Serviio

Note that it looks like RSS feeds are now discontinued at Hulu, so this plugin will not work.

Plugin for feeds from hulu.com. Requires at least Serviio 0.6.1.

WOW!!

This is great work ZIP! Absolutely fantastic! Works Super!
Thanx!

So... anyway to make Hulu Plus work with this. As said above it is already super as it is, but for us who already have Hulu Plus it would of course be kool if it would work with the plugin as well.

Anyway, thanx for the great work you've put in to Serviio and all things surounding it!

I assume there is some kind of login required. That is not possible with the plugins currently.

Yes login required. Well nevermind, it is alredy super as it is.

Wonder why some Hulu feeds work for me when others don't.

Examples:

These work:
http://www.hulu.com/feed/show/58/episodes
http://www.hulu.com/feed/show/2103/episodes

These don't ("There is no playable file"):
http://www.hulu.com/feed/show/12/episodes
http://www.hulu.com/feed/show/172/episodes

All are Source Type Online RSS/Atom Feed
All work with Google Reader

Windows 7
Sony BDP-S570
Alabama, USA

is there anything in the log?

More in the log than I can decipher, but this may be relevant:

2012-01-09 15:01:28,658 WARN [FeedUpdaterThread] An error occured while scanning for online item information, will continue
java.io.IOException: Cannot parse resource from http://www.hulu.com/released/episodes?h ... has_free=1. Message: Error during feed parsing : Invalid XML: Error on line 282: The element type "link" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</link>".

looks like a dodgy XML feed

Zip I had to reinstall everything do to a harddrive crash that took out my OS.

I installed 0.6.1, copied the plugins to the plugin directory. tried 4 different rss links from HULU none of them worked. I will post any errors when I get home from work today. The links I tried was for wipeout, 16 and pregnant, The lying Game. I do not remember the last. But I will post the information in the log this afternoon.

Are you in US?

yes, ohio

check the log

I turned on detailed logging and got this log info for one of the Hulu shows (Emergency) which won't work with Serviio but does work with Google reader:

Any ideas on what may be causing the errors?

Updated the plugin in the first post, try it now.

Installed latest hulu plugin and still get the above.

try running ffmpeg -i "rtmp url", eg:



from the above log. Note that this URL will be probably expired by now so refresh the feed and get a fresh url from the log.

Thanks so much for updating the Hulu plugin! All of the Hulu RSS fees that I have tried are now working. Looks like Hulu is limiting the number of episodes available via Rss through Serviio and other DLNA servers to the 20 or 25 most recent, leaving a large percentage of some shows still unavailable via Serviio. I'm still not having any success with live streams of US based http feeds. Most recent attempt gave this result:

2012-01-12 20:01:52,299 WARN [FeedUpdaterThread] Failed to retrieve online item information for http://www.imdb.com/video/hulu/vi4018208793/. It might not play.
java.io.IOException: org.serviio.library.local.metadata.extractor.InvalidMediaFormatException: Unknown video file type.

Do I understand correctly that live feeds are not plugin dependent?

I'm having the same problem, here's my log



edit: just to say I am in the US and have no problem with Hulu in a browser.

From above:


wonder if this is the problem?

rtmp version is probably not compatible with the server side.
