Hulu has released Hulu Desktop for Linux. It currently supports 32 and 64 bits Fedora 11 and Ubuntu 9.04. Hulu might extend the support for other Linux distributions based on the feedback they get from Hulu desktop disucssion forum. To run Hulu desktop in Linux, you need to have Adobe flash player 9.0.124 or above.
Hulu Desktop depends on the following libraries or packages:
- GTK+ 2.12 or higher
- GLib 2.16 or higher
- LIRC 0.8.2 or higher (required for remote control functionality)
According to Hulu, Hulu Desktop for Linux supports input from hundreds of infrared remote controls using the LIRC open source package. You can download LIRC and receive general configuration information from http://www.lirc.org, as well as browse a list of supported remote controls. Hulu Desktop for Linux requires that lircd be run with the -r (–release) switch.
You can also configure Hulu Desktop’s LIRC hardware interface, key mappings, and more by modifying the remote section of ~/.huludesktop. For more information, refer to /usr/share/doc/huludesktop/README.
