The Hulu Plus app for Android (http://www.engadget.com/tag/hulu,android/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget) has a new update, and the most noticeable change is that its player UI to closer match the one on its website (http://www.engadget.com/2012/07/21/hulu-web-player-ui-update/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget) and in iOS. It also brings features from those platforms like 10 second skip back and a preview thumbnail in the scrub bar. Hulu also claims it's rebuilt "for optimized awesomeness" with reduced buffering, better playback, and more device compatibility. Finally, in a move that should make plugging in your HDMI-out a little easier, it supports remote control navigation from game controllers and "similar peripherals."
