Hulu on the PS3
Apparently, the most recent feature for the PS3 was Flash 9 support. Why is this great? Well, sites like Hulu use Flash 9. Does Hulu work? Yeah, mostly.
The video plays back fine, but the controls don’t work so well. For instance, you can’t switch to full screen or switch playback to 480p, so the quality suffers. I’m not convinced these things are actually Sony’s problem, though, as it might be the way Hulu is approaching it since some of them try to work but things draw in the wrong place.
However, you can get full screen playback. Use the right joystick button to zoom in. On the main player, this zooms in to the full player control, which includes the side bars which don’t have video. However, with an embedded video like you find on some of Hulu’s pages, the player doesn’t have any side controls. In this case, the zoom is perfectly full screen. Playback is smooth, but at only 360p, it could be higher quality.
In any case, it’s a pretty nice solution that should get better.
