  • Hulu Launcher will now stop playback in Media Center before launching Hulu Desktop.

New in Hulu Launcher 1.0.1.1 Alpha (May 21, 2010)

  • Features:
  • If Hulu Desktop restarts itself, such as due to an update, HuluLauncher should be able to handle it, although this will be untested until an update is available.
  • Will attempt to hide the mouse as much as possible, and show the desktop for the least amount of time possible.
  • If you exit Hulu through the menu or another means, Media Center will be brought to the foreground, maximized, and the mouse will be hidden.
  • If Media Center becomes the foreground window while Hulu Desktop is running, Hulu Desktop will be automatically closed.
  • Known Issues:
  • In Windows 7, on DPI higher than 125%, the taskbar will remain visible while switching between applications. I have no idea why, and will probably not look into this issue.
  • Notes:
  • Any exceptions will be logged (poorly) to %LOCALAPPDATA%\HuluLauncher\logfile.txt
  • I tried to make it not matter what you have "Always on Top" set to in MC or in Hulu Desktop, but it warrants additional testing to confirm.
