Why can’t I connect to my bbc Iplayer all of a sudden? All other apps working. Can access via live tv/catch up but not where it sits as a Sony set up app
Iplayer will only work through YouView. selecting iplayer from Sony Select Menu gives a blank screen. I have tried resets etc but still does not work. Sony software is up to date.
factory reset does work but iplayer fails again after a few hours.
Just started a couple of days ago on my KD-49XH8196.
When accessing BBC iPlayer through Sony Select, the screen goes black but never shows the BBC logo or gets as far as the account selection screen. Similarly BBC Sounds shows a splash screen with the logo, but never reaches the user account selection. Channel 4 and ITV X seem unaffected.
BBC iPlayer and BBC Sounds through YouView both still work as normal.
Sony Select app version is 10.2.6.
I suspect a factory reset will downgrade Sony Select, but automatic updates will then redeploy the latest version - so my money is on a problem in the latest Sony Select release. Not sure where to report this though.
Yep, I left it overnight and in the morning BBC iPlayer no longer works.
This coincides with the update to the TV home screen UI, i.e. choosing the TV's default Google account, and seeing home screen recommendations, although this may just be a coincidence.
My iplayer has stopped working completely. Just showing a blank screen and can’t be reinstalled. Google play says it’s not available. What is going on?
I'm having the same trouble here. BBC Iplayer is probably the most used service of its kind in the UK and it can't be accessed by a Sony TV running Android. This really isn't good enough. Its been like this for a few days now.
