Hulu "Restricted to 17 or older"

I updated today and watched an episode of "It's always sunny in Philidelphia" this afternoon. Tonight trying to watch the same episode, I get the "restricted" message. I am signed in to Hulu with my account, and have tried playing it from both my queue and browsing to the episode from the directory.

I should also mention that it works fine from my mac logged into the Hulu website.

I am seeing the same thing. I can play it on my laptop through Hulu, but not on my AppleTV through Boxee.

I logged out of Hulu, restarted Boxee (pulled the power cord after exit), restarted Boxee and tried both with and without signing in (in both orders). Still broken.

Maybe for you it does

atv was in suspend.

I started boxee, went to "videos"-"internet"-"hulu"
The first time I entered my username for hulu, boxee crashed with "status:11"

The second time I tried, I got as far as username and password and it crashed with "status:11".

Power cycled the atv (pulled the cord).
I started boxee, went to "videos"-"internet"-"hulu". Signed in with my credentials. Went to "TV", scrolled down to "It's always sunny in Philadelphia", navigated to "season 1", selected "Episode 1", selected "play". I get a white 16:9 screen for a second and then "Loading video", then get the "We are sorry, but the video you have requested is restricted to users 17 and older" on a full black screen, then get "We are sorry, but the video you have requested is restricted to users 17 and older" as well as "Recommended More Episodes More Clips".

This worked yesterday afternoon after the update. I tried two different logins for Hulu both with a birthdate of 1970 in the profile.

Just as an update. I tried it on my macbook running yesterday's updated boxee as well and see the same behavior.

Additional update. Boxee crashes consistantly on my macbook after inputing my username. I have the error report if anyone at boxee would like to see it. I also submitted it via apple's error reporting.
