No live video on bbc iplayer

for some reason i can't get live video anymore on the bbc iplayer every thing else is fine

To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
Operating   system
Browser
Flash   Player version
When reporting issues with video or audio, it's also helpful to get your system hardware and driver details. Instructions for finding this information can be found here:
Windows
Mac
Finally, sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player. I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform. If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing. You can verify the use of HTML5 by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the context menu.
HTML5     video
Non-HTML5 video

After upgrading to mountain lion, i cannot play any video at all, be it directly off a DVD, or through streaming like youtube, BBC iplayer or even off my iTunes library

after upgrading to mountain lion, i cannot play any video at all, be it directly off a DVD, or through streaming like youtube, BBC iplayer, love film or even directly off my iTunes library. in each case, all i get is a black screen and no error message.

Hi, i had the same problem and tried this,
Somehow iTunes is tied to Safari. Try this:
Someone mentioned to clear all website data and history in safari, stupid but it was either this or the below that fixed it
or this,
Disable Wi-Fi Networking Services
Many users have reported that they’ve solved their issues by disabling Wi-Fi Networking under Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services. This only relates to your location being used for Wi-Fi Networking, so it doesn’t disable Wi-Fi entirely.
Please let me know if it works.

My Macbook Air is stopping a few seconds into videos (e.g. Youtube and BBC iPlayer) and is doing the same thing with PDF downloads which are only partially downloading then stopping. I changed some security settings yesterday but don't think I touched anything else. Can anyone help?

Can anyone explain why streaming video from BBC's iPlayer is becomes jerky on my Air?

I'm using my MacBook Air to watch streamed video from the BBC iPlayer and the picture becomes jerky after a couple of minutes, only clearing when I close the lid and let the system power down. However it soon becomes jerky again after restarting.
The spec of the machine is 1.8GHz Intel Core 2 with 2GB RAM and about 20GB's free harddrive memory.
Adobe Air app installer also appears to keep attempting to boot.
This is pretty annoying, when during a 30minute programme I have to close the lid every 5-10 mins to make the programme watchable.
Any info would be greatly appreciated, a solution would be fantastic!
Thanks,
JJ

I'm not certan how to tell whether or not it is jailbroken but it's only when I use a specific charger and it's been fine ever since I threw that stupid thing away, No problems with the phone other then simple things I can handle. lol I seriously hope that madness never happens to anyone else!!!!

I am trying to download a video from the BBC iplayer and the downloader helper will not start. How can I solve this problem

I am trying to download video from the BBC iplayer and the download helper will not start. How do I get it to start?

No, this reply is not helpful. It simply generates this little gem:
"This service requires the conversion feature to be enabled.
Configure conversion ?"
And the same clicking on buttons that makes nothing happen and going around in circles with the escape key.

Green Screen on all online video's including dwnloading BBC Iplayer videos

I have a HP 15-g094sa Notebook PC with an AMD Radeon(TM) R5 Graphics card. I am finding i cant wach any videos online or watch downloads from BBC Iplayer. I have clicked on the settings, advanced and accelaerated graphics and it makes no difference what so ever. If i had known i'd have this problem i would never have bought a HP laptop.
Im also finding that when i type the laptop is unable to keep up with what i type and missing letters or symbols regularly this is also very annoying especially as someone who can type at a reasonable speed. I shouldnt have to stop to read it just to make sure the letters are al typing.
I would like solutions to both these problems please.

I'm Having problems with the video freezing and the sound carrying on since I up graded my iPad to ios8 BBC IPLAYER

I Am having problems with the video freezing and the sound carrying on whilst watching BBC IPLAYER ITV PLAYER until I reboot video and the problem acures again

Your Mac runs maintenance in the background for you.
Command + R gives you access to restore, repair, or reformat the drive using OS X Recovery
No idea why that was suggested.
You may have a third party video player installed that's causing an incompatibility issue.
Check these folders:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
/Library/Input Methods/
/Library/InputManagers/
/Library/ScriptingAdditions
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
~/Library/Input Methods/
~/Library/InputManagers/
~/Library/ScriptingAdditions
The first four locations listed are in the root-level Library on your hard disk, not the user-level Library in your Home folder.The tilde (~) represents your Home folder.
To access the Home folder in OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and chooseGo > Library.

Firefox5 is not showing BBC iPlayer Video & Radio Other browsers are all fine(Safari,IE,Chrome) The iPlayer webpage is all there but the flash video player is black. The OS is XPpro.

Firefox5 is not showing BBC iPlayer Video & Radio.
Other browsers are all fine(Safari,IE,Chrome)
The iPlayer webpage is all there but the flash video player is black. The OS is MS Windows XP Professional 32-bit SP3.

Also, when the flash video does not show up it displays the error that I do not have the current flash player. The problem is that I do have the current flash player that actually plays flash from another section of the website.
Forgot to add that earlier.

