Hulu Hulu Location

[theairedale]

Anyone else encountering a problem with "Share Your Location With Hulu"? Just started today, it says you need to enable location sharing in your browser, but it isn't an option in StreamFab settings?

Yew, encountering the same issue.

Same problem on 6.1.4.5 and 6.1.4.6

Work-Around

1. In your favorite browser - start movie from HULU (have not tried with series)
2. Copy URL once movie starts
3. restart Streamfab - do not open HULU
4. Paste URL in "Search or visit a website" (Easier than Paste URL Button)
5. HULU Downloader should appear - Select options desired
6. Click Download now

Thanks for the tip but that doesn't work. Still comes up with the needs location screen.

Where are you all located? Are you using a VPN to get to a non-local Hulu location? What Hulu Region do you have set up in StreamFab's Settings?
I just did many downloads, TV and Movies, from Hulu and have not been requested for my location.

I'm in New England USA, using Hulu US, also tried Hulu auto. No VPN. I have never had this problem before, been using Streamfab for almost a year....As suggested I used Firefox to play a movie and that was fine but got the location message when I copied and pasted the URL into StreamFab....

Also should say it was not the update. It started yesterday on the previous version, so I installed the update and it was the same.

My only suggestion at this point is to go into your Hulu account and remove old devices that are listed there. The other option is to click on Remove All Devices. Try to keep the number of devices to a minimum. Everytime a new update of StreamFab comes out, it is considered a new device.
This also holds true for a Peacock account. They are extremely picky about the number of devices you have and will throw up "kitty" errors because of it. Sounds like Hulu might be going that route as well, but I haven't seen it yet.

Thanks, it wasn't that either. I'll hang tight, seems like these weird things randomly fix themselves (or are corrected behind the scenes)

Here you go. Thanks for looking into it!

Yup, need to add permission to share location in the browser.

Yup, need to add permission to share location in the browser.

Is this something I can do or do I need to wait for an update?

[theairedale]

We have to wait. It might not be an update but will just start working again at some point. It seems like things usually get fixed on Mondays. It might help them if you upload your log file (see above_.
