Channels DVR authentication to Hulu Fails | Captcha grayed out also

Here we go again.. Not able to add Hulu back as a source. Did the same sequence as I used several times in the past - with no luck this time after 2 days of trying. Changing passwords, deleting devices, Chrome up to date, restarting DVR - no dice this time.

Logs have been submitted as 04a6da5d-6250-4132-a208-a0258b3acadc .

The error @kprice is receiving is:

We couldn't log you in. Please check your email and password and try again. Or visit Find My Account if you need to reset.

Edit: fixed username. It autocompleted to the wrong username before

Still can't add Hulu as a source - says can't auth email / password. Yet I'm able to login to ABC, FOX, NBC HGTV etc - using those exact credentials. Only thing I see in the logs mentions 12s timeout , then action=auth_timed_out. No clue if this is the issue.
I've cleared browser caches, tried 4 diff browsers, stopped / started channels - everything that I've done in the past to fix this issue. Has to be a Channels issue. It seems like something from the original source Hulu is still stuck in Channels somewhere - or something has changed..

You are describing my situation exactly. I can use Hulu for TVE outside of Channels. But so far it only seems to affect me and you. I will not renew Hulu live TV and will switch to YTTV. Hulu was a better fit for our needs, but I really have no choice if I can't get Channels working with Hulu again.

I just got Hulu Live TV and I'm unable to authenticate...after reading this thread I feel like it might have been a mistake...how do you clear out your TVE in Hulu?

I don't personally use Hulu, but have seen many users that do mention removing devices in their Hulu account. Have you tried that?

Examples

There are also posts in the official Hulu Provider Topic, these being the last two

I have logged into Hulu and when I do I get the code to my email...I do NOT see where i can remove any type of sessions yet...when I attempt to login to Channels on my synology Nas through docker I just get incorrect username and password it doesnt even get to anything else

I do see devices now...but whine ones do I remove?

I know this is an on going issue in several threads. I have tried on both a dedicated bare metal Windows installation and now Docker:tve on a Synology. I have removed all web sessions on the Hulu site. I still cannot login to TV Everywhere with Channels. I can log into all the sites individually with my Hulu/Disney credentials.

Pretty sure this is still broken and not much hope for it working properly. I switched to YouTube TV and couldn't be happier....

Wrong channel set for me

yep still broken, I dont think there is much hope of it getting better based on the changes hulu made...

Well, Disney does ruin everything

Since Hulu is fighting so hard against account sharing, part of the fight includes strict log in requirements.
My TVE needs are served best with Philo and Fubo TV for the stuff not on the docker.

I switched from Fubo. They started cutting too many channels without lowering the price

So Hulu live will not work with channels TVE?

See above

Do you know if YouTube tv works?

Perfectly. As long as you use a family sub account with no 2fa
