http://www.fancast.com/ has all the same shows/streams (in fact is says Hulu while watching shows) and will play with amd64.


I'm seeing errors similar to Hulu (this is on content from Fox, e.g. Family Guy, so it's being sourced from hulu.com), anyways, interesting site, but no go for me.

I'm having the same problem in huludesktop. I use 64bit flash. I've tried telling huludesktop to use the 32 bit libs, only to have it tell me that flash is not installed. Is there a 32 bit version of desktop?

The huludesktop has been working fine here on amd64 for many weeks. I'm using huludesktop-0.9.4, from an ebuild under /usr/local/portage. There's a 0.9.3 ebuild there too and the contents are identical. I'm not sure where I got it from but it's short:

   ewarn "You need to add the following to ~/.${PN}:"
   ewarn "[flash]"
   ewarn "flash_location = /usr/$(get_libdir)/nsbrowser/plugins/libflashplayer.so"
}

I just checked my logs and I see that I installed 0.9.4 in early January.

With the latest update to adobe-flash-0.1.53.64 huludesktop has stopped working, giving an error message saying it can't find the flash plugin. I changed .huludesktop to make sure it is pointing to the new 32-bit libflashplayer.so but that didn't help.

Edit: I was able to get it to work again with the 32-bit flash plugin by emerging nspluginwrapper and changing the flash_location in ~/.huludesktop:
Code:
[flash]
flash_location = /usr/lib64/nsbrowser/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
