How to Integrate Hulu Desktop to Media Center

Fellow MVP Mike Garcen has a guide on how to integrate Hulu’s new desktop application in to Windows Media Center. While the new application is not a Media Center Addin you can add shortcuts to Windows programs in Media Center so when you launch the app it shells out of Media Center and in to the Windows app. Mike has posted step by step instruction on how to add a shortcut.

If that is to much work for you checkout HuloDesktopWMC a Media Center plug that apps the Hulu shortcut in to Media Center written by Yaggs the developer of Secondrun.tv  (and guest on [tmcs] next week)

    This does not maximize media center again after you have exited Hulu Desktop, or it didn’t on my machine anyways. I then tried Yaggs Hulu add-in from the SecondRun TV website and that didn’t work for me either in the end I created my own entry point using MC Menu Mender (Vista Only) See here for more:
