    Hulu interface not responsive

    Hi, using a Wildebeest with 64bit Ubuntu.

    Hulu videos play fine, but I cannot use any buttons (to pause/make full screen/change quality). The buttons are just non-responsive, but if I hover over a button it will light up like normal. Tried youtube, that worked fine. This is after the one big update session after booting up for the first time and restarting.

    EDIT: huh, youtube does not respond either. Plays fine, so I guess this is a flash problem.

    What flash are you using? I am using the alpha 64-bit plugin from here, and I've had no problems with Hulu or YouTube.

    My flash is flaky too. Work-around: Right click and keep the right button down. Now click as needed with the left. Kludgy, but effective....

    Sudo,

    I followed the instructions at http://helpforlinux.blogspot.com/200...in-ubuntu.html which fixed the problem. I don't know how it works though, so gedit at your own risk.

    sudo apt-get install libadns1

    That should fix the flash clicking problem.

    same problem. libadns1 didn't help. running 10.04 64bit. I can watch vimeo perfectly, but youtube normal or embedded does not work, meaning i can watch the videos but get no reaction from the ui.


    [EDIT]*but the right-click-hold-left-click hack works.. [/EDIT]

    How did you all get Hulu to work on 64 bit? I haven't been able to use Hulu except in the Desktop client for months. I'm still getting the incompatibility error message on every attempt to play a video. I'm using fresh-installed Lucid with the official 64 bit flash plugin.

    It's a Flash and/or Hulu issue. I've seen that many other people, including myself, have the same problem. There hasn't been much of a fuss about it though, probably because Hulu Desktop works really well.
