That's what I did and BBC started working again. Seems not to have worked for Dashie.

I always have trouble streaming on bbc iplayer, but if I download the program it works fine

bats

I can't download and now the streaming problem is back. Netflix is on the fritz too so I am off to bed with Mark Twain instead.

We have used FilmOn for a few years now. Always works well. Sometimes you can watch for free, but only ITV .. 1,2 and 3.... We do pay a yearly sub, which runs out next week...

Has anyone found problems using on an ipad ?

Used to work fab iplayer on ipad behind a vpn - now wont open, states update required, try to update but ONLY lets you upate the Global Version which costs

Back to computer

Mr Bean

I used to use that and pay the subscription and never had issues with it. Small price to pay.

The Mediahint trial thing didn't count at all. I never replied to their emails at all and watched BBC1 last night no probs at all.

Weird

The iPad version works properly for me for the first time in a long while. Whatever they've changed, I'm happy with it.

The UK iPlayer app is only available in the UK store. If you're seeing the "global" version, you're probably signed in to the Canadian store. Sign out, then back in using your UK iTunes account.

My iPad just tried to autocorrect "UK" to "Ukip". I'm not amused.

I just tried iPlayer but got the not working try again message repeatedly.

Watching live was no problem. So I thought I'd try downloading the catch up show (From there to here) that wouldn't play, so I downloaded the iplayer thingy but the show doesn't seem to download. It just sat there with a pause option but didn't do anything.

However, I went back to the usual catch up bit to see if it was still not working try again and I refreshed the page.

I noticed there was a Watch in HD option rather than just clicking the usual 'play' bit. I clicked that and it played.

I remove adobe flash and reinstalled. I noticed that there had been an update on that around the time the problem started. It's been ok since but that just might be a coincidence.

Incidentally, on the BBC page there is SD, HD and AD. I know the first two but what's AD?

Googling gets ADHD results.

Mind you, it was worth it for this gem

bats

I think it's Audio Ddescribed. For blind people.

Ah, thanks.

I've started opening the iplayer website in a private browser window in ff. Seems to work reliably for me.
