@Rich: Audio with no video means that Hulu has changed their site around. Expect an update shortly

Hi I’m having an odd issue with Hulu, audio plays but the video does not. Strangest thing is that it happens both on my mini and my macbook. Ted works though.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks

Sparkle is on the same round robin system as the manual website downloads, we try and disable slow mirrors but it’s not always possible. As you noted most of our mirrors are really fast and will provide 500K+ downloads but sometimes one gets swamped.

We’ll be resolving the issue with Safari plug-ins shortly.

A possible solution for folks who can’t get Hulu to work:

I was never able to get Hulu to work even after removing all plugins from my */Library/Internet Plugins folders. Then I remembered ClickToFlash. Uninstalling ClickToFlash worked like a charm!

Apparently even though I’d put Hulu in ClickToFlash’s whitelist, it was causing some sort of interference with the Media Server. I might try installing the latest version of CtF and seeing if I can whitelist the Media Server itself; maybe that will help. ‘Cause choosing between CtF and Plex is not an easy thing.

Anyway, maybe the devs have some brilliant idea about how to solve this problem.

has anyone else noticed that the auto-update download is incredibly slow?

i was getting something like 2kbps downloading 079 via sparkle.

http download of 0710 is going about about 600kbps.

Matt> You can use a VPS for less than $7/month and use it as a private proxy (among other services…):

Elan> Great! Still no need for plugins mirroring?
Will be glad to help…!

Plugins rule, it’s shame the cool stuff is US only. How long can they keep that up…
