Alright, I'll do it.

It's obvious by looking at some of the comments on the original Frulu post, as well as from my visitor statistics that there's still an interest in Frulu, despite the existence of similar plugins. I plan to rewrite much of it, and get it working under Snow Leopard. I can't guarantee a date, but it'll be done.

Thanks for the continued interest.

Download Frulu Installer (10.5 Only) or just the plugin bundle

Note: Here is an update regarding a Snow Leopard compatible version of Frulu. 

The popular media website Hulu.com did something awesome today: they released a desktop client. Why is this cool? It's full-screen, it's got a gorgeous interface, and it's compatible with remotes. It helps bridge the gap between TV and Internet video, by providing an almost DVR-like experience.

I thought it might be nice to be able to access Hulu's new desktop client from within Apple's Front Row, so I hacked together a quick plugin I call Frulu to make it happen. It's based on the work of John Sutherland, who wrote the FrontBoxee plugin for Front Row.

I hope it's useful and accelerates the rotting of your brain. I have not performed terribly extensive testing, so I offer no guarantee of quality. If you have any feedback, requests, awful bug reports,  etc., leave 'em below.

For the manual installers: Place the bundle in /System/Library/CoreServices/Front Row.app/Contents/PlugIns/, k ill your Front Row process, and restart the app. You should be good to go.
