BBC iPlayer

[claredrews]

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 ?

[AstroSmurf]

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

[AstroSmurf]

you must be on a bbc channel for this to function

and try switching to beta version

What is the beta vesion? Whats the difference?

[claredrews]

Sorry, yes I get that now. The label at the top right of the screent to "watch from the beginning".

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

Still stopping, starting and constantly buffering..
