BBC iPlayer no longer works on iPhone (UK)

Have been able to access and play BBC iPlayer content without any problem for ages but it has stopped working.
When I tap the click to play button it will play the sound but video will no longer load - just sits there on splash screen with Play button greyed out. Is this a known bug or a deliberate change by BBC to nobble the service?
Cannot find anything anywhere about this issue so maybe its just me. Javascript is enabled in mobile Safari settings and as far as I can see nothing has changed.

Outside of the UK, the BBC is a commercial organisation and creates a few extra paid for Apps for the international market, including "BBC Listener" which we don't get in the UK. However, all the BBC Radio Stations and TV Stations/programs are available for free on the web in the UK (and the radio stations in most third-party radio streaming apps).

  • Wifi no longer working on Iphone 6

    wifi no longer working on Iphone 6

    First, try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data by resetting.
    If this does not help, set it up as new device, explained here:
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    If still no luck, get it checked by visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider or contact Apple Support to get it serviced:

  • BBC iPlayer has stopped working following firmware...

    Hi all I have recently upgraded the firmware on my N97 to 12.0.026
    No noticeable difference that I've spotted yet but BBC iPlayer has stopped working.. I get a Script alert saying Type error: undefined value
    Anyone got the same? .. any solutions .. I have removed the app and reinstalled it but no change
    Thanks in advance for any help
    Harvey

    it has something to do with these updates are editing scripts for more performance however they are also messing with the custom scripts associated with some applications, upon updating i had to delete and re install almost all my user created apps. best bet to do is always backup to memory card even if is just settings, then when something goes wrong you just restore and it will return the scripts to normal.  

  • Bose headset no longer works on iPhone 4

    My Bose headset, which worked flawlessly on 3GS, no longer works for voice control and voice memos on my new iphone 4. They still work fine as headphones but the microphone no longer is operational. The Apple supplied headset works and if I unplug the Bose set the voice dialing and memos work okay.
    But when I use the Bose headset and try to record a voice memo it includes a rhythmic static every half second or so. Voice control is completely non-operational with this headset. I'm thinking something with the noise canceling is screwed up.
    Anyone have any possible work arounds?

    Ya, this is a bit of a Joke.
    I have an $80 pair of skullcandy headphones with Mic that I just recently purchased for my iPhone 3G. When I jumped to the iPhone4 it doesnt work. The apple headset works every time. When I plug in the skull candy, I can hear the person I'm calling but they cant hear me and to add to that, there is this staticy pulsing sound on the line from the headset. If I press and hold the Talk/Music button on my SC headset, the person I'm calling can hear me but they say I sound like I'm in the background. I thought as you did that the mic on the phone was then in use, but when i disconnected the headset, the person I called said it changed and I sounded "Really" far away at that point.
    Apple: So how do I fix this? I refuse to carry around two headsets and the apple headset is less than desireable for quality music listening.

  • Facebook no longer works with iPhone 4s

    For the last two days my Facebook app on my iPhone 4s no longer works.  I click on it and it tries to open but it just goes back to the screen.  Any idea on how to fix this?

    Do you have the current FaceBook app version installed?
    Any change after a reset which is similar to a computer restart and is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release?
    If not, any change after deleting and reinstalling the app?

  • Mail Sounds No Longer Work on iPhone 4.

    The sounds for mail, incoming or outgoing, no longer work on my iPhone 4 (4.3.3).  All it does is vibrate even though that is set to Off.   All the other feature settings are set to ON. I have checked all the sounds and they work, they just don't work with the Mail any more.  This is a MobileMe IMAP account.  I tried re-setting everything without deleting data and that made no difference.  The sounds worked perfectly up until a week or so ago.  Any ideas on how to have them function again?  In addition, when I connect the iPhone to my iMac (Snow Leopard 10.6.7) the phone also vibrates.  This is a new feature as well.  Any chance a setting in iTunes might have caused this, and, if so, how to remedy it.
    Thanks!

    Problem solved.  No further action.

  • M4V no longer working on iPhone

    I work for a software company and do the video tutorials. I always export a .MOV version and export an iPhone version using QuickTime's export features. Before the .M4V versions always worked on iPhone, but they no longer work. Not on iOS 4 or iOS 3. However, .MOV files that were exported with a size suitable for the iPhone do work. Can anybody help me with this?

    From iPhone tech specs:

  • Sounds no longer working on iPhone 4

    Hello,
    So a few days ago I dropped my iPhone 4. I'm not 100% sure but I think that is when my sound stopped working. The speakers are working fine, I can hear music and things like that. None of the phone sounds such as clicking when lock/unlocked, keyboard clicks etc are working. When I press the + and - volume buttons the icon does not appear, same as when i mute/unmute it. No sounds, nothing appears. Also, when I receive incoming calls the ringer no longer works.
    I have tried cleaning with toothbrush, restarting, restoring, blowing in the phone, etc.
    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    I do not have insurance on my phone (I know, I know) but I was in the process of buying a house and moving when they did the switch from mobileprotect to att&t so I apparently missed it and it was too late :/

    I have no doubt that this is a hardware issue, probably caused by the drop as you said. By restarting and restoring without success, you have basically ruled out a software issue. All you can do now is pay $149 for an out-of-warranty replacement, or try to find one elsewhere for cheaper.

