Another update has seen the Linux version of the Boxee multimedia platform gain Hulu support, together with access to the App Box download system.  Boxee V.0.9.11.5777M also gains a new GUI skin and brings the Linux version better up to date with the OS X version of the app.

What’s still missing is Netflix support, for either streaming movies or TV shows, which was added to the OS X version of the app back in December 2008.  Hulu functionality is the same pseudo-workaround as added earlier this month, which uses a combination of RSS feeds and an integrated Mozilla-based browser engine to display the streaming service’s content.

Boxee remains a free app, available – in varying states of development – for Linux, Windows, OS X and AppleTV.  Linux users may be able to access this latest version through the Update Manager tool on Ubuntu systems.
