This troubleshooting guide will explain how to fix Hulu error code P-DEV318.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Causes the Hulu Error Code P-DEV318?\n<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"What<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

The error P-DEV318 code means something is wrong with your connection to the Hulu servers, preventing playback. This could be caused by:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. A glitch in your streaming device\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. A problem with your internet connection\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. The Hulu servers are down temporarily\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    How to Fix Hulu Error Code P-DEV318\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Here are four ways to fix the frustrating P-DEV318 error code:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Check If Hulu Is Down\n<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The first thing to do is check if the Hulu servers are up and running. Hulu doesn\u2019t have its status page, so open DownDetector<\/a> and check there. Alternatively, you can check Hulu Support on Twitter for any status updates.\n<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"How<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

    If either of these sources indicates that Hulu\u2019s servers are experiencing issues, your best bet is to wait for a while and then try again. In the meantime, you can always check out the TV shows on some of the other streaming services like Disney Plus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2. Troubleshoot Connectivity Issues\n<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    If the Hulu servers are running correctly, then the problem likely lies with your network connection. If your internet is having issues, you\u2019ll need to run through some internet troubleshooting steps<\/a> to find out what\u2019s wrong:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Check your <\/span>internet speed:<\/span> <\/span>Open Speed Test<\/a> on your web browser and press Run<\/span>. If the website doesn\u2019t load, your internet is down. If it does, make sure your internet speeds are as expected. Remember that you need a download bandwidth of at least 3 Mbps to watch Hulu on the lowest settings.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
      \n
      \"How<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Restart your <\/span>router<\/span> and <\/span>modem:<\/span> <\/span>Unplug it from the power source, wait for a minute, then turn it back on again and wait for it to boot up. Once it does, ensure your device connects to the internet (via Wi-Fi or Ethernet cable), then try loading up Hulu again. If it doesn\u2019t connect to the internet, you\u2019ll have to contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and find out what\u2019s going wrong.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
        \n
        \"How<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
          \n
        1. Ensure you don\u2019t have a Virtual Private Network (<\/span>VPN<\/span>) enabled:<\/span> VPNs<\/a> can cause problems accessing Hulu content (and other streaming services) because they spoof your location.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          3. Troubleshoot Your Streaming Device\n<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

          If the Hulu servers and your internet connection are working fine, there\u2019s probably something wrong with your streaming device. Here\u2019s how to find out:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Try using a <\/span>different device<\/span>: There might be something wrong with your device that\u2019s preventing it from connecting to the Hulu servers. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Restart your <\/span>streaming device<\/span>: <\/span>How to reboot your device will depend on what it is. To restart an Android device, press and hold the Volume down <\/span>and Side buttons<\/span> simultaneously. Press and hold the Power and Volume Up buttons to reboot an iPhone. If you use something else, like an Xbox One game console, Apple TV<\/a>, Fire TV, or a smart TV with a Chromecast, press the Power button<\/span>, wait a few seconds, and then turn the device back on. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n

            4. Troubleshoot the Hulu App\n<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

            The next thing to troubleshoot is the app itself. If your connection and device aren\u2019t causing the issue, it might be a problem with the app\u2019s cache data, or the app may be an older version that\u2019s no longer supported. Here\u2019s what to do:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            1. Clear the <\/span>Hulu app cache<\/span> (on Android): <\/span>If you use a smartphone to watch Hulu, the app\u2019s cache may have become corrupted. To clear the cache on Android, open the Settings<\/span> menu, then select Apps<\/span> > Hulu<\/span>. Next, tap Storage <\/span>and choose Clear Cache<\/span> <\/span>and Clear Data<\/span>.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
              \n
              \"How<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
                \n
              1. Update the <\/span>Hulu app:<\/span> <\/span>To find out if updates for your Hulu app are available, load up the app store (Google Play Store on Android and the App Store on iOS devices) and search for the Hulu app. If there\u2019s an update, it\u2019ll say \u201cUpdate.\u201d If there isn\u2019t, it\u2019ll say \u201cOpen.\u201d <\/li>\n\n\n\n
              2. Reinstall the <\/span>Hulu app:<\/span> <\/span>If nothing else fixes the error code P-DEV318, your final resort is to uninstall and reinstall the Hulu app. To uninstall the app on your smartphone, press and hold the app icon until the option appears. Then, reinstall it from the app store. On other devices, you must head to the device\u2019s settings, find the Hulu app, and select uninstall. Refer to the manufacturer\u2019s instructions to learn how to use your device. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
