So I've downloaded the boxee source code, to investigate how they handle hulu playback.<br><br>Sadly, the component responsible for hulu playback is a binary file they distribute called bxflplayer-linux<br><br>According to the boxee forums, this is closed source and they intend to keep it that way.<br>
<br>PlayOn is of course a Windows product and closed source, so that's not going to help us much in bringing native hulu support to MythTV.<br><br>The only other potential open source code I know of that supports hulu is neuros.<br>
According to this post: <a href="http://forums.neurostechnology.com/index.php?topic=8973.0">http://forums.neurostechnology.com/index.php?topic=8973.0</a><br>There is a google summer of code project that has support for hulu.<br>
This may be this project: <a href="http://wiki.neurostechnology.com/index.php/Summer_of_Code_2008/N-Tube_FLV_Browser">http://wiki.neurostechnology.com/index.php/Summer_of_Code_2008/N-Tube_FLV_Browser</a><br><br>I'm going to try and track down the source for neuros and dig into how they are actually playing Hulu content to determine if it truly is open source... or not.<br>
