iPlayer has started encrypting their streams, I am having to use the iPad streams which don't seem to offer a HD version

That's naughty of them, considering they're playing with the UHD HLG thing now....is it Dynasties?

.is it Dynasties?

Not sure what you mean?

Not sure what you mean?

Sorry....'Dynasties' is the latest BBC Natural History series with David Attenborough.
BBCiplayer is experimenting with UHD streaming at the moment.....and they're using 'Dynasties' as a platform.
Good results too....

Ran into a problem trying to get to the box set of Watership Down both from "Popular" and A-Z (individual episodes also) though the 2 part version is OK as seems everything else. Screenshot and log attached.

Thanks!

Have you tried the BBC via your browser? Other than the problem I still have with the Watership Down boxset everything else seems good.

I do apologize - it appears to be a VPN issue. Thanks so much for your help!

Hi there,

Been catching up on "Silent Witness" oj BBC iplayer and as of late the beeb have created sub links to the series (17 through 22) on iplayer via a browser and now mediaportal will only list the episodes for series 17. I can't find a way to get to the other episodes. Is there a way? Have the BBC broken it again?

Thanks,
Andy.

I'm also seeing the same, I would guess OV is not setup for the way the BBC have used the sub links for each series so it can only display the first page.
Hopefully @Brownard can fix it. BTW is there anything new on Live ITV2 &3?
