MyMediaPlayer 2 improves the desktop Hulu player experience
The last time Download Squad took a look at MyMediaPlayer, Christina praised the concept of an Adobe AIR-based Hulu viewer, and the ability to watch shows and search for new ones at the same time. She also knocked MyMediaPlayer because it only showed the embedded versions of Hulu videos, which meant a serious restriction on viewing quality.MyMediaPlayer 2 fixes that issue, adds Linux support, and is visually more appealing than the previous version.
Some of the new features in MyMediaPlayer 2 include a guide page for quick browsing of shows and movies, a full-screen TV listing mode, and, most importantly, full-screen video.
Since MyMediaPlayer shows Hulu content uncut and with all the ads, the main incentive to use it over your browser is the addition of nice little UI touches like these. It also only shows only full-length movies and shows, so you don't have to browse Hulu's endless clips for full episodes they don't carry.

It looks like Hulu disabled access via MyMediaPlayer after TechCrunch published an article on the app.
I have difficulty understanding why Hulu (or, more likely, their providers) seems to dislike additional ad revenue. Maybe it is a control issue?

Hulu has already disabled access via MyMediaPlayer... Unreal... I wouldn't mind watching the ads if they allowed 3rd party support again via apps like this and XBMC, etc.
