Re: Hulu.com and 64-bit Problem?
I did try scaling the desktop and it does work for varying values of work. (Thanks Michael!) Although I especially hate the we're going to start up things with a running trailer for 'Karate Kid 2' before you even get logged in so you can reduce the volume or mute it tactic. Wonderful for working environments, even if it is your lunch hour^H^H^H^ 42 minutes you want to waste. Have you seen the new error message at Hulu blaming Adobe? It doesn't fly, especially considering the Desktop does work with the same damn plugin. Anyway, I digress and am off-topic. -- Chris Kloiber On 03/04/2010 05:36 PM, Patrick Bartek wrote: --- On Thu, 3/4/10, Chris Kloiberckloi...@ckloiber.com wrote: Ah yes, but it's a bitc^H^H^H^H bit difficult to control/find your desired content, and I don't think it will scale to a tiny always on top window in the corner of your desktop so you can work while watching, similar to the popout feature.

I did, however, try to use the website and it did not work for me (fedora 12 64-bit). -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

I use Huludesktop with 64-bit flash plugin, the exact same plugin that is used on Firefox that doesn't work on hulu.com. I know this because the huludesktop has a config file .huludesktop that requires the user to point it to the flash plugin. The huludesktop works fine also. I like the website navigation better, but at least it works if I know what I am looking for.
