I downloaded the hulu app yesterday. It's the 64bit version. I had no issues with video performance. Liked how the buffer stayed full, even with high quality video. I am on FIOS though.
I really like the interface, just wish you could resize the image when not in full screen mode. BTW thanks for the tip Chris. I had to do the same (edit .huludesktop) to get it working. --Manny On Wed, Oct 14, 2009 at 10:07 PM, Chris Penn <[email protected]> wrote: > Well, sorry to hear you are unhappy with your flash performance..... > > A note about the installation.
