Hulu Plus on iPad #39

Care to post some snippets from your |
This was whilst watching on the iPad
This was whilst watching via OS X
I'll have to double check the logs when I'm at home to test with my iPad after work tonight. I'd expect the iPad to be much less noisy, given it doesn't have all the extra assets to load. Cheers! |
Yep, so this is iPad
Only when watching on iPad. This was the same ep watching on my MacBook.
There was about 80MB of traffic for the first 5 minutes, so not enough for the content that was streaming so not sure where it's coming from but it didn't change at all when watching on the MacBook. It's not a big deal as I moved to BuyVM and have twice as much bandwidth per month available as what my ISP allows per month, but would be interesting to know where the data is coming from, what it is and what's different between the two devices. |
Are you using |
I'm using bind on my local network and forwarding select domains to the DNS server on the VPS. I managed to break the iPad app a couple of times to the point where the interface was blank haha. I'll continue to play with it over the next day or two and see how I go. Unrelated to Hulu, if I was to want BBC iPlayer to work, I'd need to fire up a VPS in a similar fashion to this one in the appropriate geographic region, too yeah? Then just forward those DNS requests from the US-based one to the UK-based one? Am I theoretically on the right track? Thanks for your help. |
That's right. At that cost point, you might be better off going with a commercial DNS service which can give you a presence in multiple continents. |
Yeah, I thought as much. |
Hi there,
I've got everything working nicely with this setup, but have noticed that when using Hulu Plus on the iPad that video traffic is coming via the VPS (from Edgecast), rather than from the nearest CDN directly as is the case when accessing from OS X.
Whilst I realise that you're not offering any support, I was wondering if there were any hints as to how I can approach this (if at all).
Relatedly, and for anybody else that may be wondering, it appears that advertising is proxied via the VPS, too.
