As of today 11/06/2009, GetFLV has stopped working on hulu.com. I get the "This video is not currently available for this site, but you can view this and other Hulu videos on Hulu.com" error in place of where the video would have been. No link shows up and when it does on a rare occassion it won't download. I've been using 8.8.6.8 and I tried it on Windows 7 and Windows Vista system with the latest version of Flash installed. It was working as of yesterday 11/5/09. Did hulu change something? Is there something that Getflv can to do get it working again? Is anyone else having the same problem? Thanks.

lobstersushi: Yes, what you describe does seem to be the case. GetFLV uses the bsalsa embedded web browser component pack in order to interface with IE. I suspect that some user agent detection is happening, or something similar. This has been done at least once before, and is an individualized attempt to specifically block getflv.

Hi Blimey. I have the same problem here.

Same here, I'm running on GetFLV 8.8.86. BTW, I can't get the converter to open on this version.

I am having the same problem and I have the latest update installed as well. I have emailed them numerous times about this and they ignore me.

This is the error I get:

This video is not currently available at this site, but you can view this and other Hulu videos at Hulu.com.



I guess since we are all having the same problems it's all on the people at GetFLV to fix this problem.

In another very popular site in BR, GetFLV latest version was able to download its files until last Thursday. Odd enough, another Rip program has failed to capture the encrypted stream on very same day - it gives an error related to its url finder and wpcap.

GetFLV 8.8.6.9 can download hulu videos again. Please check it.:)

blimey, thanks for the input as to the root of the problem. BoBSagget, I also emailed them with no response. If you would notice, GetFLV 8.8.6.9 was released today and it is still being blocked by hulu. I don't think it did any good. I'm still getting the same error.

blimey, do you think this is a big problem and the fix will take a while? It's unfortunate that the developers won't communicate with us and we have to take guesses especially since we paid for their software. I think at least an announcement on the website would help.

No, GetFLV 8.8.6.9 works. You may see the error at least one more time until the cookies are replaced. Try reloading the page several times in getflv. If the error doesn't stop, clear all cookies in IE manually. Also, for this version only the URL being played will be displayed. 480p needs to be selected and played to see its link.
