@matthuisman,  Well, that worked perfectly!  Thank you SO MUCH!

And the automated export of the live Hulu channels to the IPTV Simple add-on moved channels, EPG and icons over just right. Really, really appreciate your work.  Really helps keep everything inside Kodi. You truly rock.

@matthuisman, sorry, came across what appears to be a different issue. Live TV streams start beautifully now, thanks to your Widevine update advice, above. 
But now, each stream/channel runs perfectly for 5+ minutes, but it then starts to stutter and then stops.  Would input of the Supporter ID I received earlier in the day into the add-on help? Hadn't planned to input it 'cause I didn't think I'd need the extra features.

I enabled logging, but it created a huge log file over 70K lines, so I added the beginning of the log and the end of the log here, if this is of any use at all?  To create the logs I started Kodi, started a Hulu live TV stream, let it run until it stopped, then I hit stop.  I then started the same channel again, let it run until it stopped, then I hit stop and exited Kodi.

If a complete single log would be better, I can certainly provide it, I'm just not sure where to paste it/send it, the paste.kodi.tv site can't seem to handle such a long log

Your new issue will be simply the ads. Kodi inputstream adaptive doesn't support ads correctly. Out of my hands until they fix

Does it make any difference to the troubleshooting that the stream stoppage came during the aired program as opposed to during a commercial break?

Sorry if that’s a stupid question. Genuinely appreciate your time, effort, and your sharing of it all with the community.

oh, hulu might be due to the "patch" updates.

Well, my take away from those posts is that the Hulu app is currently nonfunctional for LIVE TV and that is essentially up to IA to implement a real fix. PLEASE let me know if I misinterpreted anything in those posts. I’d love to have Hulu’s live channels integrated into my Kodi install.

Also, not a programmer here, but if there’s anything I can do, place I can post, Hulu credentials I can loan, please let me know.

Really appreciate everyone with the know-how who takes the time to create for Kodi and share it!

I find it strange that the whole Kodi has to run with inputstream adaptive developed by one person, if this person stops working, will Kodi stop working? Can't anyone in the world support this addon program to make it work better?

I have seen many addons like InputStream Helper developed by emilsvennesson first, then many others contributed to continue developing it like dagwieers, mediaminister, horstle.

Is inputstream adaptive too difficult?

Just my humble opinion

what is our other options?
Feel free to help!
