Provider - Hulu Live TV

The website and the app. I can access ESPN+ and Disney+ just fine though. Just a Hulu thing.

When I had it working, I did have to use a verification code when logging into Channels with it.

Wonder if this will help Hulu Live TV users.

Disney is making it as simple as possible for you.

At your next login attempt on any MyDisney compatible service, when you enter into a password-restricted feature, Disney will ask you to update your password. From then on, that password is the only one you’ll need to remember.

That means that going forward, any other MyDisney compatible service will ask you to use only that same email and password via the same prompt.

By coincidence, I signed up for Hulu Live on the very day of this announcement from My Disney. (Apr 16) Adding Hulu Live as a TVE source to Channels, it easily accepted my existing Disney account password, and has been working fine since then. At some point later, it did ask me to login to the Hulu app through my home network, so that it could get my location. I suppose so that it could verify appropriate local channels.

Follow up. Took them about two weeks, but my login is working again. However I did switch to Youtube TV in the interim. Might revisit at a later date

Anything I need to know for hulu live my authentication keeps failing.

I see that several beta updates have been released to address this Hulu Live authentication issue. Has it been resolved? If so, what do we as users need to do to get Hulu TVE working again?

Update to the latest Channels DVR Pre-Release version.
Run Support > Troubleshooting from the DVR web admin UI to ensure all green checkmarks.
Follow the latest Topic about the issue.

Sometimes the DVR Pre-Release notes will contain links at the bottom to the topics discussing the problem, like this one

Thanks! I must have missed the link to the new topic in the earlier comment. I'll follow up there.

Use the Pluto History Channel. It is like how History used to me. More history, less big foot and ancient aliens content.

Hulu failing to authenticate on most channels. Latest prerelease.

Just tried to play FS1 and BTN on my phone on the road. Neither work. ESPN works.

Did a rescan. Here is an example of what it came back with...

Pretty much when the cookie expires that’s it. For me discovery family is the only stuff still working. Hopefully they are working on it. @maddox @tmm1 @eric

I've version 2025.02.14.1649 and Channels is getting a Captcha in the login screen to Hulu Live. Any suggestions on how to work around this?

@BigMikeSantaCruz you would need to submit diagnostics for us to know what's going on.

Switch to YTTV. I was on hulu and always had this issue. Bonus is that YTTV looks 1000% better on my hdmi capture device with adb tuner. Didnt realize how much hulu live sucked..

Yes, of course. fc4aca77-1f55-403c-8f90-83aad298599a

Zero issues with adding YTTV as a TVE source?

Is there a link/page showing the exact channel differences with YTTV and Hulu for TVE channels avail?
