Since I am having problems getting 32-bit Opera on my 64-bit system to recognize the 32-bit flash plugin even though everything is correctly installed and all dependencies resolved, I decided to give your suggestion a try. The 64-bit Huludesktop app downloaded, installed and worked just fine as soon as I told it where the 64-bit flash plugin was. As with you, it was the same plugin that DIDN'T work with Firefox or Opera. (I find it strange that the same plugin will work in one case and not the other.) I do need, however, to make the app's display larger: The thumbnails are too small making navigation difficult. (I, too, like the Hulu website better for navigation. Faster. More browse-able.) Unfortunately, Huludesktop is not a "fix" for me, but a "work-around." I mostly use Fancast.com, which streams some stuff through Hulu, for my TV/movie viewing mainly because Fancast "remembers" the position you are in the stream in case there are problems and you have to reload. Or Firefox crashes. ;-) However, for the few programs I watch that stream through Hulu, I can live with Huludesktop or just go to Fox or SyFy and watch them there. Or use a 32-bit distro running in a VM. Thanks for the input.
