RTE.ie not working

[poflynn]

This is an EC2 box running in Amazon's Irish data center. I get the same error from my home machine but it is a much older version of Fedora so I left that out. Any ideas?

Can you watch it in browser in the first place?

[poflynn]

Well, the box in the log above is just an EC2 box with no desktop and thus no browser but when using it as a proxy I can watch this show in my local browser just fine using the provided URL. I am based in the US and this particular show is geo-fenced to be only available in Ireland. I notice I can download all the other non-geofenced shows no problem using my US-based box. This is why I set up the EC2 box in Ireland, assuming that that would fix my problem, but it didnt. Does this make sense?
