Can't Add Hulu Live to sources

Read the whole thread. Dont hold your breath that it will get any better. Switching caused me to realize just how much hulu live sucked...

I guess I never thought about the picture quality...I will look into this some more...thank you

The picture quality on TVE is the same no matter the provider. He is talking about the picture quality and tuning speed when using YouTube as a source for linkpi adpt tuning compared to Hulu with linkpi.

I personally haven’t had any Hulu authentication problems lately. All I can suggest when it comes to Hulu is to change your Hulu password then immediately try setting up the source in channels. Too many people have a problem with a couple channels and the immediately nuke the source and are not able to add it back. When a simple password change and rescan of the individual channel would probably fix it.

Did you delete the entire Hulu source?

It seems to be the luck of the draw.

For me, Hulu with Live TV worked on the first try as a TVE source in Channels.

I also tried DirecTV Stream and after trying many times to add it, I was unable to add it as a source.

For Hulu with Live TV, I have it bundled with Disney+ and ESPN+. I don't know if this helps with integration in Channels.

I have not deleted it. I really don't want to change my password either but if that is what it takes for it to work then I will

i have the bundle also...I just grabbed the free trial of YouTube TV and have not been able to add that at all!

I don't know whether this matters or not but my Channels DVR is running on Windows 11.
Just for extra info.

hmmm I wonder if that makes a difference.

I have a standalone ubuntu server running channels and youtube tve works great. I have another channels server container running on my linux docker server and youtube tve does not work.

You have to have a family account for it to work in any scenario.

When you say it doesn’t work what errors are you getting? There has to be a work around

That was my workaround. Setup a ubuntu server VM to feed TVE to my other Channels servers

I cant remember the errors but it works perfectly with ubunru server and the latest chrome browser installed.

there is too much work in that work around lol...

cmon Hulu there has to be something I can do...I can't get Hulu or YT on right now

i did a channel rescan and I got 86 channels and they even work on channels but I am missing important channels like ESPN

What kind of router do you have?

i have a ubiquity ultra gateway.

Did you resolve this issue?

I'm having the same issue with Hulu... only the garbage channels appear to work. The major channels do not work. I did try changing my password and re-scanning, but none of the channels appear that I actually use: ESPN, TCM, etc.

Are you on latest pre release?

Yes. I just checked that. It is current.

v2025.02.14.1649 ?
