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

If the latest version does not support this please open a bug (or

Finally somebody reported this bug. I thought I was the only one that 
encountered this bug.

It looks like that Hulu has changed the "videos" program on their 
http://r.hulu.com/ that it no longer takes "content_id" as a acceptable 
variable. It apparently replies 404 error when illegal arguments were passed to 
it.

$ wget -U Mozilla -q -O - 
http://www.hulu.com/watch/300844/law-and-order-special-victims-unit-educated-gue
ss |grep content_id
    so.addVariable("content_id", 60004804);
$ wget -U Mozilla -q -S -O - http://r.hulu.com/videos?content_id=60004804
  HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found
  Retry-After: 0

By doing some digging tonight, fortunately, I found that it still accepts the 
"eid" argument:
$ wget -U Mozilla -q -O - 
http://www.hulu.com/watch/300844/law-and-order-special-victims-unit-educated-gue
ss |grep 'embed src=' |sed -e 's/.*embed src="\([^"]\+\)".*/\1/g'
http://www.hulu.com/embed/BOb38xCgmJxccy0nScbznA
$ wget -U Mozilla -q -O - http://r.hulu.com/videos?eid=BOb38xCgmJxccy0nScbznA 
|sed -e 's|.*\(<pid>.*</pid>\).*|\1\n|g'
<pid>NO_MORE_RELEASES_PLEASE_60004804</pid>

Based on my finding, I created a patch for a quick fix. Again, this patch is 
kind of a dirty hack, but it works for me,

Fixed in gitorious by merging a pull request on there. Run get_flash_videos 
--update to get the latest version.

Storm: thanks for your fix, in future please clone on gitorious 
(https://gitorious.org/get-flash-videos-plugins) and submit a merge request 
there as it's easier to merge and you can get credited for the fix (if you 
care). Please also comment on here though so people can find it. Also let me 
know if want to be added to gfv-hackers on gitorious so you push directly.

Roger that and will do. I've just created my account on Gitorious. It probably 
will take me some time to get used to the tools provided by Gitorious.
