New Plex Beta Offers Hulu Support Just Fine

Mon, Feb 23rd, 2009

Mac OS X only: After all the hullabaloo last week about Hulu dropping support for Boxee, a new beta of Plex (another Mac XBMC port) drops, offering a working Hulu plug-in in its new App Store.

As a fan of the entire XBMC project, any new release on any platform is exciting, but besides the original Xbox version, I've spent the most time with Plex. (Here's a Plex writeup I did over at Macworld last October.) To install Plex plug-ins via the new App Store, install the latest beta version 0.7.8, and under Applications visit the store. There you can install apps–like the Hulu, YouTube, TED Talks, and TWiT viewers, for example–upgrade and restart them. Right now I'm streaming red carpet highlights from the Oscars last night thanks to Hulu through Plex without a hitch (or a hack). Nice work, Plex crew.
