Error message when streaming BBC iPlayer via iPad

I'm using ATV (v7.0.3) to view BBC iPlayer (v 4.5.0.64) content via an iPad Mini Retina 2 (IOS 8.1.3) so everything is up to date.
I can watch programmes directly on the iPad from BBC iPlayer either by streaming or downloading. Both work OK.
When I try to watch streamed content via Apple TV via Airplay, I get a message "An error occurred loading this content. Try again later." Every time. If I mirror, the quality is very pixelated, juddery and keeps stopping, so is really unwatchable.
I can successfully download programmes to the iPad but when I watch via ATV, it just keeps stopping, showing the spinning disk. I have to go back and start it playing again. Sometimes it stops every few minutes, sometimes it will play for longer, but it is very frustrating.
We have watched TV programmes Airplayed from other apps, including Netflix app, with no problems. We watch Netflix and Youtube direct on ATV which works flawlessly.
We do use a VPN service (for BBC iPlayer and for Netflix) but that shouldn't really affect anything.
I can't understand why it plays perfectly on the iPad but not on ATV. Any ideas please? I see that this question has been addressed before but never adequately answered, and not in the last year.
Thanks.

Of course it will, using anything other than what is supplied by your ISP is going to introduce streaming issues

  • Black screen when using BBC iplayer on iPad

    I've recently purchased a 64G wi-fi iPad. When watching BBC iPlayer on my iPad the screen goes black after a few seconds  but the audio is still audible.
    Any ideas as I've just bought Apple TV to watch iPlayer on via my iPad.
    Kind regards

    I am having the same problem.  I've tried the reset as suggested above and tried to watch through the Internet on the iPad rather than through the app. I have also changed my auto lock to never. This very frustrating. The audio streams perfectly but the picture is lost after 2-3 mins.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • I keep getting "the network connection could not be established" error message when trying to update my iPads and iPhone to iOS 5.1

    I keep getting "the network connection could not be established" message when trying to update my iPad, iPad2 and iPhone4 devices using either my iMac or MacBook.  The Macs and iOS devices are apparently working correctly otherwise.  Problem started about a day ago when I connected one of the iPads to my iMac and iTunes notified my of an update for the device.  I tried and got the above message.  Tryied other iPad2 and iPhone4 and get the same message.  Also, get same message when trying to update using the MacBook. My system SW is 10.7.3 on the iMac and 10.6.8 on MacBook.  iTunes is version 10.6. Have gone thru the check list of things to check and have re-started. Would appreciate any ideas. Thanks.

    Another user named Springbk posted a fix that worked for me as I was having the same problem today:
    I Changed my DNS settings to OpenDNS
    On a Mac go to SYSTEM PREFERENCES>NETWORK>ADVACED>DNS
    change DNS by adding ( + )
    208.67.222.222
    then
    208.67.220.220
    click okay/apply after. then try the update. after the update, just delete the two open DNS server numbers. should revert back to your old one.

  • Why do I get an error message when trying to sync my ipads with my imac

    We have two ipads - version 2 I think - the last ones with the old style plug.  Both are running IOS 7.1.1  Over the last week, every time I try to sync either ipad with my imac (27" - about 18 months old) which is running OSX 10.9.2 I get the following error message.  "The Ipad cannot be synced. An unknown error has occurred (1723)"  In every case it takes a while for the error message to appear - the sync gives every impression of rolling along just fine through the various steps - when it reaches step 5 of 6 (syncing photos) it seems to hang up, then after a while the error message shows up. 
    Interestingly, there are no photos on the ipad, so nothing to sync to the imac, but I discovered all of this when I tried to sync some photos in the other direction, from iphoto to one of the ipads. All I got was the pin wheel of death. I am running the most current version of iphoto too.
    Any suggestions on how to fix this would be gratefully accepted.

