That pretty much says it all.

Ran the update on the installer, THEN the Boxee update, and I'm seeing CBS but NOT Hulu.

Help?

No, it's not.

I'm looking in Settings > Media Sources > Applications, and I see all the rest of the providers (CBS, CNN, etc.) but not Hulu.

I tried manually adding it as a source, but I'm apparently not smart enough.

When viewing the list of applications, I selected Add Source, named it Hulu, and gave it hulu.com as its location.

No good there.

Any ideas?

To clarify, this is on the ATV.

It works fine on my Macbook Pro.

Aaaaaaaaand I probably should've posted this in Apple TV Help. My bad.

I went through all that, editing the XML file to delete my profile, reboot, run the updates on the launcher and the app, reboot again, and not only is my profile still there, there are now NO sources listed.

I'm thinking this is more trouble than it's worth at this point.

hi mattchandl3r

just delete your profile(rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/BOXEE/UserData/profiles/{boxee user name}) ..then select to launch boxee ,no profile should be found inside the login screen ..select add user and enter your credentials as a new user boxee will then generate a new source.xml.

if this does not work you can manually add hulu by going to settings >media sources>manually add source ..

enter source name "Hulu" and the rss location "rss://dir.boxee.tv/hulu/" ..

lastly ..if this does not work i will send you the xml by email ...:)

Well holy smokes. That did it.

Didn't mean to seem in any way nasty with my last post. I should've said "too much trouble for someone like me who knows just enough command line to break things but not fix them."

Totally awesome. Thanks for the concise help.
