I'm wondering with the advancements of projects like "My Media" allowing to stream local/networked content to the Roku if there is a way to somehow integrate TVersity in to enable Hulu watching? I'm not too sure of the details but it seems as if TVersity transcodes the media it provides using something called ffdshow? So maybe if it was possible to somehow make the tversity server available to the roku, it could transcode videos to a format recognized/playable by the roku.

I tried to get the TVersity transcoding to work for the Roku and couldn't get it to work. I think it's difficult to transcode to mpeg4/h.264 on the fly.

Did you try transcoding to WMV9? That may be another option.

I probably don't know what I'm doing, but I remember trying to use one of the device presets which included WMV transcoding and I couldn't get it to work. I'm not that technically inclined. I'd love to see if someone could figure this out.

I was able to successfully use TVersity as a media server though. I played compatible files without a problem.
