I have the same problem. I found
https://plus.google.com/+KeithBarrett/posts/WEvH1dDvWv2 and I thought it was going to be the answer. Now I'm here and I see I'm not alone.
They still have the page
http://www.hulu.com/feed Those rss feeds used to work, but not anymore.
The show_id in the source is the same number that is in the old rss feed links.
If you put
http://www.hulu.com/feed/show/182/episodes into your browser, you will see the feed displayed, so there is data in the feed. We just need to figure out how to extract the video list again.

There is a plug-in now for CBS, ABC & CW to stream their shows. We just need one for NBC & FOX to stream their shows and we'd have the main networks. This would be an alternative to most of the shows that Hulu streams. Does anyone know if creating plug-ins for NBC & FOX is feasible especially if the fix for Hulu is more complicated than expected?

I updated the plugin. Let me know if it helps or if there are still some videos missing.

That's great zip. Are you going to tell us where you put it?
I assumed it was in the plugin pack, so I got the new one and put it in, but I didn't notice any change in the code when I looked at it with notepad and it doesn't seem to fix the Hulu problem either.

Not sure if it's just me... it seems that with the new plug-in, I can watch Hulu movies for around 1 hr or so.

wondering if its time to have an all new groovy (or alternate one) for Hulu that took advantage of the 'grid'.
eg.
http://www.hulu.com/grid?name=episodes&from=/lost-in-spacerss
http://www.hulu.com/feed/search?fs=0&query=Lost+in+Space&sort_by=relevance&st=0&type=episodeInstead of using RSS to gather a series, it would be better to turn the groovy into a web-resource, so we could actually get every episode avaible instead of the last 25 in the list.

Similar to a couple weeks ago before the Hulu plugin was updated, I have again suddenly lost all Hulu feeds after working yesterday. Anyone else noticing this?

This is a great site, but since yesterday the Hulu feeds have not worked. I have gotten all of my web resource (ie. CBS (US) shows to work, but things that I was able to see last week (White Collar - USA) are visible but no programs. This is true for all Hulu feeds. Any suggestions?

I have a lot of problems streaming things that need to be transcoded.
An hour of Hulu will easily create a temp file over a gigabyte in size for transcoding. I wonder if your temp file gets too large and something crashes? Is there enough free drive space? Does it stop playing when the temp file reaches the same size every time with different files? I think some of the Hulu files are just bad. I've seen some that will die in the exact same place every time. Some might be 50 minutes in and others might be 3 min. after starting.
I can never resume, skip forward or backward in a Hulu file. It will cause it to hang every time and it has to restart. All I can do is pause it.
I seem to have problems with anything that needs to be transcoded. Is your problem just Hulu or do other sources that need to be transcoded have the same problem? I could give you more details, but this is already getting off topic for this thread. I've been trying to figure this out for about 10 months now.

Thanks for your response,
jctoadUnfortunately, I do not have any other source with movies. Live streams seem to play fine. Crackle movies stop after anything between 5-15 mins.
I checked my PC logs and no errors seen. Plenty of free space. The OS is Win7-64bit.
