Videos won't play on Roku CBS All Access

I whitelisted the only 3 domains that were blocked (see below) and restarted dnsmasq but still can't play any videos.
cbsinteractive.hb.omtrdc.net
dw.cbsi.com
om.cbsi.com

I'm paying for the no-commercial plan so no ads are to be delivered anyway. Any ideas what I can do to fix this cause it's annoying to have to pull out my laptop and disable pihole for 30 seconds each time I want to see something on CBS.

restart the roku device it will have a dns cache internally that needs to be cleared

Tried that but no joy. I should mention that I'm running Pi-O on a Pi Zero W, doing DNS over https with Cloudflare. Everything else works like a charm otherwise after blocking Netflix on TCP 53.

Shutting down Pi hole for 1 minute doesn't help either, I have to get in the router, remove the DNS entry pointing to Pi hole, save the config and reboot the Roku. Once that's done, I can revert to the original settings with Pi hole on and videos play.

Based on this something in your network is caching DNS

It is obvious that Roku is catching the DNS but there's nothing else in my network that would do that. I'm trying to figure out what's the best approach to troubleshoot this.

Here's the log:

From the answer, all 3 domains resolve to their correct IPs and none of them are blocked at Pi-hole level.

There's something else that's being blocked but deff not those domains.

Can you tail the log when trying to play through Roku? It will tell you in real time, what's requested and the the request status.

I did that and you can see it 4-5 posts above, it's starts with "Here's the log".

It fails at this check.

The domain is present in list.0.raw.githubusercontent.com.domains
but if you have it whitelisted, that should override that restriction.

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ pihole -w -l
Displaying gravity resistant domains:

1: dw.cbsi.com
2: cbsinteractive.hb.omtrdc.net
3: om.cbsi.com
4: cws.conviva.com

When I try to lookup the domain it fails, even though you see it's in the whitelist:

nslookup cbsinteractive.hb.omtrdc.net
Server: raspberrypi
Address: 192.168.17.2

DNS request timed out.
timeout was 2 seconds.
DNS request timed out.
timeout was 2 seconds.
DNS request timed out.
timeout was 2 seconds.
DNS request timed out.
timeout was 2 seconds.
*** Request to raspberrypi timed-out

what is your Pi-hole version?

See if anything here will help:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ pihole -v
Pi-hole version is v3.3.1 (Latest: v3.3.1)
AdminLTE version is v3.3 (Latest: v3.3)
FTL version is v3.0 (Latest: v3.0)

looks like there's a hiccup there ...

is that the output of a command executed on the pi ?

You might want to create a debug token so that the devs can look into the debug log for any possible errors recorded there.

I just nuked the whitelist and did it in CLI, still not working. Also, not sure how to remove the 1st empty line:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ pihole -w -l
Displaying gravity resistant domains:

1:
2: dw.cbsi.com
3: cbsinteractive.hb.omtrdc.net
4: om.cbsi.com
5: cws.conviva.com
