More hulu problems?

**fathom614** · 05-24-2010, 08:33 PM

I'm running froyo 2.2 with flash player and it's been great. I love the fact that with the about:debug I can watch hulu videos on my nexus one. Today however I've been getting the not supported on my platform error popping up. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem as me. I checked and did the about debug trick more than once and am still getting the error. Is there any fix/solution to this?

Nope. Because all the wonderful sites like Engadget and Gizmodo decided to make a huge deal out of it, Hulu was able to block it again. There will be no fix or workaround, so don't bother asking.

Licensing. The content partners that own hulu do not want their content streaming on these devices just yet.

Looks like paid app for us android users, that is if they decide to do that to. Who knows.

Probably not paid. It may be a native app like Netflix on the iPad, but I doubt it would be a paid one.

Hulu needs to do something because its just wrong that they blocked us mobile users.

How's it wrong? They license the content, and their licensing terms do not allow for mobile playback at this point. It was wrong to try and go around the blocks put into place, so I don't understand why anyone is surprised that Hulu found a way to block them again.
