Hi, the same problem here, started some days ago. Was working for a year
without any problem. So, seems that hulu changed something...

Hulu+ has changed its CDNs. They all use SWFVerification type 2 now. Until
RTMPDump is fixed to handle that, there'll be no more ripping videos from
Hulu+.

I can confirm that this issue exists for "free" hulu episodes as well -
can't comment on Hulu Plus as I don't have it, but definitely not limited
to Hulu Plus.

Does anyone know if the rtmpdump people are working on this, or even aware
of it?

This is not a get-flash-vids problem - it is a RTMPDUMP problem. Hulu has
switched sitewide to SWF-verification v2 and RTMPDUMP only supports
verification v1.

The only solution is for someone to engineer a work around for version 2
and implement it into RTMPDUMP.

They are defiantly aware of it, I don't there is any activity though. Maybe
now that the type 1 fallback does not work someone will have to fix it out
of necessity.

Don't hold your breath for a type 2 update. They have known about it for a
long time. Very few are bright enough to figure it out and those that are
no longer want to work on the project. It is probably time to accept that
it is broken for good.

although the video from hulu can not be dumped, the function for subtitles
still worked fine until recently .

could anyone help to update the hulu.pm to get it to work again on
subtitles ?

Couldn't extract Flash movie URL. This site may need specific support
adding,

Please confirm the site is using Flash video and if you have Flash available
check that the URL really works(!).
