Hulu won't work with latest adobe 64 bit plugin

I haven't tried hulu.com on any of my linux systems until yesterday. When I try to play videos on my main installation (slackware64-current) with adobe flash-plugin 10.0.45.2 I get an error saying that this MIGHT be due to limitations with adobe flash for linux 64. The same videos work for a 32 bit slack install with plugin 10.1.

I'm just trying to confirm that hulu.com won't work with 64bit flash for linux or find a starting place for troubelshooting.

So is it working for anyone else or not?

Nope. 64 bit flash is broken with Hulu. There's many threads around the net about it. I know some people report that strangely, huludesktop still works.

I ended up installing the 32 bit flashplayer on my 64 bit box using nspluginwrapper, and it worked ok then.

EDIT: Thread for someone who got 32 bit flash working in Slackware 64.

EDIT again: The poster there couldn't find a nspluginwrapper package for Slackware, but there is one here: http://connie.slackware.com/~alien/s...pluginwrapper/
