ISSUE: Hulu Stopped Streaming - Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble

Hi:
I have a Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 WiFi SM-T520. I've been running LineageOS 14.1 (Android 7.1.1) on it quite successfully for some time now.
Recently, however, Hulu has stopped streaming for me. The app starts up just fine, and I can browse titles without an issue. When I stream a title, the advertisement shows fine. However, once the actual content is supposed to start, the streaming stalls, and I am presented with an Connection Error (Code: PLAYBACK_BUFFER_WATCHDOG_REACHED), with a "Unique error ID of 1465fbaa-f".
Other streaming services, such as Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, and Netflix, continue to work just fine.
Since the ads stream fine, I suspect this to be a DRM issue. Has something changed in the last few months? Anyone else seeing this?

Three Australia MobileTv working!

After many players and playing around I finally got MobileTv working I installed wm6 from
midget_1990_v0_1_vanilla_wm6.rar to see what it's like and it has streaming player v2.0 build in and it works straight out of the box.
Just go to the three.net.au page navigate to MobileTV and then BBC IE then passes the stream onto streaming player.
I know there is few other people on three with Jasjar's trying to get this to work.
That's fantastic news! I assume you have to connect to 3services prior to clicking on the Links?
Does all content work? I'm particularly interested in the cricket
Do you have to activate a content subscription to demo the services?
Thanks for your advice.
Hi,
Unfortunately not all live tv works I have found all streams that are in the following format and end with .sdp work fine.
rtsp://10.188.32.243:554/broadcast/mobiletv3BBC1.sdp
But the streams that are in the following format time out.
rtsp://st.three.net.au/req1.0?SrcType=archive&SrcName=3e/mtv/co/vid/CNAWF_6618sec_20070119_vidiator_cartoonnetwork1.3gp&CustID=FRkaeo4&Offset=2633S
They get the following error:
"Server or data time out; tap to Play to reconnect"
But of course tapping does not work I have found BBC and SBS to work quite well. I guess it's a little step further then what I was before.
Do you have to activate a content subscription to demo the services?
No you can pay 50c per 2mins to test it or you can sign up for a monthy pass.

Stream Stops on Kodi and OPlayer

Hi All. I'm seeing a little bit of inconsistencies with my FireTV Box. I wonder if it is randomly dying but I hope not.
1. When I play a RTSP stream on Kodi and or the OPlayer App, the stream stops in about 10 minutes and I have to restart it.
2. When I play movies from the network, the movies stop randomly and I have to resume.
I'm on a wired connection throughout. I wonder whats the issue as I've made about 22 firetv's and the same stream is played on multiple firetv's which I've made with similar configs and those don't stop. Given that those are on different networks.
I know this is a hard one to figure but any guidance or insights would help. I'm on SPMC the latest one. All other builds of firetv's which I've made are on the nightlies of Kodi which had the resume fixed. I have tried the same Kodi nightly and that too stops the stream.
I have a cordless phone on top of the firetv. Does that matter with heat etc? I can't think of anythign else.
no one with this kind of issue? Any help would really be helpful

Video playing issues

So I've been having a lot of trouble with my Z5 Premium, one of the biggest problems is randomly not being able to watch videos on any type of internet service, such as YouTube, Netflix, hulu, HBO Go, Facebook, and Snapchat. This includes GIFs too. I have to restart my phone constantly to get videos to work properly. While on YouTube I can either watch 1 or 7 videos, then it will stop randomly and say "video can't play, Tap to retry". This is an unlocked phone being used in the USA and I have not been able to update operating system or anything else.
Try factory reset

Casting Issues

I should add it's more than casting issues, streaming too. Twitch is driving me crazy, I cannot seem to get a lag free stream cast to my tv. I can if I use a different device. I'm also having issues with my DirectTv Now app. It streams fine on wifi, but when connecting to cellular data it wont stream. Now get this, if i enable my VPN it works flawlessly. I love this phone but these little quirks are starting to annoy me.

Strange Firestick 4k issue, any ideas?

We have Firestick 4K hooked up to several TVs to use Netflix, HBO, Disney+, and some of those other movie apps, if you know what I mean.
We've been running them for years with zero issues, including IPTV during NFL season.
I thought our internet was acting up because of an issue that appeared about 3 weeks ago. I did all the usual, Cleared Caches, restart devices, hard reboot on devices, changed DNS, etc... Then I switched out our router (Verizon Fios 1 gig), issue still remained.
So the issue is very strange and I'm hoping someone can lead me to a solution.
Suddenly,
Some preview thumbnails will not load on Firestick home screen
A couple of Apps like Disney+ and HBO Max will not load(but Netflix works fine)
SmartTube Apk(no ads) will not load preview thumbnails or videos(but regular YouTube works fine)
My other Movie.TV apks will not load thumbnails or any streams
When I was using WiFi calling on my cell, I kept dropping calls
So we thought it might be a Fire device issue, maybe due to an update but....
My son and my wife both noticed around the same time that the same not loading Thumbnails and videos issues was happening on their Twitter app on their phone while using wi-fi. My son also noticed that a couple other apps like DoorDash wouldn't load either, but all work fine on mobile data.
Other than that internet functions as it should. Our Download and Upload speeds are fine. We can browse websites on our laptops fine. I even just bought tickets on a popular Ticketmaster on sale the other day without issue. My wife and son both work from home remotely, and neither of them have had any daily issues regarding their access for work.
A little more info, when we connect the Fire Devices to our unlimited mobile data via hot spot on our phone, all Firestick and video apps work as they should without issue.
I have been having the same issue. I also have Verizon internet and have also done every possible reset, update or change to the router, with no improvement. For us Paramount Plus, Amazon Music and BET+ are not working, but DirecTV Stream works perfectly. Up until a week or so ago all apps were functioning normally. I'm reaching out to Verizon today, but honestly don't think it has anything to do with the service because all other devices (and we have several) are working properly on the Wi-Fi. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
After some research, I found out the issue.
Verizon(my ISP) is blocking/throttling some streaming apps. We bought a trial for a VPN, used that, and everything worked fine. All issues were resolved.
Thanks for the update!
Just got off the phone with Verizon and they were finally able to fix the issue after I told the rep the Wi-Fi issue was only effected android (Google TV) and android adjacent devices (Amazon Fire TV). He immediately said it was an IPv6 issue, and proceeded to disable the feature. After rebooting the router, all of our devices worked as they had before the issue. He informed me that the feature can be disabled on your own if you log into your router's account via the internet. You can also call Verizon to have them do it.
