Introduction

Hey everyone, I’ve figured out how to get Hulu.com working on Arch Linux today. Here’s what I did in case anyone else needs help.

Install Pipelight

First install pipelight:

yaourt

You can also use a later AUR tool such as yay to do the same thing:

yay -S

Install Pipelight Compatible Browser

Next, if you don’t already have it install firefox or other pipelight compatible browser:

sudo pa

Configuration

Next, update and configure pipelight:

sudo mk

Next, enable the flash plugin:

sudo pi

Next, add the plugins to firefox:

sudo pi

Please note, if you’re using a pipelight compatible browser other than mozilla, you’ll need to determine how to install the pipelight plugins specifically for that browser.

Open The Pod Bay Doors Hal

Lastely, make sure you have hal installed:

yaourt

This can once again be done using a better AUR tool as well:

yay -S

Once you’ve completed the steps above, completely kill of firefox (Super+Q), then restart and browse to Hulu.com, you should be able to watch it with no problems.

Conclusion

This worked well for me in terms of getting Hulu to act correctly. Please let me know if you run into any problems and I’ll do what I can to help. Good luck.
