Don't know how long it'll be until Hulu finds some way to block this, it looks like they are already working on it, but if you download the new Skyfire update, then hulu should be able to watch videos on hulu!!!

When you navigate to the site, make sure you are in desktop viewing mode (not android or iphone) or else it won't work. The page will tell you you need Flash 10.0.2 or something like that, but don't worry about it. Just search for the video you want, then in the little video box in the menu at the bottom, the video will be there!

Note: the first time i tried it, the video loaded, then hulu told me that video was not supported for my device. I was disappointed, but for some reason gave it a second try, and voilla! it worked ... so if at first you get an error message, try again. However, this leads me to believe Hulu is already working on blocking this (although not entirely sure if it's possible for them to given the methods skyfire video uses in streaming through their own site, but it probably is so use this while you can!)
 
I was able to get Family Guy to work with no prob, but I could not get Castle to play (even after refresh tip provided above). I wonder if it's based on tv network (Fox vs ABC) :thinking:

its possible that the videos are being converted with different bitrate and formats by the content provider so this could effect the way skyfire's flash reads them.
