[mdlug] "An entitlement is required to play this video. "

[Brandon Fotiu]

I have noticed that with Firefox there is an internal cache for DNS that 
doesn't always get refreshed even with pi-hole disabled.

I usually have to disable, close the browser, then reload the page in a 
new browser window.

What web browser and OS are you using? If it's Linux-based have you 
installed the correct non-free codecs?


Lately I have the same issues with Javascript. I've been trying to 
continue with NoScript but at this point the web isn't going back to the 
old days and it's an inconvenience to whitelist every page. I'm 
considering just blacklisting the major players and working from there.
