Hulu With Adobe Air – Very Close To Perfect
Spent a few minutes last night tinkering with this method of accessing Hulu using Adobe Air on a break I was taking from the usual grind. to be honest, it’s pretty cool and the eventual development path does look promising as you can see from the various screen shots from the above link.
Unfortunately despite it being a great approach to begin with, I was disappointed on one point with the application. For whatever reason, I did not seem to have success bringing things to a full screen. Yes, it does present the option of full screen. However, the reality is that it translates into about half of my screen and even at that, ends up with that half in the middle. Long story short, it is too small.
What makes this confusing as well as frustrating is that if I watch the same show on Hulu.com itself, this is not a problem. I can full screen the show and it will fill the screen as expected. This maybe something to do with how the videos are being served, not sure yet.
At the end of the day, I would still recommend watching this app. It’s a cool idea and I for one am looking forward to where it will end up next.
