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.

[nwaves]

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.

what is your Pi-hole version?

[PSA] Having Whitelisting issues with 3.3? Read here

Hi All, After a few days of pulling out our hair and troubleshooting this whitelisting issue that some of you have reported, we're finally getting to the bottom of it. The good news is, whitelisting is not completely broken. You can still whitelist domains from the cli with no issues by calling pihole -w [domain-to-whitelist]. The issue only affects whitelisting from the admin page (whitelist page, query log, and block page) Take a look over this pull request where I've attempted to explain w…

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:

[RamSet]

Can't think of anything else. Something is stuck there. I do see several other cbs related domains being Pi-holed though.

Run a pihole -up first then a pihole -g

As a last resort, try removing pi-hole and reinstall it (and whitelist again).
Unless someone else has a better idea...

How do I delete the 1st empty whitelist line?
