Cleared cache? Using same setup as you and works for me, so doubt it's the dns.

I think it’s to do with their new update and app.
I’m running pihole and the website and app won’t load past that screen for me either. Their videos never loaded in the app previously because of the ad that shows prior to the content.
I suspect it’s the same issue with there being a full screen ad between the loading screen and website. Because the ad doesn’t load it gets stuck and won’t connect through.
The workaround that I’ve found is to go to stuff.co.nz/world first and then navigate from there.
I have pihole & same thing, it loads a big S splash screen that animates for ever & goes nowhere. But if you browse to /world first you can then view the whole site.
But, given their "upgrade" also seems to have ditched their RSS feeds, my workaround is to simply not read Stuff anymore.
I kinda think we should have an independent, protected and taxpayer funded media service. Would make for better politicians.
Ignore my ramblings. I'm just frustrated at the state of our media/news and can't think of a solution.
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, or are unaware of Radio NZ.
RNZ is great, Of the mediums it doesn't have the same reach, it's quality which should happen on TVNZ etc. I know they are funded as well, but it seems like they are just as bad as everyone else.
Interesting, my pihole stops the app from working but the site viewed on a browser works just fine. Video too.
Do you use a custom block list? I haven't strayed from the default one but was thinking of playing around with them
Actually haven’t used the website for videos so not sure whether pihole interferes or not. Will need to test it.
After the 2 hot fixes they pushed out over the last couple of days the app at least now loads.
I can open stuff.co.nz just fine here
I think adguard-dns is blocking the domain where the script is hosted
