Also notion for the Hulu player

if any dev with some free time wants to make a nice amount of donations, I think a Hulu player would bring that in.

even if it was ****; i think it would be big

I wouldn't think it would be too different then the YouTube stand-alone player. Hulu, Google Video, and Youtube all use *.flv videos to stream the content. It seems like it would be a simple matter of changing the address to search. (Yes, I am aware that Google Video gives the option to download an *.mp4 file, which is just a renamed *.avi file since it has no DRM integrated). Heck, I see no concevable reason why there isn't a ""Streaming Web Video Player" with integrated search for Google Video, Youtube, Youku, and Hulu. (All sites use *.flv for streaming).

+1 on the hulu player but perhaps this post would be better placed in xda?

As a PPCGeek, may I just say OUCH!. There already is one there anyways, and it got about to the same place this thread is.

Oh yeah, +1. lol

if someone is willing 2 help the developer of w.d.v., he is willing 2 include hulu in that software. he cannot access hulu outside the usa.

As long as the standalone hulu player doesn't skip commercials, hopefully hulu will stay off the developers backs.

dont be so sure of yourself. Hulu doesnt allow 3rd party software to access hulu (over issues of copyright, outside US access, and other things) and a player would do such a thing. this will probably sit in the bin. sorry

Don't the youtube player apps use the .3gp streams? Hulu doesn't have a mobile version for their website, and as such a mobile app could only access flash video. This is the biggest reason IMO that there is no hulu app for ANY of the mobile platforms. That and Hulu doesn't like direct 3rd party feeds.
Boxee used to connect directly to Hulu via AppleTV, but Hulu asked them to stop. However, I am pretty sure there was a workaround. Not sure (I don't have an AppleTV/Boxee)
I hope I'm wrong, but until flash 10 appears on mobile devices OR Hulu embraces a mobile friendly format I doubt we'll see a good Hulu app.
