Hulu Desktop for Linux
Installation
I installed Hulu Desktop for Linux on my Linux Mint 8 virtual machine. On the Hulu site there are two download options:
1. Fedora
2. Ubuntu
Since Linux Mint 8 is an Ubuntu remaster, I downloaded the Ubuntu package.
Installation Steps:
1. Download the Hulu Desktop for Linux package.
2. Click the package to open the package installer.
3. Run the installer.
4. Agree to the end user license agreement.
That was it for the install. It was very easy and very fast.
After it concluded, the Hulu desktop application opened and a very cool video of some fighter jets called “Speed and Angels” began playing. The sound and video looked great in Linux Mint 8. I didn’t need to do anything to get the video to play or the sound to work.
The Hulu install was quick and painless in Linux Mint 8.
After the install finished, the Hulu application appeared in the Sound & Video application menu.

I think the UI for hulu desktop is absolutely horrible.
It takes forever to get to the content. I have tried to make myself use it several times and I keep going back to viewing the content through the browser.
Kudos to hulu for releasing a Linux version, but shame on them for releasing a UI nightmare!
Well my take on it is that it is a waste of an IP address:
“Sorry, currently our video library can only be streamed from within the United States”
@ Roger:
Agreed!
