On my Debian server it is using 9556KiB VSZ and 4392KiB RSS. But a more minimally compiled version of Python would certainly use less. If you have another Linux machine in the house I’d suggest using that instead. I have set up a more complicated version of this where the proxy intercept runs on an Ubuntu machine and the OpenWRT router is configured to route the Hulu/Pandora IP addresses to that machine. This also works quite well with only Hulu/Pandora being routed through the Ubuntu box. If you’re interested I can do another blog post about that setup sometime.

Great post, thanks for sharing this!

I’d like to install this on my Tomato firmware flashed Linux router. My only concern is the router’s specifications, with its mere 200 Mhz CPU and 16MB RAM. Do you know how much would be required for the interceptor part to run smoothly?

@James Mills
Yes, I’ve clarified the post

@Dylan
I’ve added a section on how to generate the huluhosts.txt file. I’m not
sure what you mean about adapting to a VPN setup, but there are a few
key points to make sure are correct:
* From your LAN you should have hulu.com, etc resolve to the correct USA IP address, from your /etc/hosts file
* iptables on your PC or router should be capturing all traffic on all ports sent to these addresses and redirecting to…
* proxy.py running in interceptor mode forwarding to proxy.py running in proxy mode on your USA host

Hi,

Nice how-to. I adapted your idea’s to a VPN setup i’m running. I was curious as to how you generate the hosts file though? I’ve been unable to get it to work correctly, although i pass through the initial hulu filter and am able to browse through the videos when i go to play something i get stopped.

Cheers,
Dylan

Hey,

Great guide! Seems fairly straight foward.

Q: Will the DNAT / REDIRECT rules work
on the MythTV backend itself? My setup
is a Cisco router.

cheers
James

Comment on SBS Downloader in Python by Gavin

I just tried your script on opensuse 11.4 and it works a treat. I’m stuck with an older machine with insufficient ram and am on adsl 1 with my exchange. Playback of sbs was always annoyingly choppy as a result, plus my browser usually maxed out my resources in the process. Now I can watch with mplayer or vlc with no trouble! Thanks for your work.

Ah! I found this a couple years ago when I was using Linux for the first time and it helped me then. Setting up a new system now and I’m doing it again, using the xmodmaprc in the comments. Thanks for the awesome post!
