Channel Issues & Questions

[abrink18]

All of my other streaming services are working fine. Hulu opens and I can select something to watch; however, my selection does not load. I have tried restarting my system multiple times, removing my Roku stick, and deleting the Hulu channel from my home page and adding it back on. My system doesn’t need to be updated. Help!!!

Thanks for the note.

Please make sure that after you remove the channel to restart your device before adding the channel back again.

If the issue remains unresolved, I'd recommend reaching out to Hulu directly to report the issue and request additional support. Many channels on the Roku platform are developed and maintained by the channel provider directly, and they'll be able to best assist. If other channels are working correctly, and you only experience this issue on the Hulu channel (app), that is likely an indication that the issue lies within that particular channel. In these cases, the channel provider will need to investigate the issue in order to help resolve it.

Thanks,

Hulu updated their app, which doesn’t allow for compatibility with TV’s 2015 and older. There is a workaround though. You have to change the bit rate on the Roku. Here are the steps

Quickly press the home button five times

Quickly press the rewind button 3 times

Quickly press the fast forward button 2 times

Select the manual setting, which brings up the bite rate menu

Change to 7.5 bit rate

Uninstall Hulu

Reinstall Hulu

It may have been the updating process. I was having similar problems last night, but it's worming fine today.

I found out from Hulu today this is a known issue from the upgrade. Mine did not resolve after simple reboot.

I’d actually like to reply to the customer support guy who answered this, I think his name was Danny. Well I did that, didn’t work, called Hulu, and they said they think it’s something from rokus end.

Was this resolved for you? How did you resolve it?

Hulu's app updated 7/1/2020 on my Roku Ultra, after that when trying to use their app it either bounces/kicks you out when opening it, or when you select something to play, there is audio, but no video, and the only button that responds is the home screen., We called tech support, after a HUGE hold time, tech support was useless both on the phone and chat. Also wrote to a couple of lack luster top execs at Hulu who did not respond to our email. We have since canceled Hulu. Also they said maybe we need to a more recent model, as our is 2 1/2-3 years old. We have NO problems with any other streaming provider app!

Same issue as many others.  Audio only with black screen.
