Re: can't download from hulu anymore

 

If you have Cygwin, you can use hulu.sh script

Re: can't download from hulu anymore

 

I uploaded a fix for this problem, try it again.

Re: can't download from hulu anymore

 

@ svnpenn quick question when downloading and installing Cygwin do we use the full or basic package ?

Just finally thinking to give your scripts ago on windows. :)

Re: can't download from hulu anymore

 

I installed Cygwin just now, as a test. I did not see any options for "full" or "basic"; so I'm not sure how to answer this.

Re: can't download from hulu anymore

 

Sorry i meant packages :o

Re: can't download from hulu anymore

 

Mate, I have no idea what you are talking about. You simply download "setup.exe" and run the installation with default options. If you are having this much trouble installing Cygwin, then this script might not be for you.

Re: can't download from hulu anymore

 

thanks a lot for your generous help!
but when I went to http://github.com/svnpenn/etc/blob/master/hulu.sh
I got the version updated two months ago.I remember the latest hulu.sh was uploaded on Aug 31. where is the latest update ?
besides, after I ran cygwin for a while , I got a file named p.core on my desktop, and the code turns like this :

-sh-4.1$ /etc/hulu.sh
cygwin warning:
MS-DOS style path detected: C:\WINDOWS\system32/Macromed/Flash/mms.cfg
Preferred POSIX equivalent is: /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/Macromed/Flash/mms.cfg
CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this warning.

besides. where should I place rtmpdump ? Into the folder the same as hulu.sh and rtmpdump host.sh OR somewhere else ?
and which web browser should I use ? if I use firefox, after I run /etc/hulu.sh, the video just stops, and it says adobe flash player has collapsed.
i think i am foolish enough as to need a step by step tutorial, from the install of every necessary software to the code i need to type in .
Desperately need help.

Re: can't download from hulu anymore

 

Forget it no the f*cking wonder people have a problem with you round here with a attitude like that. I asked a clear question all i wanted to know was if the standard install was sufficient or add a few more extra packages. I must of been seeing things when i installed it then and no im no noob at this kind of thing. Like ive told you before or have you forgot i can do what your script does quite easy under any Linux distro.

Next time ill not bother asking anything like many others in case big bad svnpenn bites their head off.

Re: can't download from hulu anymore

 

Apropos, I will quote Howard.

Re: can't download from hulu anymore

 

I agree with what Howard Chu said.
As a help seeker, I am grateful for what I have got from here.

I got the latest hulu.sh.
The zip packet seems to be much smaller.
Unzipping it, I renamed the folder svnetc, and put it into the cygwin folder.
And I put rtmpdump.exe, rtmpsuck.exe, rtmpsrv.exe into svnetc.

Running a hulu video on firefox, I ran the cygwin code, then the video stopped immmediately. Firefox said the plugins of adobe flash player have collapsed.
I replayed the video, and pressed the enter key as the code told me, the video stopped right away again with adobe plugins collapsed.
I got these:(NO printing results at all.)

Re: can't download from hulu anymore

 

It should be noted that my scripts require Firefox or Pale Moon browser.

Specifically they do not work with Internet Explorer.

I have added some error checking to this end

github.com/svnpenn/etc/commit/dce8
github.com/svnpenn/etc/commit/0410

Re: can't download from hulu anymore

 

Now the problem faces me is:whenever I run hulu.sh or rtmp-host.sh,the video being played will collapse immediately,no matter which browser I use, firefox or pale moon.


the screen shows:

the adobe flash plugin has crashed

Why is there a conflict between the browser and the code ?

Re: can't download from hulu anymore

 

The script kills flash player, for a clean dump. I have updated the warnings to reflect that.

github.com/svnpenn/etc/commit/fa20

Re: can't download from hulu anymore

 

I have tried the new hulu.sh .
The code is like this now:


$ hulu.sh
cygwin warning:
MS-DOS style path detected: \windows/system32/macromed/flash/mms.cfg
Preferred POSIX equivalent is: /cygdrive/c/windows/system32/macromed/flash/mms.cfg

Consult the user's guide for more details about POSIX paths:
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/usin...sing-pathnames
Killed flash player for clean dump.
Restart video then press enter here

Make choice. Avoid level3.


the browser still states :adobe flash plugin crashed.

Is there a way to solve this ?
If the script kills adobe flash plugin, how can the script work on hulu.com ?

Re: can't download from hulu anymore

 

This warning should be fixed now.

github.com/svnpenn/etc/commit/9c6f

As I said before, the script purposely kills the flash player, in order to
perform a clean memory dump. After flash player is killed, you simply need to
restart the video before continuing.

Re: can't download from hulu anymore

 

It still does not work here.
It seems to me that the script kills the video too soon to get any rtmpe stream.

As you can see, when the script reminds me to make a choice, it does not offer any choices at all.

The script doesn't catch anything before it stop the video.

I remember that when using rtmpsrv.exe, if it sniffed the stream ,the video was killed;If it didn't, the video kept going on smoothly.

Not like the case where I ran hulu.sh.It just directly ends the video with nothing collected.

Re: can't download from hulu anymore

 

Ok, I am going to explain it a third time.

The script kills the video on purpose, to perform a clean memory dump.

After this happens, you need to restart the video.

After the video has restarted, you can continue the script by pressing enter.

Re: can't download from hulu anymore

 

Thank you very much for your kindness and great patience.I really appreciate it.
