1 month ago I'm sorry there is nothing AdGuardHome can do to resolve this. AdGuardHome blocks ads. If an Ad is blocked, the way the client (Hulu) handles that is completely outside of AdGuardHome's Control.
Really this comes down to how Hulu handles a blocked ad - and of course you can't complain to them because they don't want you blocking ads.
But I'm sorry there's no way a DNS adblock can influence how a client reacts to its inability to load an ad.

Everything is working very well with the exception of the Hulu app on both Android Fire Tablet and Sony Android TV. Hulu app is playing the intended program fine and then instead of going to the ad (which is then blocked by AdGuard Home DNS) the player jumps ahead skipping part of the program--further down the timeline than it should be.
Even if you jog back, you still cannot see the missing program video.
If I "disable protect" in AdGuard Home webpage then Hulu works correctly again--with the ad showing.
I posted this question on reddit and the only response that I got was from another person saying they were also having trouble with this working "I get the same issue with Disney plus"

Thank you.
Expected result
I expected Hulu to start playing the movie again where it had left off to play the ad.
Actual result
Hulu started playing the movie further down the timeline, and there was no way to scrub or rewind the timeline back to where it had left off for the ad.
