Hulu channel jumping to next episode while watching "Drain the Oceans"

Jump to solution

I have had a problem lately where I will be watching an episode but when it gets down to the last 7 minutes, it jumps to the next episode. I then have to go back to the episode and fast forward to watch the final 7 minutes. This happened today on the Hulu channel while watching "Drain the Oceans" and has happened more than once. Any ideas on how to make this stop? If you have any information, please email me. Thank you.

Same thing just started happening to me yesterday while watching Walker, Texas Ranger. It's always within the final 7 minutes of an episode and it just randomly jumps to the next episode. Only happens with Hulu.
