Description Carter Young 2013-12-03 03:48:11 UTC
Reason: As of 12/3/2013, Hulu Desktop plays ~45 seconds of previews/shows in desktop player and crashes with the "Unexpected Error" Dialog.


Please remove huludesktop-bin from tree, Request 30 day notification and Hard Masking, as recent versions of flash will not coopewrate with hulu-desktop.  Hulu and Hulu Plus work perfectly Fine in recent Browsers such as Firefox, aleviating the need for package, until Hulu updates player upstream/

According to the New URL, support has been discontinued.  This may also explain the issue.

if upstream has killed it, then there's no interest in figuring things out.  not that there was in the first place ... it's a binary-only package.
