Anyone else experiencing this? The app won’t load - hangs on the title screen. This is using ExpressVPN Mediastreamer DNS on an Apple TV4K. Smartdnsproxy’s DNS works fine. To add, I also use UFlix/Smartdnsproxy and their service is fine with HBO Max. But you can’t get US Netflix with their service.
Same setup as you and it seems to be working fine. Check that your DNS is properly registered with ExpressVPN. And try removing the AppleTV DNS settings, restarting, and enter them again.
Yep not working with HBO, this happens occasionally, usually fine after a few days. Works with US Netflix, Prime, hulu, peacock, Paramount plus. Use VPN LA3 or Atlanta servers, I’ve noticed over last one month, LA3 does not work well on weekends. LA3 is faster, btw I’m located on the other side of the globe. Cheers.
Yep not working on mediastreamer despite reboot, clear app data and cache. I use an android box so I have an option of dns setting for Mediastreamer or using a vpn app by using split tunnelling on the Expressvpn app… … I am not familiar with your device, sorry.
Same here! I already reported
HBO on Xbox One wasn’t working for me with Media Streamer DNS, then I found if I let it sit on the error message for a minute before pressing try again it works everytime. Not sure what’s going on but maybe something similar will work in your case.
My ISP provides me a dynamic IP, a router reboot generates a new IP address. When I relink the new IP to Expressvpn Mediastreamer, I believe this is what solves the issue… Appears there maybe a leak which allows the HBO app to block Mediastreamer access… Give it a shot and see if it works… Worked for me, anyways… Cheers.
Can confirm that I’ve been watching HBO Max without problem via MediaStreamer for the last several days on my AppleTV 4K. So if there’s a problem it may be specific to your setup.
The Mediastreamer DNS might have already been overridden by your ISP or by some 3rd party hard coded DNS. I was advised to use a supported router to use their app on… Haven’t tried it yet though.
I also had intermittent issue with MediaStreamer with HBO Max. One day works OK for whole week, then it stopped worked.
I had to change to LA5 or LA3 to make it work again, then it stopped again after few days.
Annoying as hell.
After 4 days with this issue I decided tu canceled my ExpressVPN subscription. SmartDNSProxy works better with Appletv
Just for info… I just rebooted my router and HBO works again.
I have the same problem
Same issue on my iPhone. US Netflix is working fine as is Peacock. It’s ExpressVPN itself is the issue . The service has gone to shite in the past year.
Is it not working for you on the Mediastreamer DNS? I only use ExpressVPN for it’s DNS on my Apple TV4K.
Ah ok. I’ve reported it to them. Maybe you could too so they know it’s not an isolated issue. I’m finding their support crap this past while despite being a premium service provider.
Will give it a try. Thanks
Strange as others have commented the same as me.
Nah, other apps are working fine and other people on here have commented that there is an issue.
Yeah, smartdnsproxy is not bad but it can be slower with Netflix I find and no one apart from ExpressVPN have US Netflix working I believe?.
