Hulu Working ( Again ) on AppleTV2

 

Back in February, we showed you how to get Hulu working on your AppleTV2 . Since this method is not officially supported by Hulu, as expected, after a while it stopped working. Well, great news: Hulu is working again on the AppleTV2, and we’re going to show you how to get it.

1. Download this zip file ( make sure to leave it as a .zip file )

2. Jailbreak and install the nightly build of XBMC via SSH. Grab the nightly build here…

2.1. To learn how to install the nightly build, check out this wiki page…

3. Install the zip file you just downloaded in step 1. You have to upload it to your apple tv. Use either an AFC2 app or openSSH to make an SFTP connection to the Apple TV’s IP address (find it in the ATV settings), username ‘root’ password ‘alpine’ (which is the default for ATV). The .zip files go in the /private/var/mobile/Media folder. Once there, launch XBMC on your ATV, go to settings, Addons Manager, and select the Install from zip file (it’s in there somewhere…easy to find). Then you can Activate whichever channels and options you want.
