I believe this to be a message indicating that either the videos you want to 
watch are no longer on their servers, have been moved to another server and not 
properly linked, or maybe even due to server downtime or maintenance.  I was 
trying to rewatch a video today that played perfectly fine a few days ago, only 
to get the same message saying "Your access to play this content has expired. 
This content is unavailable for playback."  There's no way for it to expire, it 
was a totally free video. I can view others I've never watched before posted by 
Hulu (on DailyMotion) but others I've previously watched are also giving the 
same problem.  I really hope it's not some form of DRM that notices your IP has 
seen a video already and decided to cut you off...

I am using XBMC 11 on Windows. Standard Hulu content works fine. However, I 
cannot watch any content if "Enable Login" is checked. Therefore, I cannot 
access Hulu Plus Content.

I've entered username and password are correct.

Hulu Plus works fine when I use a web browser.

The full log is attached. It seems the important part is below.

It's getting HTTP 403 forbidden. Either the URL is incorrect or the 
authentication is not working. I've triple checked my username/password.
