On second thought, just set /etc/adobe/mms.cfg to: EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1 OverrideGPUValidation=true -------- Original Message --------
Don't need flash-aid, just do this: wget http://updates.webgapps.org/flashplayer32 && tar xvf *flash* libflashplayer.so Set 'flash_location =' in .huludesktop. (maybe even a bash script to switch between the two) Then, do this: cat /etc/adobe/mms.cfg | sed '/EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1/d' | sudo tee /etc/adobe/mms.cfg And see if things improve. Let me know if you notice any stability issues. & yes, I WILL get this up on the wiki someday soon. On a side rant, Boxee runs terribly for me; I hope they continue to develop huludesktop. If hulu wants people to stop using rtmpdump, they will have much more luck by offering huludesktop than relying on flash to create more complicated SWFverification.
