Hulu Ads

by interdad

Has anyone had an issue with Hulu on the Mi Box? Mine will randomly lock up when starting an ad. The progress circle shows up on the top left but the ad doesn't start. I have to back out of the app and go back in and watch the ad, then a few seconds of what I already saw, then another ad. This doesn't happen every time I watch but it happens enough to be an issue for me.

I contacted Hulu support on Twitter and was told they don't support the Mi Box and that I needed to contact Xiaomi directly. Not sure why I'd contact a manufacturer for an app issue.

I've tried factory resetting and it hasn't fixed anything.

When it goes black on the ads, just let it sit. I get the same thing. I think it tries to play the ad, but fails to actually load. If you let it sit for the 30 seconds or so that it usually takes to play the ad, it will continue on to the next ad and keep playing properly.

I'm fairly certain it's the app. I've had that issue as well and can confirm waiting it out usually works.

Most definitely the app have the same issue on gen1 chromecast. What I do to fix is hit back or try to skip forward. If you hit back then hit resume will always start playing the commercials.

I also just let it sit and it somehow says 2/3 ad. Like it skipped an ad.
