Simple Plug-in Brings Hulu to Your XBMC


If you're sporting a modded Xbox with XBMC and you're envious of its cousin Boxee's native Hulu streaming, rejoice! A plug-in can bring The Office and other NBC/Fox shows to the Xbox Media Center.

If you're not already the pleased owner of a modded and media-centered xbox, check out how to transform your classic Xbox to get started. If you're already there, it's time to do a little tinkering and bring streaming Hulu videos right to your living room. The Missing Remote community has a detailed guide for doing just that.

The gist: Download the latest release of XBMC from T3CH and update your build. Depending on the release you have, you might be able to update directly through the Xbox itself.

After updating, download the XBMC plug-in for Hulu. FTP into the root of your XBMC install and put the Hulu plug-in inside the directory /Plugins/Video/. Now when you access the main menu of XBMC you can go to Videos -> Video Plugins -> Hulu and watch all the streaming video you can stand right from your couch. Thanks reeflections!
