I recently had trouble watching Hulu on my Arch machine and after searching around online I found that flash requires the use of the HAL program. This is how I worked around the problem. 

 h2. Prepare the Environment 

 * Make sure the system is up to date: 
 <pre> 
 sudo pacman -Syu 
 </pre> 

 * Install flashplugin: 
 <pre> 
 sudo pacman -S flashplugin 
 </pre> 

 h2. Install HAL 

 * Install HAL from the AUR: 
 <pre> 
 yaourt hal 
 </pre> 

 * Start and enable the HAL service at boot: 
 <pre> 
 sudo systemctl enable hal.service 
 sudo systemctl start hal.service 
 </pre> 

 * Clear your Flash cache by going to http://phtshp.us/2fZi and selecting *Delete all sites* under the Website Storage Settings panel 
 
 * Go to http://phtshp.us/aDzNKq in a web browser and click *Reset License Files*, then restart your browser
