I’m having issues with both TVNZ and ThreeNow apps not playing on demand content via AppleTV. 

 

  • LAN is Omada gear. The issue could possibly be a setting. WIFI is good via AppleTV (~290mbps). Issue exists when using ethernet connection to router.
  • ISP is 2Degrees which we had at our previous address and it worked fine until we moved house. Has not worked at the new address. 2 Degrees are not helpful.
  • Its not an issue with the AppleTV - I have moved it to another site (parents in law) and it works fine.

Live TV works fine. All the other Apps and internet usage all work fine, just on demand via these two apps. TVNZ just hangs. ThreeNow give a Playback Error that reads "There was an error loading the video. The video may not be available in your area or if you are currently connected to a VPN., disconnect from it and try again."

 

It has been an issue now for a couple of months and I'm at a loss.

 

     

  1. What settings could I check on my / Omada side? ER605 router.
  2. What questions couple I ask the ISP?

 

Any ideas? I’d really appreciate it.

What DNS Server are you using? both on the apple TV and on the Omada?

 

Does the issue happen on the same apps on a phone or in the browser on a PC/Mac?

The issue only occurs on the AppleTV. I can watch on my phone without issue.

DNS on the AppleTV says “192.168.0.1,192.168.0.1”. It’s the same as the Router directly above it on screen but says it twice.

DNS server on the Network is set to Auto.

For AppleTV the DNS is just set to Auto.

On a Mac I cannot watch any episode on demand.

I just throws up “Error Code: undefined”.

I have switched out the DNS details for Google 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and that has resolved the issue!

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Guessing I am ok to leave the Google details in there. Is you have any suggestions please let me know.

Thanks again.
