Hey i figured out why mine wasnt working, when the step says

step 4) on the proxomitron main window go to config, click the access tab and set to allow connections from your local network e.g. 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.255

make sure you do not include your actual router’s IP address… start with one above that. I did that and it worked fine.

“On the ps3 network settings, set it to use a proxy server and point it to the ip address of your windows machine running proxomitron, port 8080.”

And how do you do that??? That’s the most difficult thing of all!

FOR THOSE ON WIN 7 & VISTA
This works great on the latest firmware and everything. So, you need to run Prox at an Administrator, you also need to save the config file in a new location the first time and copy over manually to set read right on it correctly. You need to allow prox in Windows firewall, if you use it.

@Jason I have also setup proxomitron correctly and get the Sorry, we are unable to load the player message. I did update the PS3 with the latest software last night to no avail. SUX.

Okay, not indefinitely, it says “Sorry, we are unable to load the player, please check your internet connection and try again”.

Well, thanks anyway, Eric/Igor/whoever posted this.

Hate for the three comments, but it seems Hulu just doesn’t work on PS3 now.

Oddly enough, it did the same stuff with my old connection WITHOUT Proximitron. Just loading the video indefinitely.

Could Hulu have unblocked PS3?

Regardly, I suppose we’re waiting for a Flash update now.

EDIT: Got it working.
Turns out it was the *.hulu.com part.

Testing your user-agent on another site will be treated as the PS3 browser with that selective filter, only trying to fool Hulu into it and nothing else, so when I tried http://whatsmyuseragent.com/, it wasn’t under the filter.

Tyvm for this. Now time to make a new Hulu account since I forgot the old one.

Not working.
I restarted and everything. I tested my user-agent string on a site on my PS3 and it still came up with the PlayStation 3 one.
