Fixing Hulu Error Code P-DEV323: Comprehensive Guide

Encountering the P-DEV323 error code when attempting to stream content on Hulu suggests there may be some connectivity hurdles.

If you have already visited Hulu’s official Support page on Twitter for updates regarding downtime or planned maintenance, the next step is to examine your connections.

How can I resolve the Hulu P-DEV323 error code?

1. Turn off your adblocker extension

1. Open your browser (Chrome, for instance) and paste the following URL into a new tab: chrome://extensions/
2. Scroll through your extensions and deactivate the adblocker plugin, which, in many reports, has been identified as UBlock.
4. While you are here, inspect your other extensions and remove any that appear questionable. Continue this process until the issue is resolved.
5. Alternatively, try accessing Hulu via an incognito window to see if the P-DEV323 error still occurs.

Often, Hulu experiences buffering or connectivity problems due to extensions that disrupt its functionality. Users on browsers may face connection-related errors, such as the RUNUNK13 error, due to additional add-ons, so minimizing or disabling these can improve your streaming experience.
