I fixed the EULA popup issue. There's a line in the .huludesktop file that says: eula_version = 0. It needs to be set to 1. My .huludesktop file was owned by root, I think that's why it wasn't updating... |

I installed the update today also, and it seems that it works a bit better with the remote. Has anyone else notived this, or am I imagining it? For people looking to upgrade, grab the Ubuntu .deb file and use Code: deb2targz huludesktop_i386.deb to convert it, then install it with; Code: sudo tar xzvf huludesktop_i386.tar.gz -C /
Since there are questions about distrubiting it, can the installer just use wget to grab the file from Hulu? Debain does that to get Flash and MS fonts from their corporate servers. |

You can read the change notes at /usr/share/doc/huludesktop/changelog.Debian.gz <- you have to gzip -d it. It's just a text file, I'm not sure why it's gzipped... Anyway, here's the updates: (I don't see any notes about improved remote performance) Quote: huludesktop (0.9.4-1) stable; urgency=low

Nice. I was wondering about the screensaver. For those using "stable", the repos are in sync. So, you can use the install_hulu.sh script to install hulu. |

Code: [screensaver] That should disable xscreensaver. I've updated install_hulu.sh to take care of this. However, if you have a /home/mythtv/.huludesktop, it won't overwrite it... Just remove it, place the new .deb in /tmp and suspend_script = /usr/bin/xscreensaver-command -deactivate resume_script = /usr/bin/xscreensaver-command -activate Code: sudo install_hulu.sh

This worked for me. From /tmp as root. wget http://download.hulu.com/huludesktop_i386.deb mv /home/mythtv/.huludesktop /home/mythtv/.huludesktop.old install_hulu.sh |

I upgraded to R6 last night and installed Hulu Desktop. It is recognizing the remote but I'm finding that using the remote is almost useless. The arrow buttons do work but often register twice. The "select" and "menu" buttons both appear to have the same effect when pressed in which they bring up a menu but only so long as the button is held down. As soon as I release the button the menu disappears and playback resumes. I tried holding down the menu button while simultaneously pressing arrow keys but no such luck with that (I don't believe the remote can send multiple commands at once). Basically the "select" and "menu" buttons work as momentary switches instead of toggle switches. Does anyone have this issue? Also, has anyone figured out a method to close Hulu Desktop with the remote? There really isn't much point to having the remote functionality in Hulu Desktop if you have to run for the mouse to close it. Martian |

My remote works fine in Hulu, although the response is slow, and every once in a while it stops responding for a few seconds, and then "catches up" with multiple button pushes. As long as you don't try to move too fast through the menus, it is ok. For me, the Select button pauses playback and brings up the side menu(left side). The bottom item is exit Hulu. The Menu (M key) button toggles the video to the upper left corner, and accesses the menu for choosing other shows, searches etc.. BTW: For me with an Athlon XP 2200 (1.8ghz), the playback is a little choppy on medium quality. I know the Hulu Labs website claims 2ghz core 2 duo for requirements for the Linux desktop, but what have others had good luck with? Or is there another trick to getting better quality. ( Network speed is plenty fast). Thanks. |

@mapemera from what I've read the quality limitations are that this whole thing is built on Flash. So I guess we just have to hope that Adobe makes a less system hogging version of Flash for Linux, or at least includes video card support... |

That's what I was afraid of. I guess it's probably time to upgrade anyway. If I can get Hulu to run smoothly, we can drop cable. That cost savings would actually pay for the upgrades, now that I think about it. If I can only get the wife to see it that way.... |

Version 0.9.6 is now available. I downloaded to /tmp and ran install_hulu.sh I still need to figure out why my remote isn't playing nice. Martian |

Does install_hulu.sh no longer write over an existing remote configuration in /home/mythtv/.huludesktop? That happened to me with the first upgrade... |

And can someone post the contents of /usr/share/doc/huludesktop/changelog.Debian.gz for 0.9.6? I dont' know why they don't make the changelog available online somewhere... |
