Topic: Hulu Playback Error Codes | Status: Updated

What is this error?

Error 98 in Hulu typically indicates a connection issue that prevents the app from accessing the streaming service. This may result from network interruptions or problems with the device you are using to access Hulu.

How to Fix It

  1. Check Your Internet Connection: Ensure that your device is connected to a reliable internet connection. Test the connectivity by trying to load a webpage or other streaming services.
  2. Restart Your Device: Turn off your streaming device completely, wait for about 10 seconds, and then turn it back on. This can resolve temporary glitches.
  3. Reboot Your Modem/Router: Unplug your modem and router from the power source. Wait for about 30 seconds and then plug them back in. Allow the devices to fully restart before testing Hulu again.
  4. Update the Hulu App: Ensure you are using the latest version of the Hulu app. Check your device's app store for any available updates and install them as necessary.
  5. Clear App Cache (if applicable): On some devices, you can clear the app cache to improve performance. Go to your device settings, find the Hulu app, and choose the option to clear the cache.
  6. Disable VPNs or Proxies: If you are using a VPN or proxy service, try disabling it and connect directly to the internet, as these can sometimes interfere with your connection to Hulu.
  7. Reinstall the Hulu App: If none of the above steps work, uninstall the Hulu app from your device and then reinstall it. This can help resolve underlying issues with the installation.
