Also need to update the Website sqlCVS repo, then the Hulu Player appears on the Software Modules page.

Add it, then the install runs, but there seems to be a missing binary file...

Thom thanks, I just installed Hulu and it is working as it is expected now.

[jimbodude]

has hulu_plugin.so been added to the install process?  I am still missing it...

[ccoudsi]

jimbodude,
While I was debugging the problem I had with Hulu, I installed the plugin manually, and forgot to deleted, so I'm not sure if it was overwritten with the new one or it was not installed during the installation, it would be nice if someone else install Hulu from scratch and see if it works without any manual intervention.

I just did an apt-get upgrade, and installed hulu.

When I launch hulu, I get the message: I cannot play this media. Perhaps there is no a valid device in this entertainment area capable of playing it.

So it was not as simple as updating sqlcvs DCE and Designer repositories, and selecting Hulu Player from the software modules. There may be something else that needs to be done.

I believe this is because the hulu_plugin.so is missing.  I am experiencing the same issue.

[donpaul]

Makes sense. I can launch it from kde fine. Is this a bug, or is hulu simply not ready yet?

I did an apt-get install lmce-hulu-plugin on the core, and reloaded the router. Hulu works now.

um... I can't install that package... it doesn't exist.  Yes, I apt-get updated... Yes, I tried apt-cache search to see if there was a spelling error.  Yes, I checked to make sure it isn't already installed... No hulu packages anywhere.

[jimbodude]

Right, so there were a few issues here...
1) Package lists aren't being updated for some people.  I'm one of them - this is why I got nowhere with the install.  http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/ticket/615
2) There was some missing stuff related to getting the hulu plugin package - Thom added it, now it works right.  sqlCVS update the dce repo to get the changes.
3) I was unable to get the autogenerated scenario to appear on orbiters until I manually sorted them in the web admin several times.  This is because UpdateEntArea_Media.cpp assumes that it can just select iOrder numbers without checking what exists in the database.  In my case, one iOrder was used twice.

I now have Hulu running.  The Orbiter controls are not ready yet - you must use a remote with arrows or a keyboard.  Other than that, it looks like it works.

When sqlCVS updating, make sure to update each repo individually, and check all tables in the repo. For hulu, as Thom pointed out, you need the DCE repo and the designer repo.

And also the website repo, otherwise the Hulu Player option does not show up under software modules
