TCM 6039 Via Hulu programs blocked by device ID?

Channels DVR Server TV Everywhere
#1

Just curious if anyone else has seen some programs via TVE 6039 (TCMHD via HULU in my case) get blocked with a graphic from TCM that stays up and says "This Movie is not available on this device"?

Note, I had padding before and after and the stream (commercials) were displayed normally before and after the recording.

I have recorded other shows on this channel, but never seen this before. I can tune in live now, and it works as expected.

The show that I tried to record was "MGM Parade" 1955-09-14 this a.m. at 2:29 PST , running for 33 minutes (with padding).

I don't think devs can do anything, so not asking for detailed investigation, but curious if others have seen this on this channel via TVE?

Edit: Adding logs, but there is nothing special noted:

I doubt this has anything to do with your provider. Most likely TCM does not have the rights to stream the film directly over the web, and their license for that program requires it only be offered through traditional/first-party avenues.

(This is similar to the sports blackout notices, I believe.)

Makes sense, thank you!

Yes that's the same message seen on their website which is where the stream comes from
