Waiting on confirmation that a new version fixes the existing Hulu problem. I'm reluctant to upgrade my version until I'm sure it will work.

sorry to say but getflv was one of the worst programs I've ever used. It was so hit and miss with hulu (forget the + part) and to top it off lol I have to renew my subscription to them again to use their program? I dropped $60 bucks on a program for a year that barely worked at best. At that rate I'd rather just screen capture and deal with it.
when i first found this i was really happy...
and i felt the $59.95 was worth it
i signed up for hulu plus and downloaded six videos
and two days later it quit working...

that was in february...
i sent a few emails
and haven't heard from you since...

a few weeks ago i tried it again
and it's the same thing
it'll only download the previews
and record mode never works...

how many times do we need
to download the new one
to see if it'll...

Thanks for the tip on a workaround.

As for people having problems with downloading from Hulu / Hulu+... while GetFLV isn't the most stable program, crashing or freezing more often than not, it's STILL the only program I know of that can download from Hulu successfully, albeit it painstakingly. There are plenty of other people who are still using it. Part of the problem is that it requires a good deal of patience. It also requires constant upgrading - whether actually necessary or not - every time Flash updates on your system. Definitely sucks, but again, if someone knows of another program that can download and decrypt Hulu streams, including subtitles, please let us all know.

I do feel for those who aren't technically inclined, as this program will definitely scare you away due to how frustrating it is to use. In addition, there are still plenty of issues with it such as the inability to download a full HD movie without having to use a number of tricks to do so (and even then there's no guarantee), the subtitles issue I've mentioned when using the Desktop, not displaying ALL available streams on a consistent basis (not just with Hulu either), and of course the freezing and constant need to upgrade every few days in order for it to keep working properly, to name the ones off the top of my head.

The streams are shown and I was able to download the fplive stream.
However, it looks like this workaround has a limited lifespan when Hulu takes away the desktop or it becomes too buggy.

Which I why I've suggested previously for GetFLV to sniff out ALL the streams WITHOUT needing to use the Desktop. I know it can be done, as the program ADownloader can see them without using the Desktop (it does require using a Hulu+ login though), but cannot download the stream. It just sits there restarting over and over.

@getflv:
The last version was 9.8.169.18 and the newer version is 9.8.166.18?

Which version would that be exactly?

I just downloaded 9.8.171.18, so I hope that's it.

EDIT: Nope, still will only show links for the ads, and the video playback window still goes blank when the main video is expected to start.

This was the video I tried: Mr. Robot http://www.hulu.com/watch/831290

2nd Update: I did get a couple of 650K streams to show up in the list for an episode of The Whispers, but only once. I can't reproduce it for any other episode.

Final analysis: It appears to be working intermittently on ABC shows like The Whispers, but on shows that require a provider login (like Mr. Robot, Defiance, White Collar), it still doesn't work.

Can anyone else try these shows and verify?

Also the videos don't play/appear in getflv latest version, but do in chrome when you click a moment and start playing

The only download link GetFLV can get is for the "ads" .. the actual video doesn't even play anymore it just sits there on the "loading" screen with the circle going on forever. :(

Re: GetFLV - Troubleshooting many problems with GFLV ...


 
I got the latest version to work on Whispers, Degrassi, and Seinfeld. I see and can record streams of 400K, 650K, 1000K, 1400K, 1900K, 2400K, and 3100K!

I should add that the video doesn't play in the window, but the streams do show up to be downloaded.

But shows that need a provider login (White Collar, Defiance, Mr. Robot) still do not work at all. Only the ad stream link shows up.

I'm using the Chrome kernel.

That link worked for me. I see a list of streams from 400K to 3100K. Are you using the chrome kernel, and are logged in to Hulu+?

Re: GetFLV - Troubleshooting many problems with GFLV ...


 
It is not working on the latest version, stuck at loading screen. The preview of the video it self can't load. However, it worked on firefox. Did not log-in anywhere.

I would advise the developer to test the software on different platforms using virtual machines.

Windows 7 x64 here

Yeah, I'm using Chrome Kernel and I'm logged into my Hulu Plus account .. I don't know what the problem is .. I even tried a couple of "The Whispers" streams but nothing happened .. the promo ad shows then the circle just sits there spinning and spinning :( I'm on the latest Flash version and the latest GetFLV version .. Win 7 32-bit

The only difference is I'm running Win7x64. My flash version is 18.

I get the constant spinning circle, but the stream links at the bottom do load.

I find stuff like this comical -- how do you expect them to figure out what protocol the site uses for GetFLV to download it? I understand the reluctance to give out credentials, but you do realize each site uses different methods to encrypt their streams right?

if they would respond to PMs then maybe i would. But MANY of times have i and others PMd them and not even a response is givin. thats the last thing i want to happen. Me give them credentials but not hear anything back from them saying yes or no about the streams. Im just putting the info about the lack of gamepass support.out there.

I wonder if it has to to with the beefiness of the system. The new version works for me, but it is sluggish even on my i7-4790 with 16GB RAM.

Are you both in or outside the USA?

Because maybe it's a bad proxy server, or bad internet connection?

Hey dare, I downloaded OK today. It's Hulu plus (I download Once Upon a Time and Mr Robot) and has a lot of ver: 640, 1000, 1900, 2400, 3100.
Thanks getflv. Yesterday i can't download anything but today is fine.

Re: GetFLV - Troubleshooting many problems with GFLV ...


 
Oh my goodness, I think I just figured something out. The links are there, just invisible. Load a show, wait about 10 seconds, and then double-click one of the blank lines in the list. It should pop up asking where to save it. So there is no way to know which quality stream you are choosing, but they are there.

Or maybe this was just a one-time fluke.

EDIT: Turns out it was just a one-time fluke.

Re: GetFLV - Troubleshooting many problems with GFLV ...


 
After logging into my Hulu account and clicking on a show that has an HD version available, I was able to see all of the streams WITHOUT needing to use Hulu Desktop... so hooray for this! Previously it would only offer links up to 1500K, but now it sees the ones above it up to 3100K. It's a very welcome fix to GetFLV since I know we are all worried about the day Hulu Desktop stops being available.

The latest GetFLV version is very powerful getflv :)
Thank You again

Can you also fix CBS.com, to get more links for episodes, and subtitles when available?

Also NBC takes forever to processing after I downloaded the episode, and also subtitles if you can?

But still thank you thank you thank you for fixing hulu :)

CBS has several links in flv, but only get 950x540 in GetFLV

NBC also post flv links in many qualities, and .ts files in the same qualities, but processing the ts files takes a lot of time.

But thanks for all you do, to get us the videos :)

So @denobis seems to no longer reply to inquiries about Atresdownloader. I see people email him, tweet him and he never responds. He also has not been here in 2 months.

So I am once again considering a purchase of getflv here. I have two questions for anyone who has the right data to answer them:

1) Has anyone successfully been using getflv to download 4500k streams from the WWE Network lately? Before it would grab them but not finish.

2) Anyone who has sought a refund within 30 days, as I believe that is what the policy states, have you had any trouble obtaining the refund from the getflv people.

Thanks.

Alright, so I just bought in and bought 2 licenses, so I can use it in two locations.

I have only registered one at the moment. However, I got two emails but both were the same serial number.....will it still work for two locations?? I would like to be able to verify I am getting what I paid for, guess I expected it would make more sense to have 2 serial numbers for two licenses.
