Blocking Roku ads on my pihole (lemmy.world)

I have a pihole server on my network. It used to block the ads on my roku's homescreen and only empty placeholders would show up.

I bought a new Roku player and it doesn't seem to have any of the ads on the homescreen blocked by the pihole. Configuring the "secret menus" doesn't really do anything, as far as I can tell.

Does anyone have any updated methods for blocking ads on the Roku homescreen?

Nice! You should also be able to use the pihole logs to check which domains it's hitting if you need to loosen it later.