I used to use IE2 tab in FF to watch video in some sites e.g BBC iplayer. However with recent versions of FF when I switch IE tab for vid I get an error message

The IE tab 2 add on functions correctly in so far as it brings up the page in an IE tab and does so perfectly except for any video windows.
The error message received is in the video window:
"There was a problem initialising the player" and "script access is denied in your browser"
Is there any way to change an FF or IE setting to correct this,
Thanks,

Yes, thanks John99, I was aware of that and I am also aware that FF works well with most if not all video providers most of the time. I use IE tab 2 in FF for the odd occasion when i have problems in the FF tab.
I can also use the tab option of "Open in Ext. App" which also works with BBC iplayer and the other video providers where the "switch renderering engine" does not.
I suppose I may be being a bit of a perfectionist but i think that an application should work properly- it works with YouTube for example, therefore it should work with the BBC- perhaps it is down to the BBC iplayer team. Thanks again anyway.

Problem with BBC Sport live video

Since upgrading to Lion, I have a problem viewing the live BBC Sport video.
It works fine for about 30 seconds and then I lose video but still have audio.
The problem is only with live video- I have no problem watching pre-recorded video.
Anyone have a similar problem? Know how to fix it?
Thanks,
Mark

Hi guys I found out the problem was hardware accelaration settings in the new BBC player. Right click on the video player window, go to 'Settings' and turn off hardware accelaration. The video should play normally.

Streaming video issues i.e BBC iplayer and Youtube with Firmware 3.1.2

Hi I wonder if anyone can help me with a particular problem.I bitterly regret installing 3 as all it has done is added some shake and shuffle nonsense that I never use, and a voice memo thing that I never use. It has also slowed the boot up of the device and also where video streams from the above for example used to play without interruption, now i constantly have the device pause and have the play touch control come up, i press play and it will continue for a few seconds and then freeze again. It has got to the stage where using BBC iplayer and youtube has become frustrating and impossible and it only has started after version 3 firmware was installed. It is an Ipod Touch 2nd Gen bought in Jan this year. With version two the videos played consistently and smoothly. Why do I now have this problem and why do apple encouraged the use of update software that retards the performance of the device. What benefits does it have? Should I continue updating this device or can I ask apple to restore version 2 to the device which ran much better!

It's not the 3.x software per se, it's how it is interacting with your wireless network. If you haven't done so, download and install the latest firmware for your router and make sure your network is providing the speed and stability you need. Solve that and your YouTube problems will be less.

Can't watch video on firefox e.g. bbc iplayer, video doesnt load, what should I do?

When I click on bbc iplayer, no vdeos load or work. I just seen a black screen. BBC news and bbc football I can't watch any videos

By all means try the Reset as advised by Tyler, but note you then loose extensions, open tabs, and possibly some settings, as explained in the article Tyler linked to. (You may wish to bookmark tabs, and extensions home pages. Plugins are not touched by reset)
I note you
* have been using the article [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]]
* downgraded to Flash 10.3 (see system details aside)
* have RealPlayer related software/plugins, so please ensure that is all fully updated
If the reset does not work the next thing to try is disabling Flash Players protected mode, that solves a lot of FlashPLayer problems on Firefox Windows. (Not the simplest of tasks but this [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/forums/support-forum-contributors/708905?last=50206#post-50153 post] contains links to instructions)
As an aside YouTube does or did have options to try HTML5 beta versions, you may need to check whether or not you are enrolled in that, as that may solve or cause problems in some circumstances.

Videos stop buffering/streaming until refresh (BBC iplayer/Youtube etc).

This problem appears to have come out of nowhere.
If watching a video on youtube I can watch it for quite a while then it will stop streaming, the grey bar stops getting longer. It then just shows the buffering circle continuously and doesn't continue unless I refresh the page and resume from where I was stuck.
This happens on Youtube and on BBC iPlayer, although I assume it must happen elseware, but I don't use anything else to know this.
I've tried reinstalling flash and Java, using Chrome, Firefox and IE, it happens on them all. My internet connection can't be the issue as a laptop on the same network has no problem whatsoever and the BBC iPlayer test shows I am way over capable of streaming HD videos.
Please help!
Thanks
David

@David_VI & @Chris Campbell:
Exactly the same problem here:
01) Starts after Adobe Flash Player upgrade to the last version.
02) Same problem with Internet Explorer and Firefox (both last versions).
03) Same problem with both Antivirus (NOD32) and Firewall (Comodo) uninstalled.
04) Same problem with Ad Blocker Plus uninstalled (AdBlock Plus).
05) I've tried to uninstall AFP version 11.4.402.278 and install an old version (10.3), but the problem persists.
No problem with the above HTML5 video sample from Chris, but the video streaming stops with the Non-HTML5 video sample.
All the published possible solutions on other websites and forums (and the complaints are many) are not working (cleaning caches, cookies, and the like).
My System: Windows 7 64-bit, Service Pack 1, Internet Speed Connection: 50 MB/s.
