Does anyone know how to play videos from sites like Hulu ? Thanks

[tyleman08]

Could you be more specific on what exactly you want to do with Hulu?Do you want to stream Hulu videos directly on your BB or what exactly did you have in mind?

I would like to stream Hulu videos right to my Storm2. If I can't do that I would like to download them and play em on it. Either way would be awesome.

Hey Trinity

As far as I know, there is no way to stream Hulu shows directly on your BB, and anyways as far as I've read in some articles today only on that new Ipad might be possible to stream Hulu shows directly, but these are just rumours and nobody knows if this will indeed happen.

What you can do is record and save Hulu videos on pc and convert and transfer them afterwards to your BB. Some time ago it was possible to record Hulu shows with just an ordinary flash video recorder, but this is not possible anymore for Hulu because they added some encryption to their video streams and Hulu uses now RTMP-e format for their video streams.

Now in order to record and save Hulu shows what you need to get yourself is an app that has screencapture functions and it is able to capture video streaming from Hulu.One app that is perfect for this job is Tunebite, I myself upgraded to the new version some time ago and to my surprise, it had a whole bunch of new functions to capture RTMP-e videos and download or record video streams from a lot of web sites like YouTube,Facebook, Myspace, Netflix and others.
If you're interested in using Tunebite Hulu Downloader to record and save Hulu shows, I think this tutorial on how to download videos at Hulu will definitely help you:

Thanks Tyleman for your detailed response. I will definitely look into this. I have also heard that Tversity will allow you to do this by gathering the content to your PC and then serving it to your BB, PS3, 360, etc over wifi or the net through a web-based browser. I use Tversity for media streaming to my PS3, but never tried it for streaming to my Storm2.

I will let you know what I find.

Report back to this thread if someone can make this work.

Well Trinity, didn't hear about that Tversity app you mentioned but dunno what to say. From what you said that one does not record Hulu shows but it merely streams them to you BB over wifi or something like that.
I think it is way better to be able to record and save Hulu videos to pc. This way you can just transfer the Hulu videos on your BB and watch them whenever you want, you will not be conditioned by the necessity of an working internet connection.

I cant do it either.

Don't quote me on this..I'm almost positive this may not work...but at least someone try it. I'm still waiting for my new storm 2. So haven't tried it either.

Since BB doesn't support flash...sites like youtube or hulu shouldn't be playable. You are able to stream youtube's mobile site...but cannot use the full youtube site with BB's...well at least it won't stream the video...

However, I saw a picture of storm 2 on another web site which was reviewing it. And it had storm 2 running Bolt browser which was streaming youtube from it's full blown site..not the mobile site. I'm not sure if this photo was photoshopped or what...but if this is possible, then hulu should be playable as well...

Again, I haven't tried it...and I'm leaning towards this not being the right solution. I heard Adobe may be releasing flash support for BB..but currently it isn't available...if this browser is able to stream flash vids..I'm not sure how that can be possible...

I'd think that since BB's have the worse browser of all devices, downloading and trying out an alternative browser would be OK even if it didn't stream flash vids...so I was going to try this myself next week when I get my new storm 2...

If anyone tries this, please post whether it works or not...Thank you...

BTW..I heard netflix may provide stream service to iphone...anyone know if this may be true for BB's as well?
