    Yesterday www.hulu.com stopped playing clips, the site loads fine, but there is no player now.

    I have uninstalled / installed the latest flash 3 times. :mad:

    I suspect this has something to do with the recent AdBlock Plus Update, my friend's Hulu comes in fine, but she lives in Texas, and doesnt use AdBlock.

    I even went into Ubuntu Firefox, and its the same way, It's driving me crazy.

    Is anyone else having this issue with Hulu? And any suggestions? :confused:

    Go to Tools-ABP prefences...disable(untick) your ad block rules for "|http://www.hulu.com/*"(or some other variation). Then load up Hulu again.

    I just tried hulu.com and I am having no problems playing the videos.

    I am using Firefox 3.0.4 in Vista with Adblock Plus-newest version and Adblock is active on the site and no problems with playing the videos.

    Try disabling Adblock for hulu.com.

    I had a similar problem with sites using the Move Media Player. I finally figured out that I could get the videos to play by changing the LAN connection settings in Internet Options in the Control Panel to auto detect proxy settings.

    This fixed it, thanks. Even though it was set to allow in options, in was still filtered in prefs, :confused: weird.
