Hey, I have been searching everywhere on how to download hulu videos, and I have found something called, get_flash_videos. Below is a simple tutorial on how to get it working...

Code:

sudo yum -y install rtmpdump perl-XML-Simple perl-Compress-Zlib perl-Crypt-Rijndael perl-WWW-Mechanize

Once that stuff is installed you can go ahead and get 'get_flash_videos'.

Code:

 sudo wget http://get-flash-videos.googlecode.com/files/get_flash_videos-1.23 -O /usr/local/bin/get_flash_videos
sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/get_flash_videos

Now, install the hulu plugin..

Code:

get_flash_videos --add-plugin http://gitorious.org/get-flash-videos-plugins/gfv-plugins/blobs/raw/release/Hulu.pm

Download Examples below

Code:

get_flash_videos hulu simpons
get_flash_videos http://www.hulu.com/watch/146582/the-simpsons-the-bob-next-door

I tried it today, and everything worked great! For some reason, I can't watch Hulu videos using my browser (I just get a gray screen...any ideas?), but when I download them and play them in totem, they look nice. Thanks for the guide!
