GetFLV can download Hulu.com videos now? I have problems with it!

I still got a GetFLV edition with lifetime updates for sell. If anyone interested, drop me a PM.

Thanks for the input, still no joy here. I pasted the link into the GetFLV browser, then selected the 1mbps stream from the list, chose download and it takes me to the download page. There it shows up with a green checkmark next to it, but nothing happens ... that is nothing appears next to file size, % downloaded, etc. Eventually it disappears on its own from the list and lists itself in the downloaded list as a 1,558.77MB file, but when you look at the actual file it is only 1kb.

What am I doing wrong ... do you perhaps require a certain browser type or version? I use Firefox almost exclusively, so my IE is only V6 as I never need or want to update it. Could that be the issue?

GetFLV is dependent on IE. So IE (and the flash components installed for IE) must be current enough to play the content. The usual way to check this is to see if the hulu video plays in IE.

I also don't ordinarily use IE, but I have v8 installed along with the newest flash player.

It plays just fine in IE, always has, so I guess that is not it. Unless there IS some component in IE7 or 8 that GetFLV relies on that we are unaware of at this point.

Note that lifetime license may not work on other computers. You should ask the company about it.

That could be an issue since GetFLV uses IE and I think Hulu uses a higher version of IE but I'm not certain. I know it works on my end with GetFLV 8.8.9.2 and IE8. Could also be that flash needs to be updated for IE too.

Maybe I'll try it one of my kid's laptops as they have IE8. I don't think it is a Flash issue as that is a current version. Will double-check though, thanks.

Did anyone happen to download Mr. Billion when it was available on Hulu?

I am using GetFLV 8.8.9.3 (although the Title Bar says 8.8.9.5) on Win/XP SP3. I use Firefox 3.5.8 as my Browser but have IE 6.0.2900.5512 also. I have a DSL connection going through a Westell 2200 cable modem.

The only way that I could get GetFLV to work properly was the change the Security Level on my cable mode firewall from "Medium" to "Low".

Now I can download even the Hi-Res HuLu streams. I switch back the security level to "Medium" when I'm finished downloading.

Since finding this fix, I am totally pleased with GetFLV

(although I do use a free program to do file conversions:

Hope this info helps someone

I still have the error "please install latest adobe flash" yet my flash is already installed.
