have you re-installed it using the script? the script is what puts the link in the online streams area. If you wanted you could probably change the menu files to put it wherever you want. do a locate for mainmenu.xml and it will show you the 4 or 5 folders that the menu files are located under.

There might be an easier way to change the menu but I'm not that smart.

The script adds the hulu button to the file /usr/share/mythtv/is.xml instead of /usr/share/mythtv/themes/defaultmenu/is.xml. Once I copied it to the right place (cp /usr/share/mythtv/is.xml /usr/share/mythtv/themes/defaultmenu/is.xml), it showed up.

Does it worry anybody else that we haven't seen any updates for Hulu Desktop in a while?

I've seen postings where people conjecture that Hulu plans to drop support for Hulu Desktop. Difficult to know what will happen...

Anyone figured out how to stop the screensaver from kicking in during hulu?

in .huludesktop in the /home/mythtv dir there is this:

[screensaver]
suspend_script = /usr/bin/xscreensaver-command -deactivate
resume_script = /usr/bin/xscreensaver-command -activate

doesn't seem to work for me for some reason.

I recently upgraded to version 6.04 so decided I might as well and bite the bullet and update Hulu Desktop (which was out of date) to the currently available version. I figured worse case it it might break it.

The good news is that it worked without a problem and got rid of the ugly message that kept telling me that Hulu desktop needed updated.

I just downloaded the current deb from the Hulu site, used deb2targz to create the gz file the untared it to the the root directory.

(One side note. I had downloaded the deb file to /tmp and somewhere along the update process something changed the permissions to /tmp. I had to chmod 777 /tmp to restore r/w to everyone )

I think that /tmp was intended to have a sticky bit as mine does.

drwxrwxrwt 4 http http 4096 2011-05-25 09:45 tmp

Interesting, not at my machine at the moment but I sure root root the way mine is listed.

When I tried to reboot it couldn't write the Mysql port number to a file in /tmp/mysql.sock

chmod a+rwxt /tmp should restore the proper permissions to /tmp

slowtolearn,

Thanks for providing the command for the correct permissions.
On my machine root is the owner of /tmp

after running

chmod a+rwxt /tmp

/tmp now looks like this

drwxrwxrwt 7 root root 4096 2011-05-26 12:57 tmp


Thanks again!

OK, got me thinking how I did that. I checked history files of root and mythtv for a chown and found nothing. Then remembered that I had installed zoneminder which probably changed it as it write to that directory. I removed zoneminder as v. 1.23 doesn't support out of the box my Logitech webcam and required using mjpeg-streamer and low res on the cam. With 1.24 I use 800x600 and can go higher but it sucks cpu so it's got its own box. Anyway that's the only thing I can think of why I have http ownership on /tmp.
