    Hulu Desktop


    I just installed this, because I got fed up with problems viewing Hulu on my browser. So far, so good, except one little thing...I have gone through the settings, and I couldn't find one for keeping it on top. Is there such a thing as a switch that could be added to the exe that would give it this ability?

    Hulu Desktop is not a browser, it is a standalone app.

    EDIT: It does use browser integration, but that has nothing to do with the problem.

    Too frequently, a program will freeze while it buffers, but worse is that recently programs fail to start, with it showing a message to clear out the browser's cache, but even after doing so, it oft is needed to reload the page several times before it will work. Sometimes, it is necessary to restart the browser, even after clearing the cache, and too often even that doesn't fix the problem without multiple reloading of the page.

    So far, the desktop app hasn't had these problems, and has the ability to use a small window that doesn't interfere with other use of the desktop. The only problem with it is that each time you click anything on the desktop, the app goes disappears to the rear. The bottom line is that there is no advantage to using any browser to view films (except possibly the browser and the desktop might have different access to films).

    The issue is identified as host server overlaod and DNS!
    This is a known issue!
    In plain speak, Hulu has more clients than it can serve, whether you use proprietry software or from the browser.

    You seem to be going off in a tangent to my question. It is about keeping the app always on top, not about issues due to congestion. However, the issues do not seem to be effecting the desktop software.

    If its the only app open while you are watching it, then it will always be on top..
