Has an error interrupted your ‘The Girl From Plainville’ binge session on Hulu? Here is a list of fixes that will help you get rid of all the problems that the Hulu app can pose on a Firestick.
Hulu is a widely used streaming service to access a huge variety of shows and movies. Its service is great on most occasions. But as they say, nothing is perfect. Even though Hulu has a unique library of content you can watch, it can sometimes throw an error out of nowhere. And usually, these errors affect almost all the devices that support Hulu. However, this article is focused more on the problems produced by Hulu on a Firestick. If you are not able to stream your favorite show because of an error on Hulu, take a look at the given list of fixes. Use the one that is most relevant to your situation to make the app function normally.
Fixes for Hulu not working on Firestick:
1) Restart app:
Whenever a problem appears out of nowhere in an app, the best thing to do is restart it. Close the Hulu app on your Firestick. Also, restart your device. Go to Settings > Device and Software > Restart. After the Firestick restarts, open the Hulu app again and check if the error is solved.
2) Update app:
Open the store on your Firestick and check if there is an update available for the Hulu app. If there is, you might want to install it. After the update is successfully installed, open the app and see if the error still persists.
3) Reinstall the app:
If updating the app does not make a difference, try uninstalling the app completely. Particular versions of some apps are known to have a few bugs in them. And new bugs can disrupt the applications functioning with an update. If you are not receiving an error message on the Hulu app, chances are, the version installed on your Firestick is problematic. Reinstalling the app will suggest a more stable version for your device. After the reinstallation, run the app and set it up. There should not be any errors bothering you anymore.
4) Check internet connection:
A bad internet connection is often the main culprit in problems with online streaming services. To check if it is really your internet that is slacking, open other apps on your Firestick and observe the performance. If you see a jittery performance, power cycle your router to fix the problem. If it still does not fix your internet speed, contact your ISP.
5) Check for a server outage:
If it turns out that your internet was not the reason for the error on Hulu, check Hulu’s server status. You can do that by browsing the internet and especially the online forums. On forums specific for Hulu, see if there are other viewers who are reporting the same problem as you. When there is a server outage, all you can do is wait patiently. Keep yourself updated through online forums and enjoy watching your shows when the server is up again.