  • JBL Radial dock no longer works on iPhone 4 after iOS 5 upgrade.

    JBL Radial dock no longer charges my  iPhone 4 after iOS 5 upgrade however I still Can play music.
    Any help on that ?

    OK a bit of success over the weekend. Not sure if it will help you guys. So i have an IPHONE 3gs and it would not play any music through the JBL but it would ring (through the JBL speaker) and charge while connected.
    I sync'ed through itunes and made sure i had the latest version of both itunes and the IOS on the phone. Then pushed some podcasts and albums down from my computer to the iphone through the computer.
    This must have sone something as now everythign works fine. all radio and music apps now play through the JBL.
    Hope this helps.

  • Charger cable no longer works with iPhone 5s

    Hello:
       My white lightning iPhone charger cable used to work to charge my iPhone when I plugged one end into a powered USB and the other end into the iPhone.
    Now, if I am lucky, I will get a message stating that this device is not supported by Apple and may not charge this iPhone.
    Is there any setting, to turn off this bypass, so that my charger cable  can be used to charge my phone?
    Or what is missing from my charger cable which allowed it to charge fine in an earlier version of IOS that no longer work in 8.1.3?
    Thanks in advance

    Clean the squashed fluff and debris out of the phone's charging port with a wooden tooothpick or similar. Be gentle.

  • Headphones remote no longer works with iphone 4s

    I just purchased an iphone 4s and when i was listening to music the skip/back track functions no longer work, is there any suggestions to make it functional again.
    Double click reduces volume to 50% or brings up Siri where it should skip to next track

  • Bluetooth no longer works between iPhone 5 running iOS8 and my 2012 Buick LaCrosse

    Since I uploaded the new iOS 8 on my iPhone 5 the Bluetooth connection is no longer working correctly in my 2012 Buick LaCrosse.   The phone pairs (illuminating the Bluetooth icon in the car stereo display) however then it doesn't work.  I cannot receive calls or can't make calls.     The iPhone display shows "Calling" and the number shows, but nothing happens. 
    I tried the suggestion from ChrisJ4203 below, however it did not work for me.
    “Go into the phone and remove the vehicle from the Bluetooth list. Turn Bluetooth off, and do a reset on the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. Then go into the vehicle and remove the iPhone from the list of paired devices. Turn the vehicle off and then back on again. Place the vehicle's system into discovery/pairing mode. Go into Settings on the phone and turn Bluetooth on. The devices should see each other.”
    Any other ideas?   My iPhone worked fine from Jan 2012 to now in this same car.

    We have a 2011 Buick Enclave and the Pairing worked.  I did have to hold the phone button, say Bluetooth, Say Delete, Say the specific device to Delete ...The Pair, I think enter the code (which changes each time you Pair) and then Name the New paired Device.  To test it, I typically have to turn the vehicle off, leave the vehicle and walk far enough away to make sure the phone is not paired.  While away, tune the phone totally off.  Turn the phone back on, enter and turn key far enough to have the electrical systems come on, and then push the phone button in the car.  Good Luck.

  • BBC iPlayer just stopped working on N97 - 29/04/10

    N97 Firmware v21.0.045
    Just last night BBC iPlayer stopped working for me has been working every other day (and have used it every day for last week or so) and never had any problems in the past.
    Symptom; app a bit slow to start and a bit slow to load up the images then whatever Telly or Radio programme I select when I press on  the "Click to Play" icon nothing happens at all and makes no difference with repressing, phone is registering the press as I`m getting haptic feedback.
    Uninstalled and reloaded from OVI and tried old version there, upgraded newly downloaded version from OVI both via the app itself (after uninstalling every time) and updated via BBC webpage and downloaded whole app new version from BBC web page. All without joy, the only thing that I think I`ve done or changed routine in last couple months is that yesterday I downloaded Steve`s Phones Show on my phone last night and watched it on phone using the video player and then deleted the download. I mention this as I think iPlayer uses the Realplayer engine to plahy stuff and it seems as if this is not connecting or has had a routing changed somehow  or is hung up doingh something else (have tried playing video recorded using phone without problem and have no other video files). Phone is short on C: between 5-12MB but has been like that for six weeks and app worked before.
    Anyone similar experience or any thoughts? - did search the history but couldn`t see any similar probs or hints. Really Really really don`t want to reset it and rebuild it.
    Thx

    At least when media has gone a bit ditsy on my s60 I have found that deleting these files on C-Drive has helped.
    delete:
    MdfPluginArchive.txt
    plugin_archive.txt
    There is sometime one called Hxmeta.... or something like that...
    And then restart phone. Media player will re-create the files.
    Not sure if these are exactly the same on N97, but at least they are there on most others that I have used.
