    Hulu HULU app being retired

    So, Disney announced HULU app will be retired; and now that they own it fully, it will be rolled into the DISNEY+ app(s).
    The Hulu app isn’t long for this world, according to Disney. While the standalone app is being phased out, however,...

    In Germany, "Star" is becoming "Hulu." They're probably cleaning up.
    NEVER use the update function within Streamfab. Always download the offline file!

      I think it's mainly U.S./North America, as Variety says they are expanding the HULU app internationally, which is likely going to cause some minor confusion with the SF app at some point for those of us in the orange cheeto hellscape.

        I don't think it will cause confusion. SF will simply disable the Hulu module once the change happens. Right now, in Canada, we see this on Disney+

        So in the states, it should stay the same but the Hulu section will have more stuff and a LiveTV section if you pay for the Hulu add-on and the LiveTV tier

        Everywhere else, Star will be replaced by Hulu. Hopefully, that means there will be H265 for all of the Hulu section as the Star section had mostly H264, even if it was H265 on Hulu (Like Family Guy for example)

        For international users, it's a great change. For US, it depends i guess...

          If this is just about the standalone Hulu app (not the website), then would any of this actually affect SF since it accesses content via a browser?

            One thing I read the other day said the HULU website would also go away, but now I can't find it to link to. Doh.
