BBC iPlayer

Always been able to access and play programmes from bbciplayer  on my Sony tv but for the past 2 weeks I have been unable to play any programmes from this app.  The app is there, programmes are shown but every time I click play, the programme continually starts and stops and then buffers. So annoying. Checked all connections, even did a factory reset but still nio joy! Can anyone out there advice?

I usually go in through the menu and select the app. Is this a different way ?

Using green button when watching a programme activates bbc player so you can view that programme from the start. If your tv is 2016 model it can do this

Beta version just experimental for bbc. I think it was created for 4k compatability
