Two solutions for Hulu!
For folks searching how to best to add the HULU content to MediaPortal I thought I would highlight the two solutions now available.
The first is Hulu desktop launched using multishortcut
This option can appear tightly integrated although it is not a plug-in
Using multishortcut plug-in which allows the launching of external batch files or exe files you launch Hulu desktop. Hulu desktop is mature, stable, and well supported by hulu. In my experience it has worked flawlessly.
Setup instructions and a sample batch file are available in this thread:

Hulu plugin is the second option
This option is more tightly integrated with MediaPortal being a true plug-in but is limited in that the Hulu interface is scripted through control of a browser (IE) in kiosk mode.
It also is still a work in progress but very usable and most report success.
