| Did the boxee blackout stop understudy, too? I just went to load my queue, and it's telling me no videos are avilable, I cheacked other feeds -- same deal. Did Understudy just go belly up for hulu too? That would suck, because I don't do netflix. |

check out issue #51 on the understudy google code page.
response from the code owner:
"I can't speak to whether this is related to problems with Boxee, but I can confirm that the message is displayed as a result of Understudy enlarging the video (it works fine if the video's page is displayed without modification). Basically, this means that Understudy has to use the flash player's fullscreen mode now rather than later." |

Yeah, it looks like version 0.5.1 uses a new workaround to prevent the Hulu blackout. I was getting the message "Sorry, this video is currently unavailable. We apologize for the inconvenience" before updating. They also added a new icon for Front Row. I still like mine better though.

You may need to uninstall 0.5.0 or kill Front Row (killall Front\ Row) before going with 0.5.1. It wouldn't let me update until I trashed everything.
I'm not crazy abut how it transactions to the video now, but it works.

| Update fixed me too. A two-click load to the fullscreen made isn't horrible -- I can still do it from the remote, sitting on the couch. But I'll bet they'll fix that with the next update. |

| Mine won't go to fullscreen with v0.5.1 after it goes to the fullscreen Hulu page. I've tried just about everything with the remote and keyboard. |

| Hulu disabled full screen according to the Understudy site. |

All that work for nothing.
