Hulu Easy Pop Out

Makes it easy to open Hulu videos in the Pop Out video player

What is Hulu Easy Pop Out?
'Hulu Easy Pop Out' is a Chrome extension that simplifies the task of opening Hulu videos in the pop-out player. It eliminates the need for multiple clicks by introducing the convenience of right-clicking a video's thumbnail to open it in the pop-out setting. In addition to this, the extension gives users the liberty to set a default size for the pop-out window. However, its functionality currently extends only to certain types of Hulu video content like movies, TV episodes, and clips.

Summary

Hulu's default player is rather large, and it takes a few too many clicks to get the pop out player window, right? This extension aims to solve this problem by letting you right-click a video's thumbnail to open the popout window immediately. As an added bonus it lets you set the default width and height of the popout.

Note: It currently only works with some of the video types on Hulu, including Movies, Movie Trailers, TV Episodes, Clips, and possibly more. I've only tested this in the USA.

If you get the popup but the video doesn't load, please check your flash configuration. One of my testers reported that he had to re-enable Chrome's built-in flash plugin.

Thanks to the r/picrequests community and LAMcNamaraXVII (lamcnamaraxvii.deviantart.com) for the icon.
