Hulu Very long analyzing and not detecting 1080p

[MrGrackle]

Unsure if there is a change or if they are presently having network issues, but trying to get anything from Hulu right now, it is taking a very very long time to analyze and then it is either stating 1080p is not available or that I am watching too many videos at one time. That is usually indicative of one of two of these problems (code change or network issue). One other symptom is that it is not seeing h265.

Try switching the Hulu codec from h265 to h264. This has been a known issue for over a year, been reported to SF many, many times, and only hits on some episodes

I've given up on this one ever being resolved, but using h264 works without fail on Hulu (for me at least)

That was an issue with those that are using a duo plan account. Something literally just happened today that changed the way they serve the manifest. Maybe everyone gets the new duo-plan manifest now, regardless of plan connected. If that's the case, maybe they will finally look at the issue.
The lack of h265 means you also do not get 4K streams.

All I can tell ya is that I ran into this very issue today, and resolved it exactly how I did.

SF needs to get on this. It's definitely not a "was an issue", it's still going on

Yes, I agree they need to get on it. In my old threads several posts were made where the manifests were there, just not being read by SF.
I would not consider the issue "resolved" if you have to toggle to h264. Like I say, no h265, no 4K. 4K content will probably show you an h265 option, but it will be at a lower bitrate and only HD 1080p.

About a month ago, I was surfing around. There was no separate Hulu or Disney+ that I could find, only the Disney+ with Hulu packages.
In doing searches, I was given an option to trial for 4 months Disney+ and Hulu (both with ads) at about $3/m.

Just now, I only tested a few items on Hulu, but all offered and came in H265 using streamfab.

When I first started with Disney+ and Hulu, Hulu created content came in 4k, now I have trouble finding anything in 4k, even the Hulu made content.
Now with the 4k as I said I could get Hulu created content in 4k, maybe now I am trying wrong items but even Bill Burr_ Drop Dead Years or Hellraiser or Vacation Friends or Only Murderers In The Building, do not come in 4k and seem to be Hulu created content.

(see more of my endeavors >here concerning Disney+ & Hulu (both with ads))

In the end, I have to look past not having 4k, as no other provider I use gives it via streamfab. (Although sometimes a regular YouTube video, lol.)

If some are having H265 issues, I hope it gets fixed for them.

ADDED: I went back to 6227 & 6225, still nothing in 4K, Hulu. I don't feel it's our place to keep having to go back to different versions to see if something works or not.

Unfortunately, there are days to be happy when getting 1080p or even 720p, and not 540p, and I do not even want to mention 480.

ADDED #2: I did find that Wolf of Wall Street is not H265 and either gets stuck at analyzing or analyze fails.

I believe they are updating security now (it's not complete though, some accounts still can use old endpoint, thus L3 4K), 4K DV/HDR and SDR (regardless of original content or not) is now need L1.

Actually, the whole thing is messed up at the moment, Wilson.Wang

Thanks for confirming it is not just me. I not doubt have a message from Rain in support telling me to delete my cache or clear my queue.
I was downloading a very popular crime drama TV show and then suddenly h265 went away. Even for episodes I was successful for before.
The thing is, the episodes are closer to 4Gb in h264, but closer to 1.5 in h265. In a pinch, yeah, I still get them but it's double work when you have to replace them later or do your own recoding.

Yes, thanks for tagging Wilson.Wang hopefully it is just a simple code update and not.

chris01 does 1080p h265 also require L1 now? Their h265 is as you know 10-bit SDR --- Does Disney+ already use the new format? (It works with my Duo account and anything h265 that is available does work)


I guess the good thing, if there is one, is that the fix is probably also the same fix for Duo accounts.

Well, 10Mbps rates for h.265 are for 4k material, yet SF picks that as 2k, so hopefully it's just another case of a provider messing around with API...


I have h.265 disappear on me etc, but closing and re-opening the provider tab seems to cure that

There are two h265/h2641080p tracks after their update, one is L3 and one is L1, both looked same to me.
