Any progress made on this? Hulu is the last piece of the puzzle that I need to bring all of my content onto one machine.

Just wanted to pop in and say that I would be very interested in a HULU addon as well.

Same here

Me too.  I finally got Netflix and Amazon Prime working on my Kodi box.  My wife still watches HuluPlus though.  I hate that she has to alt-tab out.  She never alt-tabs back.

I'd love to see a working addon for subscriptions to Hulu.

please and thank you.

2020 update? Didney+ worked well. How about Hulu?

I'll check out the Disney+ addon device authorization and IA process over the next few days. Hulu's DRM and API were very closed and took a lot of trial and error, but with Disney in charge things may have changed.

Hulu uses DASH for the most part but also still uses HLS. I do t think inputstream can handle both at the same time and I haven't figured out which streams Hulu uses which DRM on. I'll work on some more code this weekend and focus more on the DASH.

I believe HLS can be converted to .m3u8 format. Am I correct?

Here we have some brand assets for the addon. 

So, @snoopyjoe have you achieved playback of any kind?

Any major effort right now on a hulu addon could be at least partially wasted.

Hulu is currently using a version of their api that is essentially of the same api base that they have been using for over a decade.

But there have been reports in the media (see here) that disney will be switching hulu over to their bamtech platform sometime this year.

If they do this, it might be that they transition hulu away from their legacy api, and adopt something more like what is seen on disney+.

Disney Star is currently available in Europe, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Singapore. Korea, Japan, and Hong Kong will be supported in the future.
The standalone Star Plus will launch in Latin America on August 31, 2021.
I think Hulu will remain a standalone service in the U.S. and Japan, and Hulu will probably license content internationally through Disney Star and Star Plus.
In the current without Kodi Hulu Add-on. I think one of the best ways to watch Hulu is through the Windows Edge browser. It can support HEVC 720p and Dolby Digital Plus 5.1ch.

The Star Plus preview page code shows the supported regions.It is worth noting that there is currently no indication that Star Plus will serve the United States.
