I'm sure many of you might have already heard that Boxee was forced to remove hulu as one of the content providers on their platform.  I do not and have never had access to the Boxee beta so I am not sure how it worked but I would imagine that they were directly linking into the video stream or some how making the stream play as a standard video and bypassing the hulu website all together.

 

All along I have insisted that I wanted to LINK to hulu's content... not provide their content in a totally different format.  If you think about what we are doing here we are really just consuming the the RSS feeds (that hulu openly provides) and linking to the episode pages on hulu's website... basically a big link engine... so hopefully that will differentiate us enough from Boxee and be the one thing that keeps our project going in the long run...

 

The very fact that we are linking to the hulu pages is what makes it difficult for us to put the content in full screen mode and automaticlly set the video to the 480 versions... I am working more on that system (the resolution independent idea just isn't going to work)... hopefully my next build will finally address full screen issues for EVERYONE.

 

Also... just to be prepaired for the worst I am going to start getting content from more sources... I will likly be going directly to the networks site where I can and also look at some other places as well... I will keep everyone posted...
