Akamai timeout

Hi all. Is anyone else having issues with TVE where it times out loading the channel? It happens to my wife all the time and she starting to get annoyed with Channels. I submitted diagnostics last night when it happened. Any help would be appreciated

Bumping this back up as its really annoying my wife :slight_smile:

Seems like some kind of network issue on your end. Are you using your ISP DNS server? No VPNs?

I am running pihole on my synology. I just switched my router to point back to 1.1.1.1 to see if that helps.

Thanks for finding that Aman!

Can you try switching to your ISP's DNS? We've found that using 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 can cause CDNs to be confused and pick a POP that isn't optimal.

Done. Thanks again for looking into this. If this works I’ll just decommission my pihole instance. I feel like its been giving me nothing but problems.

I’m still getting random timeout issues. This time its not giving me an Akamai URL but something just isn’t right when I try TVE channels.

I’ve submitted a couple diagnostics in the last couple weeks.

Yeah, looks like you're having local DNS server issues:

2022/09/12 00:57:10.234775 [ERR] Failed to refresh auth: Post "https://community.getchannels.com/dvr/api": dial tcp: lookup community.getchannels.com on 127.0.0.53:53: read udp 127.0.0.1:47644->127.0.0.53:53: i/o timeout

Something is going on on your DVR server or your router...

Ok thanks Eric. I’ll go thru everything to see what’s going on.

Found it @eric! I apparently hard coded my DVR server to my pihole instance.
