Will adding MSO support help? Hulu (except for mobile enabled clips and limited episodic content like Larry King and Charlie Rose) is drm constrained. And the limited content that is drm-free doesn't require MSO authentication.

Rumor has it that a tool named "WVDownloader" uses a drm-free SmartTV app hole for all hulu content (except for the new live TV content) and for that to work MSO authentication is required. But in order to add that functionality to youtube-dl, someone who has WVDownloader would need to reverse engineer the network traffic and/or methodology used by WVDownloader.

Yeah I know about drm, this request is not for hulu content. It's for only Hulu login support for other sites that you can login with hulu as a tv provider option aka mso login support. They are not drm constrained.

I would vote for this. If anyone needs account info, I am ready to provide it.

I'd love to be able to use Hulu as an MSO login for other services like NBC.

you don't need login for NBC...

You do for locked content
