Duplicated entries under Samsung, some comments won't work

[LordMike]

Hey,

I looked into this to block ads on my Smart TV, and found that some lines are duplicated while others won't work.

Example. This line will likely block everything under the domain, including the time.samsun.. line:

PiHoleBlocklist/SmartTV.txt

Line 168 in fbd2536

samsungcloudsolution.com

PiHoleBlocklist/SmartTV.txt

Line 209 in fbd2536

#time.samsungcloudsolution.com # if blocked, services like Plex, YouTube and Amazon Video not working anymore on some Samsung TV's

It makes sense to me that if samsungcloudsolution.com is blocked, then time.samsungcloudsolution.com is also blocked. And if that's the case, then the other *.samsungcloudsolution.com entries aren't needed.

I found this as time.samsungcloudsolution.com was blocked when it shouldn't be. :)

Hi!
If time.samsungcloudsolution.com is blocked, your TV will request "pool.ntp.org" or "worldtimeserver.com" as you can see in this screenshot:

I don't say that you're wrong about the fact that blocking this domain is useless but I just remind that it doesn't break any feature.

(Btw, maybe time.samsungcloudsolution send also weird date such as telemetry (while ntp don't do that) but that's just a hypothesis...)
