I think what he is asking is if the authors of GetFLV have some way of being able to detect the higher quality HD streams from the web interface of Hulu instead of needing to use Hulu Desktop which has been discontinued for about 1.5 years now and will most likely disappear in the future. I'm sure it means that you will need a paid Hulu account (they've dropped the Plus name as of a few weeks ago). I think the desktop may also be the reason the streams have such varying download rates and errors with being unable to download as Jinjoni is experiencing. I've had those problems too but it was usually solved by simply exiting the program and restarting it.

I have attempted to use another program which does see the higher quality streams once you are logged into Hulu, but it cannot download them. GetFLV is still the only program I know of that can consistently download successfully from Hulu.

One issue I continually have is trying to download a full HD movie using the 3100K stream. More often than not it will just stop somewhere near the last part of the movie, depending on the length of it. It's typically in the 70-90% range. Trying to pause and then restart it usually results in a failure.

So are the higher bitrate streams only available using Hulu Desktop?

Ill go one further and give you guys access to my hulu+ if needed. I also have a hard time getting the higher streams to download.
I hate the Hulu desktop interface so much and it would be nice for you guys to finally do something proactive about it

What would you need to edit to make it work? I'll gladly do this. It beats waiting for the coders to implement something

Not just that, but what would you use to edit the file since it appears to be a binary file?

You think maybe he meant the "hsx.dat" its plain text

Download and install latest version to check your problem.

You guys are geniuses.

So based on the last reply does that mean you are getting the 3000k streams now?

Yes. 3100K in the shows I've tested.

Sorry to bug again but I rather hear it from someone else than keep hearing "download the latest version "

So you downloaded the latest hulu and were able to get the 3100 streams. Did you need the desktop application to do that? Or can you just go to hulu in the GETflv browser to get the 3100k streams? (I have a plus account of course.)

I am ready to put down some money on the program if this can be clarified but I can never get a clear and concise answer from the guy that runs this support thread.

Thanks for your reply, it is truly appreciated.
