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 -S pipelight
You can also use a later AUR tool such as yay to do the same thing:
yay -S pipelight
Install Pipelight Compatible Browser
Next, if you don’t already have it install firefox or other pipelight compatible browser:
sudo pacman -S firefox
Configuration
Next, update and configure pipelight:
sudo mkdir /root/.gnupg
sudo pipelight-plugin –update
Next, enable the flash plugin:
sudo pipelight-plugin –enable flash
Next, add the plugins to firefox:
sudo pipelight-plugin –create-mozilla-plugins
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 -S hal-flash-git
yaourt -S hal-info
This can once again be done using a better AUR tool as well:
yay -S hal-flash-git
yay -s hal-info
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.
