Hi guys. The Microsoft Edge is my favorite browser of all times, really, but not when I try to watch netflix or other video streaming services, it always breaks, I have no ideia what to do anymore. Always when I try to play something there's an error and then I need to reload over and over again, sometimes even when I just play the video it stop working when I try to play again. Help me to keep using this best browser that I've ever seen.

I've ever tried to disable hardware acceleration, enable DRM content, install Microsoft Silverlight and a lot of other things, but I didn't get to watch so far without an error I keep receiving these error codes: D7356-7701 and others related. Is there's still something that can be done to really fix theses erros or I just have to be patient and wait for news versions of the browser?

Netflix doesn't work - error "NW-2-5" (network issues) - started about four or five days ago.
When the TV's DNS is manually set to 8.8.8.8 Netflix works, set back to 192.168.20.254 (pihole) it stops.
BUT Netflix works on ALL other devices that go through the Pihole...?? PC, phones, Xbox... they all work, except the TV.

OK here's something weird. To try and narrow down the issue a little I went to the blocklists page in the console and unchecked ALL the lists, planning to enable them one-by-one to see which one is doing it.

I am having the same exact issue but not only with Netflix but Disney Plus and Hulu. Main difference is every Netflix app on my network will not launch unless pointed to a outside DNS server. 4 Rokus, PS4, TVs and Bluray players. Doesn't matter if Pihole is enabled or not. I have also disabled all block lists just like you but still won't launch. Only way around it for me so far is with Cascading Routers. Have the pihole on the forward facing router and all devices on the back router. Set the back router DNS server to the IP of the forward router.

I have the same error code as you and just like you I have disabled pihole, and removed all blocklists. Netflix still wont launch but like I said the main difference is all of my devices are having issues.

Hm, interesting. I have an Asus RT-86U with Merlin, there was a Merlin update recently too. The Asus provides ethernet/wifi to the house, and gets its WAN from the router that was supplied by my telco.

But somehow, Netflix doesn't like talking to a DNS server that is not public, with the router being the only exception (as demonstrated by @JonnyB's router cascade). This is probably due to Netflix seeming to be excruciatingly rigorous at shutting out access via VPN or through a proxy.

Now, I don't have a Netflix account, an Asus Router or an LG TV, so the following paragraphs are kind of a blind shot attempt to apply a mildly related solution to a different problem. You have to decide whether it's worth a try.

When trying to fence my TV from leaving my home network in ways I didn't approve of, I ultimately resorted to putting it into a separate WLAN raised by a separate Zero W where all DNS traffic was forced to Pi-hole, regardless which DNS server my TV was using. To that end, I had to alter the Zero's prerouting table.

As far as I am aware of, Asus routers allow ssh login, so you could give that approach a try by extending your router's iptables. I won't post them, as there is an easier way in your case: You happen to run your router with Merlin, so you can set up DNS Filters.
From the UI, find LAN DNS Filter, switch "Enable DNS-based Filtering" to ON, and select "Router" from Global Filter Mode. Assuming you have defined Pi-hole as local DNS server via the DHCP settings, leave the custom entries blank.
(I am assuming Merlin's documentation as well as a corresponding screenshot are up to date)

Both approaches - iptables via ssh or DNS filters via UI - should produce the same result:
They force any(*) DNS traffic on your network to reroute through Pi-hole.
So when your TV requests to resolve api-global.netflix.com through Google's 8.8.8.8, your router will show that request friendly but firmly to your Pi-hole instead, while your TV thinks it is still talking to Google.

I can access my Netflix account via my computer and can stream to my Xbox and other laptops. I've been on the phone three different times with Netflix tech support and they're telling me it's currently a "known issue" with iPads - but there's no ETA and and I'm not seeing any other reports of this on other forums.

Both of my iPad2s (32gb WiFi) can now access NetFlix with no problem. However, these are my daughters' iPads. MY iPad is a 1st gen 64gb 3G and yet I still cannot access NetFlix. I'm getting the "cannot connect to Netflix at this time..." error.

Not sure what this "known issue" with iPads would be with Netflix's iPad app. That would be like Microsoft claiming a problem with Word for the Mac is an OS X or a particular Mac model problem they have nothing to do with whatsoever.

