Cannot record from Hulu

I just re-activated an inactive Hulu account.  I have recorded shows from Hulu before but now it does not work.  I can record from Amazon and Crackle and from a re-activated Netflix account.  I can watch videos from Edge and the Playon browser.  I tried re-installing the latest version but nothing changed.  Is anyone else having problems?

    I had the exact same problem.  Re-activated my Hulu account, but now I can't record any shows.  PlayOn tech support can't fix my problem.  I can watch Hulu shows on Firefox, Chrome, Edge browsers in real time.  PlayOn tech support said it was an Internet Explorer problem, and for me to report it to Hulu.  I tried working with Hulu, but they said their site does not support Internet Explorer.  I haven't heard anything back from PlayOn tech support since reporting the problem to Hulu, which is not a problem for them because I can use other browsers to log into Hulu.  Anyone figure out how to solve this problem?  I feel like I am on my on without any help from PlayOn.  Thanks!

    I created a new Hulu account and now I can record shows. This is a workaround, not an acceptable solution. I can't be creating a new account every time I want to re-activate my account.

    I figured out how to look at the log files. The log is a picture of the Hulu "Start a new trial" page. I just need to figure out how to get past that.

     

    After  a few days I tried my original account and it worked then.  I believe that I eventually had to call Hulu and get the two accounts merged.
