Hulu error code

The Hulu app could not get a response from Hulu's servers when it tried to start playing.

The Hulu app could not get a response from Hulu's servers when it tried to start playing. It is Hulu's catch-all playback error, which is why it appears in so many different situations. In practice the fault is usually stored app data that has gone stale, or a connection that is technically working but not stable enough to hold a stream.
