[Bug] I can view videos but only when using Pi-hole local DNS. #5083

I don't know what to make of this but if I have two conflicting scenarios I thought might be of interest:

When I access invidious via IP e.g. http://<local-ip-address>:<port>, then I:

1) Can log in 2) Cannot play videos within Invidious UI

When I access invidious via Pi-Hole local DNS, e.g. http://some-host.local:<port>, then I:

1) Cannot log in 2) Can play videos within Invidious UI

Could local DNS be a solution to YT blocking, or maybe I'm just lucky?
