better way to watch the daily show / colbert report online?

[mattkime]

ah, found the daily show and the colbert report plugins. both listedn alphabetically starting with "the".

looks like it streams. would be nice if it could download and play later to avoid streaming hick ups.

You can up the buffers in Plex to the max, and that may help, and if you are using hulu, you can set your preference to HD or not, in hulu itself, and plex will use your hulu settings. Plex is really just a browser, so it can't download media that the website hosting it doesn't let you download.

the forums at plexapp may have suggestions on downloading. My vague memory is that the default buffer settings are from when they brought it over from an xbox, and computers can run at the highest settings with no problem.

Yes, I know it costs money.

So does producing the shows.

Haven't seen episodes sourced from iTunes but I'd wager the picture quality is a damn sight better than what Hulu offers, which isn't great (but last time I checked was better than from the video from Colbert's site.)
