SMIL output: $VAR1 = undef;

Error: Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at 
/loader/0x96dc2a8/FlashVideo/Site/Hulu.pm line 180.

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

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

Check for updates by running: /usr/bin/get_flash_videos --update

If the latest version does not support this please open a bug (or
contribute a patch!) at http://code.google.com/p/get-flash-videos/
make sure you include the output with --debug enabled.
Couldn't download any videos.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
get_flash_videos version 1.24 with lastest Hulu.pm plugin
32bit Ubuntu Linux 10.04

Please provide any additional information below.
According to the following post, Hulu just add some additinal parameters to 
their SMIL request:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=947981&postcount=698
And also from the following post, the "device_id" could be an empty string:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=948476&postcount=710

BlueCop on XBMC forum had fixed this problem in his branch of the XBMC Hulu 
plugin:
http://code.google.com/p/bluecop-xbmc-repo/source/detail?r=294

Based on his fix, I made a patch (see the attached file) that had been tested 
successfully on my system. The patch just adds the extra parameters to the SMIL 
request by giving an empty "device_id" string. This is kind of a dirty hack, 
but it works so far.

To apply this patch on Linux, download the patch into the 
.get_flash_videos/plugins in your home directory, and then invoke the patch 
command:
$ patch < Hulu.pm.patch

Thanks a million - I have verified. After this patch this works great on OS X 
Lion 10.7.2 with latest getflashvideos 1.24 and rtmpdump 2.4.

How do I apply the patch in Windows?

@Breuste:

I have never used get-flash-videos on Win32, so I'm not sure where the Hulu.pm 
will be located. You could try to do a file searching (hotkey: Win-F) to find 
the correct location. Once you find it, save the patch file to that location, 
open a command prompt, and apply the patch using the "patch" windows porting by 
GnuWin32 project:

http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/patch.htm

The command line should be pretty much the same with that of Linux.

Fixed in git on gitorious - 83976f4a. Run get_flash_videos --update to get the 
latest version. Thanks to storm for the patch.
