Enable Hulu On PS3 With Workaround

A few days after blocking PlayStation 3 users, Hulu has yet to respond to questions concerning the change which has only helped to fuel rumors it is related to the Microsoft ad campaign currently featured on the site, but that seems less likely now that we've confirmed it also began blocking the Flash-enabled Skyfire browser on Windows Mobile devices at the same time. Whatever the cause is, if you prefer a homegrown hack over something like PlayOn or TVersity, Eric over at ypass.net has put together a simple enough walkthrough for creating an "unblockable" workaround by setting up a locally connected PC running Linux or Windows with the freely available Squid proxy server software that will make your PS3 look like appear as a PC running a Firefox (or whatever you prefer) browser to any website that asks. Of course, just like the other solutions your computer will need to stay running to keep you connected, but Engadget figures it's a small price to pay for enjoying relatively low res Flash video running on an HDTV.

Quote from article "it's a small price to pay for enjoying relatively low res Flash video running on an HDTV."

Basically asking us to stfu

FamilyGuy6160d ago

I LMAO

Anyone got a link to a free site, that host high quality videos, that playable on the ps3s web browser. Things like dailymotion and youtube but with nice quality

mistajeff6160d ago

Hmm.. now it's began blocking this flash-enabled skyfire thang? I'm starting to get suspicious here. I keep reading stuff about how MS is trying to usurp Flash with Silverlight. First a Sony platform, then an Adobe platform get locked out? This is starting to get fishy.

El_Colombiano6160d ago

Hi there. You must be new to the concept and business of Microsoft. For a quick reference, consult a dictionary and look up "Monopoly" in terms of business practices.

mistajeff6160d ago

lol, I was just trying to broach the subject gently...

Proxy6160d ago

Although I despise such conspiracies, if Hulu wants to side with MS and drop support of flash, then I'll find another service.

As the saying goes:

"I'll keep my money, you keep your product, and we'll see who loses at the end of the day."

Godmars2906160d ago

Not really going to matter if the general public picks it up. Which most in the US probably will. But I'm also guessing that a lot of Europe and Asia wont touch Silverlight.

darthv726160d ago

Seems the best workaround is for sony to release a silverlight plugin for the ps3 browser. Hulu looks to be transitioning to sil verlight (rumor) because it can offer equal or better results at less bandwidth requirements.

Godmars2906160d ago

Not that they couldn't, but I'm sure MS would love that.

Not that MS probably doesn't get money for WMP playback on PS3.

Megaton6160d ago

Microsoft: No matter what your parade is, we'll rain on it.

I couldn't watch highlights of the Olympics last year because of Silverlight. Wouldn't install properly at the NBC website that had become infected with Microsoft's cancerous Flash knockoff as the 'exclusive' viewing device.

Godmars2906160d ago

Since when haven't there been shows on Youtube? I'm watching the Justice League cartoons. Sucks that they're in parts but its only a 30 second break between them.

Megaload isn't too bad either - if their search engine wasn't crap that is.

rockleex6160d ago

You can only watch for a certain amount of time.

gamesR4fun6159d ago

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle15d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7714d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Relientk7723d ago

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga23d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit23d ago (Edited 23d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199222d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga22d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac22d ago (Edited 22d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman22d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger22d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box23d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion22d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7223d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7523d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit23d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14923d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7723d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
