Hulu not working on smart tv. If Hulu is not working on your smart tv, complete smart tv troubleshooting is required for it. You can start Hulu troubleshooting by checking the internet. You can enter the troubleshooting process deeply by checking one thing at a time. The settings of your device may have been incorrect for the app to work.

Learning about IT support, I have a good understanding of technology. This came in handy, when my friend called me last week, saying that Hulu was not working on his phone, and he was really sad because of a show he wanted to stream on it so badly. I decided to help him and went to his house. But before going to his house, I did all the research on Hulu I needed. His Hulu not working was fixed completely. He even treated me to a meal just to thank me. The article is written at his request.

Hulu not working on smart tv

If your Hulu is not working on Smart Tv, then check if your Tv is connected to the net. You can check if the access is available after the device is connected. You can reinstall the application on your smart TV and see if the problem was the application. 

You can check the web server and contact Hulu support to know if the server is the issue. You can try logging on to the web rather than the internet and know if it was an issue. The details are below. 

Unlinked Wi-Fi 

The issue found mostly in devices like smart Tv is not having the internet. Hulu is an online streaming platform, and it requires for the user to have a smooth internet connection. Most devices that face Hulu not working is related to the internet. Hulu completely depends on the internet unless you have some offline downloads, but it still may require you to re-login to access the files. 

Origin

You may have forgotten to add an internet connection or the device may not be connecting because of an issue. Forgetting to add a connection may seem embarrassing, but it happens to everyone. The issues that might have occurred are usually originated if your device bandwidth is wrong.

You need to have a 2.4GHz connection but yours is set to 5GHz. The password with which you are tying to connect may not be the current password or you may have typed the digits incorrectly. 

Fixes

If you have only forgotten the internet connection, then you can simply connect to it and your Hulu will work on your smart TV. If the bandwidth is set wrong, you can simply set it to the required GHz. Usually, 2.4Ghz is used. It's present in your Wi-Fi setting. You can always set the bandwidth according to your model. 

You should check the password if it's incorrect, then the TV will not connect at all. Make sure you have the right password. You can find the password on the router as well. Simply connecting the internet if it was the problem, would fix Hulu on your device. 

Access issues

Keeping intent connection aside. Hulu may still not work in your TV. This time the issue is not that your device is disconnected or not connecting, but rather it is connected and connects but doesn't give access to you for running your device. No internet access issue is a very common internet issue.

Hulu doesn't just need a connection but also access to work. You may see device connected but no internet access on your TV as well. This message just confirms the issue.

Origin

 The internet access issue being unavailable usually is because of the router. You may have a service issue in your area. It can be a minor issue. You may have not paid your service provider and that’s why you don’t have access.

Fixes

The internet access issues have simple fixes. You can check the router and restart it after a few seconds, at least 10 seconds will do the job. The router will be refreshed, and your access will return. If its because of the service provider than you need to give them a call and pay your dues if you have any. You will also know if the access is unavailable because of some other issue by connecting them.

App bugs

If the connection and access were not your problem, probably the app in your smart Tv is the issue. App bugs are not real bugs, but they act are flaws and viruses in the app. They may not just be in a single app but the whole system but usually they get downloaded with their app.

Origin

The old apps get bugs with time and this issue is not in the updated apps. The Hulu app may have filled the memory, or a virus is preventing it from running. The app being outdated causes bugs to form. Incompatible app can bring bugs too. Bugs can come form the internet as well.

Fixes

If you are using an outdated app, then updating will make the app remove the bugs. App updates usually contain bug fixes. You can uninstall the app and reinstall it if you want it to work. You can download a compatible version of the app from websites like uptodown and apkpure.com. The app will work without bugs and a compatible version.

(Tip: Try logging in your account through the web rather than your app, logging in the web usually works better than the app, and the Hulu website is free from bugs).

Hulu server

If the Hulu not working on your TV persists, you may have a server issue, but this server issue is not from your service provider, but from Hulu services. All the media on Hulu is stored in the servers and you get stream because of it. If the server stops letting you have access or you can not surf it for any other reason, then you cannot use it at all.

 Origin

The server issue is caused on Hulu or any other platform when there is an update on the system. The access may have been gone from the server because of an ended subscription. Too much traffic on the sever can make it down and it may not work on any device. Server crash can sometimes occur as well.

Fixes

The only that you should do is all the Hulu services. They have all the data about crashes and even too much traffic. If there is an update, then you will have to wait until the server has completed the update. The same goes when the server crashes. If you have no Hulu subscription or your subscription has ended, you will need to buy a subscription or renew it.

(Tip: If the server is down, you can use VPN and access another server of Hulu)
