Can't Add Hulu Live to sources

Hulu live was failing to authenticate, so I deleted it from sources and when trying to add it, it fails. I see that this has been an issue in 2020 and 2022, but can't find how to resolve it.

Is Hulu no longer accessible by Channels?

Thank you.

I am seeing this same issue. The screenshot show an empty email field even though I filled that out when setting up the source.

Same issue. Started today.

If you still have the issue after updating to the latest DVR server pre-release version

then from the DVR web admin UI, run Support > Troubleshooting to see if it flags any issues. If not, submit diagnostics like Rice did.

I submitted logs as 56c59af9-1b05-4e5b-89a1-b6fc7d076334

In the log I see this:

(I removed my real Hulu login to be cautious.)

Just a guess, but they may have to update it to a newer version.
What are you running Channels DVR Server on?

In my case, I am at the latest pre-release and had previously logged in to Hulu using Chrome. I started seein issues with recordings yesterday afternoon. I have submitted the logs.

I don’t think chrome version is the culprit this time around. My guess is the Hulu page changed.

You sure they just don't like your username@gmail :rofl:

I'm using Windows 10 Pro. I'm not sure how to locate the latest DVR server pre-release version. I found links to older versions. Is there a path to find it in the menu system?

We’re aware of the issue and are looking into it.

@maddox this may have to do with the disney integration with Hulu. I had an issue where I had to create a new password to login to the hulu app (for ADBTuner setup). As soon as I did that I updated my password for TVE in Channels and did a rescan. Now I get the same thing:

This may fix the Hulu login issue.

Looks good. My attempt to add Hulu has succeeded using 2024.05.16.2241.

Fast work! Thanks.

@eric No go for me... I get the 2fa email with the OTP but channels never prompts me to enter it. Then a few seconds after I get 1 OTP email I get 4 more. Ive tried this on my channels docker container as well as my stand alone channels server.

Also the multiple 2fa emails causes my account to become locked and I keep having to reset my password. So I login to hulu.com and make sure my new password works. Update channels source with new password. Then I scan and get 5 OTP emails in my inbox. Channels logs show incorrect password. Then I try to log out and back into hulu.com and I get a password error

It does not appear there's anything we can do about this — it's just something that Hulu is doing.
