Watching the videos on the Website works fine. I can’t see any geoblocking issue.

Since Bibel TV (https://www.bibeltv.de/mediathek) is still not supported here's another attempt:

I can only agree with what @ranzeyer said above:

Watching the videos on the Website works fine. I can’t see any geoblocking issue.

Would be great if someone could make Bibel TV working! (Or at least explain what's the geo-restricted problem here...)
Thanks a lot
