First step: install this

http://code.google.com/p/get-flash-videos/

Then install the hulu plugin. Done.

Thank you kindly, Hyc!

If I may offer some additional instructions:

get_flash_videos --add-plugin http://gitorious.org/get-flash-videos-plugins/gfv-plugins/blobs/raw/release/Hulu.pm

You will also require libcrypt-rijndael-perl, which is easily obtained.

Enjoy it while it lasts, Hulu is likely reading this right now. Watch the commercial anyway and don't share the videos. I, for instance, only download so I can watch it without stutters.

Agreed. Hulu is pretty quick to react when they see posts like this. Oh well, I wonder how many hours until this is broken again.

Funny, I actually like the Hulu commercials, they're a lot less intellectually offensive than what's on my cable TV. I watch bunches of them at once. But I watch them separately from the actual shows - interruptions are annoying, no matter how cleverly they're written. And yes, I only use this because the videos are unwatchable using the crap Adobe software.

Note to Hulu, and other media execs: you already got my money in my cable subscription fees. Don't make me regret paying you, otherwise I'll just cancel that too.

That is odd, other vid's work.

I get:

rtmpdump: ERROR: RTMP_ReadPacket, failed to read RTMP packet header
Download failed, no valid file downloaded

If I get a chance, I'll try to figure out what's different.

Thanks. That is odd, seems to work now. The changes you noted were pushed by monsieurvideo a month ago, so I don't think that is it.
