Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

I'm getting [Errno 11001] getaddrinfo failed when i try to download from tv.nrk.no. I have also tried other url's than the one provided in the log.

This might be the same issue as 13796, but in reverse. It appears that NRK has changed their API domain name back from psapi-ne.nrk.no to psapi-we.nrk.no (as a simple nslookup of these two names can confirm).

[surfmuggle]

I was able to fix the issue #25670 but do not know which change did the fix

In my router i changed the dns server and turned on ipv4 only
In cmd.exe i entered

• ipconfig /all
• ipconfig /release
• ipconfig /renew

After all this i was able to download again.
