I would like to control online video players such as Hulu and Youtube, is there an app that can help do that?

Using the new apple aluminum remote..
Thanks.

I've been looking for this exact thing. Sadly, I have yet to find it. Best bet is probably Remote Buddy

Try iRed or Sofa Control

If they work well holler back. I'm still on the iBook so I've never tested them, but have both.

You can download Hulu desktop and use your remote to control it. For youtube, you can just install Plex and watch videos from there.

yes but using those on the web is much easier and better for me, i have hulu desktop but never use it, it's slower and full of bugs..

Thanks anyway

Most of the apps that work with the Apple Remote allow you to use a "virtual mouse" that allows you to control the mouse with the remote. Might be your best bet.

Only other thing I can recommend is use Plex or XBMC to connect to Hulu and Youtube.
