    Question Video stream from hulu

    I used to use a site hulu.com to watch movies and TV shows now I get a warning that I can't stream bandwidth low.
    I laugh because I test and have decent at 19mbps down speed
    Does anyone else have this issue?
    Well actually I know of one but anyone on this Forum?
    I have no issue with youtube or metacafe or several other sites
    Any suggestions???

    Is this with the site or the desktop client (or both?).

    Your instructions look good. Only things that seems like they would degrade bandwidth would be something like an awful wifi connection, though I imagine you aren't using something like an old wireless b router (yea it's 11 Mbit/s, but lots of interference in most households/workplaces).

    Aside from that, I am out of ideas. Perhaps HULU maps out where your IP is from and decides your speed based on location? I would check out the desktop client and see if it still happens. Whend di the issue start( was it grabbing the flash alpha that was just released, yea it's been out for a while but it was actually patched a few days ago)?

    I haven't updated flash lately and I will try the desktop

    Wireless is N so no issues there
    subroute and route are cloned so it resolves one as the other in/out up/down

    This issue I noticed a few weeks ago
    but all other video sites work fine

    And other systems not even on the same network have similar issues

    Re: Video stream from hulu

    Now this is quite interesting
    The hulu desktop software actually states

    gtk2.0 v2.12+, but only Fedora 9+ and Ubuntu 8.04+ are supported.

    You must have Adobe Flash Player 9.0.124 or higher installed. If you can
    load and watch videos on Hulu.com
    , you should be able to use Hulu Desktop
    I have contacted hulu but have not received response yet

    Would anyone know where I might watch episodes of "House"

    Thanks
