Hulu download script

[svnpenn]

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.

Awesome, thanks!

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

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

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

C:\Documents and Settings\evol\Desktop\hulu>

Ok I see the problem

This script requires Ruby 1.9

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