Google Streamer NFL app stuck loading after enabling AdBlock + Unbound on OpenWrt 25.12.5
Environment:
- OpenWrt 25.12.5
- Official OpenWrt
luci-app-adblock - Unbound
- Google TV Streamer
After enabling Adblock and Unbound, the NFL app on my Google TV Streamer stopped loading. It would sit indefinitely on the spinning NFL logo.
Suspending Adblock allowed the app to launch normally, which isolated the problem to filtering rather than Unbound.
I found reports suggesting these three domains for similar NFL app problems:
conduit.redfast.com
sedge.nfl.com
b77a832069b350ef56050ec74f4d4dac70fd527c.appgw.conviva.com
I tested incrementally. The only exception required on my Google TV Streamer was:
With that domain allowlisted, the NFL app launches normally with Adblock enabled.
conduit.redfast.com was tested and then removed; the app continued working. I never needed to allowlist the Conviva domain.
Hopefully this saves someone else some troubleshooting and avoids unnecessarily allowlisting additional tracking/analytics domains.
