BBC iPlayer (UK) (2 Viewers)

I've pushed a fix

Many thanks all looking good again.

For some days I have not been able to play Live ITV 1 or 4 (ITV 2&3 have not worked for ages) in OLV, no problem via my browser and catchup programs are still OK.
Anyone else seeing this or knows the current status?????????

Anyone else seeing this or knows the current status?????????

I can confirm it's not working for me either, I'll investigate.

How is it looking? Any hope of getting Live ITV working again?

Hello all ... I am having a few issues with BBC iPlayer. I can view it fine from the browser.

When I try live TV I get the following:

I get the list of resolutions but then when I try to start to play I just get the spinner and eventually it times out with the message "Error starting playback. Connection is lost, cannot reopen".

Please let me know if I can provide any further information. Thanks!

@Brownard - just wondering if you still check this forum ... you seem to be the expert with the BBC streams

I'm having the same issue with ITV now

Same here. ITV live has been dead for a while but now catchup is also no longer working. All OK on my browser.

 

[joecrow]

For some while BBC was not working for me in OV, possibly due to an internet connection issue, but has now returned to life, both live and catchup. However I seem to have now lost the program information for Live, see attached screenshot, still ok for catchup content.
ITV is still completely down in OV though ok via my browser.

 

[joecrow]

Since last night I have not been able to view BBC 2 Live in OV (Connection is Lost and cannot Reopen"), all other BBC Live and Iplayer content seen to be working OK. BBC 2 Live is working fine via my browser.
Anyone else seeing this?
