Windows 10: Netflix, Hulu and Kodi playback suddenly acting wierd.

Everything was working just fine up until this past Friday. I was happily binge watching Game of Thrones via Kodi when that stopped working. Can't get any requesters to work. Cleaned all cache and downloads out. Rebooted computer, reloaded Kodi. Still can't get anything to load properly. If I attempt to load my M3U playlist some of the channels work, but most don't. I've checked with PearTV and all my channels are currently working from their end.

While that was all in Neptune Rising I tried to load GoT through Placenta, Genisis Reborn and Covenant. I also tried other TV series. I did get Code Black to load but it was as if I was zoomed in on the picture. If a frame shows a head, all I see is a close-up of teeth and lips. Titles to shows are so large you can't read the letters.

Now I'd be on a Kodi specific forum, BUT this is also effecting Netflix and Hulu as well. I was just going to chalkd this issue up to a usual Kodi "burp" and reinstall. Yet when I went to run Netflix through MS Edge, it was doing the same thing. I thought perhaps Edge was messed up some how, so I tried running Netflix stand alone app for Windows 10 and the same darn thing happens to it as well. Same goes for Hulu.

Latest Windows update for my system was on June 7th so it wouldn't take another 22 days to suddenly muck things up. I just checked my driver too, it's fine for a Radeon 8700 can go.

I haven't installed any new software or anything. I'm too busy packing to move at the end of July. I've ran spyware, malware checks, cycled router and modem. Can't think of anything else to do. Oh.... YouTube and DVD playback works fine! How odd is that?! Suggestions?

Hulu Plus / Netflix playback error when connecting to a second display

Error message from Hulu Plus: Video playback not supported on this device. (PB8 - C0262500).

Error code from Netflix: U7361-1235-C00D7159

This wasn't a problem before, and I am unsure when this became a problem. Maybe it's a known issue already. I am in Windows 10, and I do have the latest update. Netflix and Hulu Plus will play videos until I establish a connection to a wireless display
(in this situation, my TV). As soon as the connection is made, the video stops and the error message comes up -- any thoughts?

Hulu/Netflix failures

Neither Netflix nor Hulu work, Hulu is saying I need an updated graphics driver or just plain won't work.



HULU error message: We're sorry, there was an issue playing the video you selected. (PB4-system.exeception: 3100 an error has occurred.)

This happens on every video I choose. In their details of the error they say to update the phone (already do this regularly) or install an up to date graphics driver. Graphics driver? Where do I get that?



Netflix error message: Netflix streaming error Error Code: P8106-5052. This title is not available to watch instantly. Please try another title.

This happens on every video, including the ones that they created just for streaming like House of Cards.



I'm pretty frustrated with the limited support that I'm getting on this issue.

Hello,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused, I understand you are facing issues with Hulu Plus and Netflix.

What do you mean by “I do have the latest update”? Are you referring to Windows 10 system updates or app updates?

You may open the store app and check for the latest update of the apps (Hulu plus and Netflix). If available, install it and check.

Try the following methods and check if the app works fine:

Method 1: I would recommend you to run app troubleshooter which automatically fixes some issues that might prevent your apps from running, including suboptimal screen resolution and incorrect security or account settings.
