I’ve been having issues with Hulu working on my shield for a long time but if I unplugged the shield for 5ish minutes Hulu would usually work fine but now it keeps giving me this error code whenever I try to watch anything on Hulu, anybody have a similar experience and how do I fix it
What error code?
If it is P-DEV320 it is an ongoing problem that affects random users, and you can search this sub for some of the potential fixes.
Here is one thread to get you started.

Good luck.
The “fixes” work randomly for some people. For me, once it died the 3rd or 4th time, there was no fixing it. However, if you have Disney+, you can access Hulu from it. It’s in Beta, and while it knows you have an account, and what you have access to (ads or no ads), it can’t see your show library or your watch history. Hopefully they fix that. I read somewhere, maybe here, that they’re combining the apps and eliminating the stand alone Hulu app.
If it’s the dreaded issue mentioned in the other comments. Casting from the Hulu app still worked for me. Real pain in the ass
Always works for me and others when hardwired - basically stop using wifi.
Hulu is always having problems with its software - but at least the interface isn’t terrible like Prime.
P-DEV3XX?
I gave up trying to fix it. Managed to fix it a couple of times but it comes back. Eventually just started using my Apple TV 4K for Hulu.
On the SHIELD if you have Disney+ you can watch some Hulu stuff in that instead. Otherwise you’re kinda stuck.
Still an issue for me hardwired or not. As others have said it can be caused by several random issues.
It seems to be tied to the retrieval of ads from what I’ve heard
I thought so as well as I use pihole, private DNS and have unusual ISP situation. I tried disabling these (outside of ISP thing), but still couldn’t get it to work. I know it could be a combination of things, but gave up as I have other devices that do work.
