Hulu on Linux?

[Ockie]

Hi guys. So thanks to Sinbad I started using Unotelly so I can watch the Rugby World Cup. I today tried to use Hulu, but in Chrome it says my browser does not support copy protection and I should try Firefox, which I then did, but then it says my flash is out of date. Tried to download latest flash from Adobe, but does not seem to work in Ubuntu? Software centre does not pick it up.

Have you guys got a easy way to get it working?

With firefox you should see a no entry sign:



... click on "Activate Adobe Flash" and you should get a pop-up top left to activate once or permanently for the site you're on.

Unfortunately when firefox releases an update you'll need to do it all again

It seems I did not have the flash plugin installed for Firefox. I thought it comes installed automatically? DOINK! It now takes me to the signup page for a free month trial, but need my credit card and it is in my wallet in the car. Once I have mustered up the strength to walk to the garage and fetch it I will try again. Thank you guys. Gosh ... feel like a right idiot.

Whoa - you shouldn't need to pay for the plugin!

Fedora guy myself but here's a howto for Ubuntu - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash

no no .... sign up for Hulu wants my credit card before I can start free trial

Adobe flash for linux is very old, chrome has more up to date flash.

Are you using Chrome or Chromium? Chrome has pepper flash built in, chromium not.

Install Fresh Player Plugin + Pepper Flash

I am using Chrome. Hulu said chrome does not support copyright protection or something so it does not work on it.
