Can't Add Hulu Live to sources

[Dxcv]

Are you re-adding the source or just updating the password? I had a similar issue that resolved itself after i removed and completely re-added Hulu.

Though, to be fair about a week later they sent another 2FA email when I tried to tune to a channel.

Their system has gotten to be quite obnoxious even for non-channels users.

@Dxcv ill give that a try.

@eric the strange thing is that channels doesnt bother asking me for the 2fa code like it usually does

[slampman]

@eric i tried deleting and re-adding the tve source and i get this graphic. Channels doesnt give me an opportunity to enter the 2fa code

I suggest before nuking it. After you create a new password at Hulu update the password in channels twice before rescanning a channel.

Edit. Too late now

[slampman]

Yeah i tried updating it 3 times before and no go. Would it be better for me to install a channels server on a desktop os like ubuntu desktop? Then i could try authenticate to hulu through the chrome browser without the headless chrome issues?

[eric]

Without diagnostics right after a 2fa code, I don't have the info I need to potentially improve this.

3 times with the same new password? I have a theory that for some reason channels doesn’t always take the password change when update it. So then it tries to use the old pw. I’ve had good luck when I update the new password twice back to back in a row in channels drop down. If you use an old pw Hulu always spits a code.

@slampman

It helps to verify the machine will authenticate using the pw but I’m not sure if it will help now that you nuked it. Worth a try I guess.

I just repro'd and submitted right after

@slampman

in the past did channels ever provide a place to enter the code when rescanning a single channel? I have never seen a place to enter a code after a single channel scan and I have never started new since they implemented being able to enter one. I assumed it was just for starting from scratch

[Dxcv]

it does. i've gotten it for each media company, such as fox, discovery, etc

[Rice]

@Dxcv

it does

Well that would be extremely handy. I have never ever seen a prompt to enter the code into channels. What operating system does your server run on. I run Ubuntu desktop

This worked for me running on Windows 10 pro.

Thank you!!!

I am running an LXC on Proxmox. Debian 12-based

@eric, if it helps, this is how I was able to do this in Python last month:

@babsonnexus

        # Check if the six-digit code field is available
        print(f"{current_time()} Checking for verification code request...")
        six_digit_code_field = driver.find_elements(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "[data-automationid='six-digit-code-field']")
        if six_digit_code_field:
            print(f"{current_time()} Verification code request found.")
            verification_code = get_user_input("Enter the six-digit verification code: ")
            six_digit_code_field[0].send_keys(verification_code)
            time.sleep(5)  # Wait for 5 seconds
            if driver.current_url != "https://auth.hulu.com/login":
                print(f"{current_time()} Login successful after verification!")
                break
            else:
                print(f"{current_time()} Login failed. Please check your credentials or verification code.")

But, if it has changed and doing what Disney+ has been, this is how I resolved that (just have to change the url):

@babsonnexus

        elif driver.current_url == "https://www.disneyplus.com/identity/login/enter-passcode":
            print(f"{current_time()} Verification code request found.")
            verification_code = get_user_input("Enter the six-digit verification code: ")
            time.sleep(1)
            actions = ActionChains(driver)
            actions.send_keys(verification_code).perform()

            # Wait for 1 second
            time.sleep(1)

            # Find the continue button and click it
            verification_button = driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "[data-testid='continue-btn']")
            verification_button.click()
            print(f"{current_time()} Clicked verification button. Waiting 5 seconds...")

            # Wait for 5 seconds
            time.sleep(5)

@eric I know others have had success with desktop operating systems so I tried Windows, and Ubuntu Desktop and neither seems to work unfortunately.

• IMPROVED: Try to implement new Hulu 2fa

The update last night has something to try to catch the new 2fa code.

[slampman]

no go for me although it did prompt me for a code this time but it failed

[slampman]

@eric is there something else I can try? TVE is effectively dead for me and nothing I do (change my password multiple times, try different OS's, etc) works

[eric]

The latest pre-release may work, but I'm really not sure. They're doing some weirder things here than usual...

[slampman]

sadly no go
