watching Wild Green Yonder with a friend, me watching the movie on my Plex, them watching the version broken into episodes on Hulu.

i pulled Hulu up to make sure i stayed synced, and the Hulu version quickly pulled ahead of mine. i didn't notice a missing scene but i wasn't paying close attention to the Hulu version.

when Hulu auto-cycled to the next episode, even with outro and intro credits, it brought it back to sync with my version. we're ⅓ through episode two, and Hulu is currently 14 seconds ahead, although we started this episode synced.

That's interesting. If you document more discrepancies please share. I could totally see Hulu or other platforms doing this type of thing to somehow get more favorable metrics - showing more ads maybe?

well, just noticed the Family Guy Star Wars episode 6 episode is 44 minutes on Hulu and 53 minutes on my Plex.
