What if I am abroad, I am using ExpressVpn and it still doesn’t show up when I search for Hulu?
This loads an phone version of Hulu it seems. Does not seem to be controller friendly. Is this not supposed to install a fire stick version of Hulu???
Yes, it does install a FireStick version of Hulu. You can use mouse toggle if it causes you any problem.
I’m outside the US and have downloaded the Hulu apk via Downloader, but the app won’t work with my remote…any ideas?
Thanks 😊
You can use the mobile app for FireStick remote or you can install mouse toggle for firestick to make it work.
I’m having a couple of problems with my app on the Firestick after getting it from here. I can watch stuff on it, but I can’t pick an episode. It just stays stuck on the main image of the show, and I can’t scroll down to select episodes or anything.
Is your FireStick storage enough? Because sometimes your FireStick becomes too slow to operate. Let me know.
My Firestick has 5.35GB total. Only 3.40GB is being taken up. Even after installing the mouse toggle, it’s impossible to select episodes and recommendations, as I’m physically unable to move the screen to get to it.
You would need to enable Mouse Toggle by double press Play/Pause button. Are you sure you did that?
The hulu app doesn’t work for me, it loads the front screen but I can’t navigate using the remote control or bluetooth via the iPhone
You will have to install Mouse Toggle on Firestick then. It works as a Mouse.
After I log in to Hulu
It asks to enable location
And there is no other option
Once I click on it, it closes the app
How do I get around this ?
I’m outside the us and using surf shark with a VPN in the states
Hey Chase, just clear data of the app by going into Settings, Applications, Manage Installed Applications, Hulu, and Clear Data. Now, connected to the US server and then try Hulu app again, It will work.
Tried this a dozen times. Does not work. Only makes you re-type your email and password over again and afterwards continues to say “enable location services” without any way out
Hey Chris, we saw that Surfshark VPN is causing some problems with Hulu so we checked NordVPN and its working. So we would recommend you to use NordVPN instead. Let us know your experience once you use it.
Hi there,
It says my internet connection is weak and therefore cannot stream or load anything, when that isn’t the case, my internet runs at 150MB per second. I’ve cleared the data but that does nothing. What do I do?
Sorry. This does not work.
Did you try connecting to the US sever before installing Hulu?
I found it more easy by downloading app here. Buying a hulu gift card and entering it online webpage. Once I added the code and a zip code I went on my firestick to login normally and it worked with no trouble.
I am having problems with Hulu on my fire stick. While watching a show or anything on Hulu it will stop. I then have to start it all over to watch my show. Last night I was watching This is us on Hulu and I had to reload Hulu 15 times to watch the program. This sucks! It seems to get worse all the time. Started when they did the upgrade and won’t stop. PLEASE HELP

I have a Amazon fire stick in UK, successfully followed your instructions to get Hulu, all work fine for months but Hulu app says I need to update it, I followed your instructions but it doesn’t give me an option to update and it has not updated automatically. It is saying goggle play is not available on my device ( firestick ) Please could you help ?
Hey Catherine! You would need to uninstall and reinstall Hulu to get the updated version. Let us know if its works for you.
Yea awesome -it worked, am SO pleased and grateful as I love HULU and was missing it. Thank you Thank you Thank you. I have been having a hectic time so I forgot to check back to see if you had replied – that’s why there has been a time lag in me letting you know as I only found your message tonight believe it or not but I did what you suggested immediately 😊
Hi again! my TV ( sony bravia ) updated itself last week and since then Hulu logged me out, I’m getting that old message I had before saying goggle play isn’t available on your device ( Amazon Firestick ) and I can’t log back in. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling app but I am getting 406 error now when I try and log in. Also for a long time now, even before all this happened – although I have been able log in to view programes on Hulu app on my TV I have been unable to look up my account details – as when I try to log in and do this – it won’t let me and says my account is blocked, I think this happened when I put in the wrong password twice by mistake but not sure. Have tried re setting password but using the same one – but no joy. Any ideas would be really appreciated as I still have a paid account and can’t now watch or cancel. Thank you
