The Hulu app doesn't open with the typical "app:" format

Post by santyga »

I open many apps like onenote and netflix by just using the typical onenote: and netflix: format on the "open" section of the card. Some apps like hulu, however, do not open but instead show me this: https://i.imgur.com/W2JZ76B.png


I was wondering if maybe there is something I am missing for this card. And to show the full card: https://i.imgur.com/sIlIbry.png

Well there is another way, but MS doesn't make it to easy ..

Please take a look at this post and please let me know if it works for you (I don't have Hulu myself):

I see the link, and I did the steps for Hulu to where I could open Hulu from the command line, but I am not sure where I can plug that into on the Push2#un card

Great!

If you can run it from the command line then you can create a small .bat file, for example, "Hula.bat" and within it have a single line, the same line that you would type at the cmd prompt.

Once done, just put the full path and file name of the .bat file, for example, "c:\temp\Hula.bat" (without the quotes), in your Push2Run card's 'open' field.

Glad to be of help and of course you're welcome!

It's crazy how complicated it is to open some of those windows store / universal platform apps from the command line.

In any case, I hope Push2Run will be of good use to you, please don't forget to pass along the good word about it!