Just so you don't feel all alone on this, yes, I'm having exactly the same problem ... except that it's with my iPhone. I can connect through the TV and desktop ... but not using the Netflix application I just downloaded from the iTunes store. I launch the "app" using WIFI and get the "We are unable to connect you to Netflx. Please try again later" message. Worse ... the "app" is frozen ... so there's no maneuvering.

I am having the exact same issue on my iPad 2 (16gb wifi) and, just like you, the Netflix screen freezes with the error message up immediately upon opening the app. Also having no problems streaming from my iPhone, laptop, or PS3. Sorry I can't help but I'm glad I'm not alone!

So I called NetFlix tech support for the 4th time last night. This time, they didn't even pretend to have a clue what the problem was. They had me reinstall the app, they changed my password, blah blah blah. Finally they told me "it's obviously an Apple DNS issue you should make an appointment at the Genius Bar". HUH????You. Have. Got. To. Be. Kidding. Me. I can get to EVERY website and access my corporate Exchange email. This is NOT an DNS issue and Apple is not my ISP. So with that, I've canceled my NetFlix account.

I can't get access to netflix via iPad. I can via wii and computer. Netflix has sent me to apple but I don't want to pay 39.99 for support. Hoping someone knows what to do so I can get access given my son is using the wii right now

Assuming that your iPad (regardless of whether it's an iPad or iPad2) can connect to netflix.com through the iPad's Safari browser, you're probably not going to get this resolved. The problem is at the Netflix end and the fact that they are redirecting users to Apple indicates that they don't have a solution and are grasping at straws. That said, I suppose it's possible that Apple made a change in iOS 4.3.3 that may have broken connectivity with Netflix's streaming servers but if that were the case, we would see a lot more users complaining about this.

Coming around full circle (at least in my case), for sh!tz and grinz, I reopened my Netflix account today. Now I'm getting it once again on my iPad and both iPad2s. Note that I had to delete the Netflix app and reinstall it on all 3 iPads, but I'd done this MANY times over the past several weeks.

i'm assuming it's something on the netflix servers and how they handle requests from the apps on Apple devices. As you say they've obviously changed something on their backend. too bad they wouldn't own up to it instead of trying to say "Apple DNS" obviously they don't understand basic networking ;-)

I am having the same problem, started july 8. did a netflix rest in the settings box on my ipad1, reinstalled my app, then called netflix support. they found out that my ip address had me in Colorado, rather than Virginia, and that was the problem. I use DSL for my internet connection. They suggest I call Apple support, but Apple would not help. I will try to release my ip address and see if that fixes it.

@sagederek1111 @VirginMediaIE are you having any issues with internet speed in Dublin 8? I can't load any streaming app on my telly like Netflix or NOW TV and last night the quality of the picture on Netflix was poor and it kept pausing to load

@ThrylokyaB @JioCinema Whats wrong with jio cinema? I was waiting to watch olympics , and today @JioCinema is not working or responding to watch olympics its very slow and laggy, our internet is really fast every other platform Youtube, netflix, hotstar are running well except @JioCinema

@hannahigwe23 9)second and 1.1 terabits per second, respectively. The following month, domain name system service provider Dyn's network was targeted, making a number of websites, including Amazon, Netflix, Twitter and The New York Times, unavailable for hours. The attacks infiltrated the

@TomlinJeanne @Noonanovazara @mandijel @silverrich39 You are the one doing emotive crap claiming for example that anyone with problems paying heating bills is blowing their money on Lattes and Netflix.

@GonzalesMi8051 Just had a major power outage at home but thankfully the squad from the power company came through and got it fixed in no time. All is good again, can't wait to get back to my gaming sesh and catch up on some Netflix. Life's good when you've got a solid support system, right?

@1876Lulu @nathansldennis @afneil My very elderly parents do not have Netflix, mobile phones, eat avocado on toast, smoke, drink, have a car, drink latte's from Starbucks or anywhere else and have worked all their life's and raised 3 children all without claiming benefits. Your answer is absurd

@marc_downing @netflix It really sucks that you changed the windows app to where you can no longer download movies to watch offline. I work in remote areas a lot with no internet service, and it was great to be able to download titles to my laptop to watch offline. Not anymore. Thanks a lot ?

@swatson2022 @Theeban_07 @Yogace_Dfan No 152 is final gross. You can check any site.. 220 netflix is only 130 and now the 130 deal is also dropped due to bad response. OTT now looks for hit flop also. Same with for all movies including Rajni. And who said 220? Is it only OTT or digital+ satellite?
