HiSense 65h9908 - Side Loaded Apps Disappear (Hulu)

by flatspotting

Hi everyone, having a bit of an issue and can't figure out what is causing it.

Basically I have a VPN setup, USA google account, but live in Canada.

I have Hulu, and I use it on my PC just fine, and on my phone just fine with a sideloaded APK.

I side loaded the APK onto my TV - at the end of the install I hit 'open' and it opens, and I can watch Hulu just fine.

The problem is, the second I close the app, or back out - it's gone, poof. No icons, no anything. If I re-install the APK it asks to modify an existing installation, so it's in there somewhere... but I get no icon/way to launch it.

Anyone had this for Hulu, or any other apps? It's driving me nuts.

Go to settings then apps and see if it's in the list. Sounds like it doesn't have the leanback icon. You can sideload TV app repo to make an icon.

Just use torrents instead, Hulu doesn't deserve our money.
