Original story (published on April 26, 2021) follows:

Hulu subscribers have been facing several issues and the video on demand service provider is trying to fix them.

Among them, the channel temporarily unavailable, Error code: P-DEV318, and loud commercials issues.

Now, subscribers are reporting about a new problem where they are unable to watch programs from where they left off.

As per recent reports, the Hulu app rewinds and even restarts programs when users play them after pausing for sometime.

For some Hulu users, programs start from the beginning when they resume after pausing them and for others, the content simply rewinds for seconds and even minutes.

Everytime I pause something on Hulu on firestick it goes back a few minutes in the show I’m watching for some reason. Does anyone else have this issue or not?

Also, Hulu has not yet acknowledged this as a widespread issue and is simply providing generic troubleshooting to users.

Moreover, it is unclear whether users are able to resolve the problem after troubleshooting or a fix is required on a larger scale.

Issues like this can be quite annoying especially when you are paying for a service. Subscribers usually expect a smooth experience but that does not appear to be the case with Hulu.

While the service provider is trying to fix existing issues, it is not a good sign that new issues like this one keep popping up.

So, whether or not the said issue indeed requires a wider acknowledgement or fix is anybody’s guess.

Hopefully, Hulu addresses all these issues soon as they have been causing inconveniences to subscribers for quite sometime now.
