HI, 1. If I goto hulu.com in mythbrowser I can't quit. Escape takes me to a bookmark screen, but I can't leave that screen. 2. The cursor disappears, which makes browsing difficult. Any suggestions? hints? Thanks! |

Maybe it has to do with flash? Would firefox be better? I think there is a way to change from the internal webkit browser to firefox. Hulu desktop seems to be missing shows that I can see from a web browser, fyi. That is why I am trying to use a broswer. Also the subtitles work in a browser, but not hulu desktop. |

There is a setting to do this. Not sure where it is in the menu but it's certainly in the database. I would just log in to the database and change it in there. Mike |

There is a setting to set the mouse cursor to disappear or not. It's in the mythtv setup menu under general I believe but what I have found more helpful is two things one ctl alt u unhides the mouse cursor for you. and second is this post http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic. ... highlight= |

Thanks! Flash is a problem. With the web mythfrontend setup for /usr/bin/firefox.bin %URL%, the mythfrontend will launch its bookmarks, but if one tries for have flash use full screen it crashes firefox :<( Firefox currently seems to work best if I quit mythfrontend, at least with flash. The 'internal' -- not 'Internal' webkit browser has a problem quitting, pkill xinit seems the only way. |

I have flash working on mine. It's LinHES 6.03 and it will do full screen, so it's definitely possible. If it were happening to my machine, I would start firefox from an xterm and duplicate the problem. Crash errors should then be printed on the terminal. |

try reinstalling firefox and flash to the newest versions do a Code: sudo pacman -Sy firefox flashplugin
and it will install the shiretoko (firefox) to launch firefox hit alt w (as in web browser) escape usually gets you out of full screen flash mode F11 puts firefox in to a menubarless mode give it a shot |

First, thanks for helping. Next, I was wrong about the Huludesktop, it has captions but they are turned off. There are many features which can be turned on and off. I downloaded the Ubuntu 32 bit deb and put it in /tmp, then did an install_hulu.sh command. It upgraded it, BUT set the volume to 0. I thought it broke sound output, but it just set volume to 0. That took a while to figure out that the sound was working, but set to 0. I also got the remote working, I had to edit the .huludesktop file. I have the streamzap remote, and this is what I put in: Code: [remote]
lirc_device = /dev/lircd lirc_remote_identifier = Streamzap_PC_Remote lirc_release_suffix = _UP lirc_repeat_threshold = 10 button_name_up = UP button_name_down = DOWN button_name_left = LEFT button_name_right = RIGHT button_name_select = OK button_name_menu = MENU Again, it took some time to figure out that I had to set those exact parameters, I had just used streamzap, which did not work. I also put a flyspray ( or whatever it is now) request to change /etc/unclutter.cfg parameters and add all the keystrokes like control-w to the help screen. There are new ones I learn all the time. So Hulu is working pretty good with the remote. The subscribe and queue features are pretty useful too! |
