Another user said it was not the first time the issue occurred and asked not to stream the match for mobile edition, if the same problem continues.

Disney+ Hotstar has responded to the outage claiming that the service is witnessing unforeseen technical issues across the app and web services. The streaming service has assured that their team is working on this to ensure the issue gets resolved soon.
As per the Truescoop report, Hotstar showcased a PB-4000 and an NM 4000 error to some users. According to the organisation's official website, Disney+ Hotstar's error NM 4000 occurs only if the site is unable to detect location.
This issue mainly persists when an individual is using VPN services to watch Disney+ Hotstar contents. VPN portals or proxy websites block user's location data that cause the site to show Disney+ Hotstar error NM 4000.
