On my machine this page says:

This video is unavailable at this time. We apologize for
any inconvenience.

If this error is occurring repeatedly, we may be
experiencing technical difficulties. Please visit Hulu
Support for more help.

Can you watch this video?

Enough time had passed since I posted this issue that the video had expired. Try this one instead:

https://view.yahoo.com/show/the-real-oneals/episode/60808750/the-real-fit

Got the same message with the new URL, too. Does it require a specific browser or geolocation? I'm using Firefox on Linux and I'm in Taiwan.

It may be geolocated to the US. It works for me on Chrome in Windows 7.

depends on hulu support #1629.
