I created a very basic Ruby script to download from Hulu.

It only works for Windows right now.

Feel free to use and improve it.

Hi have you any hints and tips on installing ruby on windows to use your script ?

Ive installed rubyinstaller version 1.8.7 and the DevKit and ran
gem install nokogiri
&
gem install nokogiri --platform=ruby

Still cant get your script to work ?

:(

I'm at work right now.

I will try to make a write up for the script later today!

Any help on this please im really interested in this Ruby method.

Thanks :o

Sorry for the delay. I have been trying to turn the script into a Ruby gem, so that it is easier to install.

I am new with Ruby so its been slow going, but it definitely works with Hulu, without:

* modifying hosts file
* RtmpSrv
* RtmpExplorer

What issue did you have, maybe I can solve it for now.

This is the error i get even though i have nokogiri installed from gem ?
C:\Documents and Settings\evol\Desktop\hulu>ruby hulu.rb
hulu.rb:4:in `require': no such file to load -- nokogiri (LoadError)
from hulu.rb:4

Ok I see the problem

This script requires Ruby 1.9

If you are going to use Ruby 1.8 you need this diff

Thanks got it working :D

What i did..........

1. Downloaded Ruby 1.9.3-p125 (http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/75848/rubyinstaller-1.9.3-p125.exe)

2. Downloaded RubyInstaller DevKit (https://github.com/downloads/oneclick/rubyinstaller/DevKit-tdm-32-4.5.2-20111229-1559-sfx.exe)

3. Setup DevKit..........

a) Extracted the DevKit.7z to C:\DevKit
b) From CMD Prompt > cd C:\DevKit
ruby dk.rb init
ruby dk.rb install
c) Test DevKit is working
gem install rdiscount --platform=ruby
d) Test that gem is working
ruby -rubygems -e "require 'rdiscount'; puts RDiscount.new('**Hello RubyInstaller**').to_html"

4. Update to the latest RubyGems version
gem update --system

5. Install nokogiri gem
gem install nokogiri

6. Finished run hulu.rb

:cool:

One also needs procdump (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/dd996900) installed

as well as rtmpdump (http://rtmpdump.mplayerhq.hu/) (it is not good assuming everybody has it)

procdump
grep
strings
rtmpdump

files must be in same /bin folder as the hulu.rb (having them in system path ie \windows\system32 is not working)


If I only knew very easily which of the streams (35 in total) is actually the one I want...
But good bet is 1000_h264 stream...

Is there a way to save .mp4 (as in the stream) directly and not as .flv , so I do not have to remux it?

ffmpeg -i filename.flv -vcodec copy -acodec copy filename.mp4

'strings' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

This script is still a work in progress. Strings is a program you will need on your PATH for it to work. I want to remove this dependency by calling Win32 API directly. For now you can just download it.
