There's no error code. Customer only sees the message "DRM license resquest failed" on LG TV WebOS 3.8 or above.

Translation “I use a broken GEOIP database that doesn’t handle IPv6 correctly.  If you turn off IPv6 then the request 
will use IPv4 and it may work.”.

Disney should hire some proper developers and QA team.

RFC 1123 instructed developers to make sure your products handled multi-homed servers properly and dealing with one 
of the addresses being unreachable is part of that.  It’s not like the app can’t attempt to a stream from the IPv6 
address and if there is no response in 200ms start a parallel attempt from the IPv4 address.  If the IPv6 stream 
succeeds drop the IPv4 stream  Happy Eyeballs is just a specific case of multi-homed servers.

QA should have test scenarios where the app has a dual stack network and the servers are silently untraceable over 
one then the other transport.  It isn’t hard to do.  Dealing with broken networks is something every application 
should do.
