fullscreen for the adverts so I guess its the movie size.

NOTE:   when I was re-setting the resolution up, I selected 70Hz and decided I wanted to go back and set it for 60Hz so I selected no, I wasn't happy (or whatever it was).  But as opposed to the 0710, it didn't take me back to the start of the setup screen but started rebuilding the screens.  So I had to start over selecting advanced, set resolution with it rebooting.
