You could probably do some hackery to get the Hulu window embedded in your favorite HTPC software.

Unfortunately it's all useless to me until Flash gets VDPAU support or something.

Does Hulu Desktop for Linux require Flash?
Yes, you must have Adobe Flash Player 9.0.124 or higher installed. If you can load and watch videos on Hulu.com, you should be able to use Hulu Desktop for Linux.

I can already use Hulu from Firefox on Linux. So what's the point of installing special client software?

Hulu has been claiming that they were about to work out distribution rights for Europe forever. Too little, too late.

My machine is not that fast, but it has no problem playing 1280 x 720 H.264 videos (and with no GPU acceleration). This thing can't play videos at about 300 x 200!
