White screen with Hulu in TheaterView
« on: December 31, 2009, 12:26:26 am »
Most of the videos I try to play on Hulu while in Theater View result in a totally white screen.  I can replicate this on all 5 computers in my house.  Is anyone else having this issue?

All computers are running MC14 v.118 and Windows 7 64bit.  All computers are also using Nvidia graphics. 

Please help me....Hulu is my only source of "live" TV.

I used Hulu last night without a problem.  Does it work from a browser?

It works from a browser and in standard view, but not in Theater View which I really need for wife-approval-factor.

That sounds like a video driver issue.

You could also try updating DirectShow from Microsoft.  This cured a crash in Theater View for me when I bought a new Sony notebook.

I'm running the latest Nvidia drivers on 4 of the machines, but one has Intel graphics and it is doing the same thing.  I have Windows 7 and can't find a newer version of DirectShow.  I thought graphics driver too until the Intel GMA machine did it too.  Is there anything else that it might be?

Hulu requires a login/password for some movies.  I don't have one so I see a screen asking for one.  Do you have a login? 

It's possible that both Nvidia and Intel have trouble for some reason.  Not likely but possible.  Try a google search for similar problems.

I only get the white screen in theater view.  No problem in standard view, Firefox, IE, or Chrome.  All searches keep leading me back to my own thread.  It looks like it is happening to users of AppleTV too....could it be that Hulu is blocking access if not in a browser?

Issue resolved.  I use Firefox so I had never updated flash for IE.  That seemed to fix the problem and I'm sorry for the confusion.