    Can you create a test Project in PrE 9 and does that work. If so, close that Project and then Open it again in PrE 9.
    It could be as simple as your PrE 8 Projects just not Opening in PrE 9. There is often forward compatibility, but not always. It is usually best to finish Projects in the version, in which they were started.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Error message when creating export Job via GRID

    Hello All,
    I am trying to do an export using GRID control 10.2.0.4. The database host is a Windows 2003 server with Oracle 11.1.0.6 database. After I create the export job, GRID generates the following error message and the job fails:

    Any ideas?
    Thanks,

    I think you may be hitting bug 6272323. This is fixed in 10.2.0.5, problem exporting 11g databases on windows with 10.2 GC. I suggest you raise a SR and ask for a fix.

  • I keeping getting an error message when I try syncing my iPad. Itells me that 13.5Mb are needed and 41.2Mb are available

    I can't sync my iPad because it will not sync my apps. "The iPad cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all the items on the iTunes Library (13.5MB required and 40.5MB available)

    DId you try quitting iTunes, rebooting your computer and restring the iPad? If you haven't tried that yet, give it a shot.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen.

  • HT5654 i get this error message when i plug in my ipad to my computer.

    The ipad could not be synced because the sync session failed to start.

    Hi, Annie Tunzer. 
    I would recommend closing all open applications in multitasking, power cycling the device and restarting iTunes.
    If an app is unresponsive but the system seems to respond to button presses, you can force the app to close:
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app's preview up to close it.
    iOS: Force an app to close
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

    Once you have processed these steps, attempt to sync again.
    Cheers,

  • Error message when connecting PC Suite via Bluetoo...

    Using:
    Nokia 6500 Slide
    PC Suite 6.85.14.1
    Bluetooth dongle: MSI Star Key 2.0 V2
    Vista Ultimate
    Tried while using the BlueSoleil stack (on install disk) and also tried the Vista Microsoft stack.
    Phone pairs with no problem. Once PC Suite has paired it says 'Press Next button to authenticate phone'.
    It waits 2 seconds then reports:
    'Cannot Authenticate the phone'
    I have tried the same with my old 6280 phone with the same problem.
    The net (and these Nokia boards) is full of posts from people who have had the same problem but I cannot find any solution.
    Can anyone help please.

    This solution allowed the itouch to communicate with itunes and then instantly recognised that it needed to be updated to software version 4.1. All's good so thanks for this

    We were able to update iPhones but get an error message when trying update our iPad. Ay suggestions?

    What iOS are you currently running?
    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • Error message when trying to open windows7 via vmwarefusion.

    error message when trying to open windows7 via vmwarefusion.;
    Unable to open file "/Users/geraldw/Documents/Virtual Machines.localized/Windows 7.vmwarevm/Windows 7-000016.vmdk": The system cannot find the file specified.
    I've completely uninstalled vmaware fusion. and would like to install a new copy of windows7 plus my vmware fusion3.0 that I have on a disk. I wonder if windows7 is still buried in my mac hard drive somewhere?  I can see some windows files on my mac but they appear a gray and can not be accessed. Could there be a problem installing a new copy of windows through boot camp?   It seems to do so wouldn't be a clean install as I suspect that windows 7 is still on the drive somewhere. I've tried to follow the path the file I listed above, but nothing comes up.  I'm almost certain  it was accidentally deleted completely from the hard drive as it was quarantined while using Clam X anti-virus. I'm a relatively new mac user and long time PC user, but a computer genius I am not. I don't want to have to reformat the whole mac machine and lose my current files, etc.
    I've uninstalled vmare completely and reinstalled, it, but the problem persists.
    Any help?

    You will probably get a better response asking this question in VMWare's forums for Fusion.
    Best of luck.

  • Error message when connecting to iTunes says my new iPad 4 can't be connected as it requires version 10.7 or later. Surely a new iPad already has the latest version, and if it doesn't how do I get it?

    Error message when connecting to iTunes says my new iPad 4 can't be connected as it requires version 10.7 or later. Surely a new iPad already has the latest version, and if it doesn't how do I get it?

    Not the iPad - your computer must be running iTunes 10.7 in order to sync. It has nothing to do with iTunes on the iPad.
    You can download iTunes for your computer here.
