Netflix Plays, But Icons Won't Display
-
Good day,
Have any of you seen an issue like this before?
I open Netflix on any device in the home network and none of the assets load. No user icons, no cover art or images, but if I select something the movie will play fine. If I disconnect the home network and use cellular, everything works.
I've tried disabling all kinds of things like DNSBL and such, resetting states, rebooting devices... No luck. Wondering if there were any suggestions? I don't see any logs that seem obvious.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks...

@house-of-cards I would prob open it in a browser - do they load with that, if not - you can fire up the developer tools and see what is actually trying to be loaded, the fqdn, the url etc.. Does it not resolve via dns, are you blocking access to the IP where it would get these resources, etc.
-
@johnpoz It loads in the browser... Not on any of the iOS devices though. iPhone or Apple TV's. They are different subnets, but nothing is being blocked in my logs.
-
And all the other streaming services are working fine..
-
@house-of-cards I only have iphone and ipad to test with for apple device... And just fired up netflix and looks fine here.. Are you running them through a vpn or something? you using what apple call it their limit ip tracking shit where they route your traffic through them to hide your ip..
-
No, nothing like that...
It's a really strange issue. It was working forever, and just cut out a couple days ago. That's what led me to think it was pfBlocker or something. I figured maybe an IP accidentally got added to a block list or something.
I've been scouring the logs looking for blocks when I'm trying to access things, and nothing.
-
One difference on that subnet is it is the only one I have UPnP active, since it's the only one with streaming devices.
-
@house-of-cards you sure and the hell do not need UPnP to stream anything that is for sure..
-
@johnpoz I just have that because some of my home automation stuff seemed to communicate better with it enabled, but didn't want it on everywhere. I just limited that for that network because all my streaming device and home automation devices reside there. Excluded from everything else.
-
@house-of-cards why would your automation stuff need some inbound port opened? I have multiple different brands of automation stuff and none of it needs any inbound ports that is for sure.

I have a plugin in Home Assistant which connects to pfSense and pulls in all kinds of sensor data. It wasn't connecting until I enabled UPnP. Might not have been the whole problem, but it seemed to work after enabling it, so I left it alone.
-
@house-of-cards well why don't you look to see what ports UPnP has opened if any.
-
@johnpoz Do you think any of this has anything to do with Netflix?
I have tried adding a rule allowing the Apple TV any access to anything, and it's still broken. I have T-Mobile Home Internet, and it's double-NAT as a result... If I connect directly to the wireless signal sent off that device Netflix loads.
I'm wondering if because Netflix is included on my cell plan, it's somehow verifying I'm connecting through their service, and it thinks I'm on another network? Or if there is any way to test that?
Still confused...
