Thread: Hulu Plus is Better on Boxee (with out an official app).

  1. #1

    Default Hulu Plus is Better on Boxee (with out an official app).

    My wife has been complaining that the boxee box work around for Hulu(plus) is too finicky for her, and she wanted to find a box that Hulu supported. So while staying with the folks for a couple days my wife is trying to watch a queued show from Hulu on my dad's AppleTV but Hulu says the queue is empty. Strange.

    So, I open up my computer and quickly log on to hulu. Find her show and in small writing it says that Huluplus users can watch ONLY the second season on their set top box device - on the web browser (i.e. Boxee) both season 1 and 2 are available.

    She's quite happy with the Boxee work-around now. How about that!

    What is this work around you speak of? I guess I haven't been paying attention.

    Thanks steve30000! I didn't know about the Hulu workaround either - so your blog post's instructions were super-helpful. Appreciated

    Once you start a show through the app, you're essentially using the browser. You should be able to login through that to access your Hulu+ account.

    Per the review link posted above, the review covers this and the URL for the repository.

    Hi steven, I followed your instructions but it doesn't seem to work for me.

    I've added the Bartsidee Repository but when i click on it, i get an error message saying: 'there are no apps currently avilable in this repository'.

    What am i doing wrong??

    Tnx,Adi

    Sometimes it takes a while for the apps in a newly added repository to show up. If you still have problems after a few minutes of going to the Home Screen and then returning to the repository screen to add the App, try logging out and back in again.
