![]() Thanks for the prompt to try again, let's hope it stays OK, and doesn't disappear again. This also means we can now develop and release new features quickly across all devices: computers, tablets, mobiles and TVs. To make sure we’re offering the best, most consistent experience across all those devices, we’ve rebuilt BBC iPlayer from the ground up. Technology is always changing and people are using BBC iPlayer on an ever-growing range of devices. The system that supported the feeds was part of an old version of BBC iPlayer. This has been on the BBC iPlayer FAQ's for a day now.īBC iPlayer feeds aren’t available any more So I wonder if they did something early on today to correct whatever the problem was. There was a problem with the old BBC iPlayer and Mac OSX a couple of times, once was corrected very quickly, the other time it took a bit longer. I did contact the BBC iPlayer techs very early on, 2am ish Red button programmes, iPlayer box sets, web-only content, and BBC podcasts are not searchable. I had done nothing since I last tried, at 1am, and 6am, just before I started the thread. getiplayer can only search for programmes that were scheduled for broadcast on BBC linear services within the previous 30 days, even if some are available for more than 30 days on the iPlayer/Sounds sites. However, just tried the already installed v1.8.2, and it is now showing BBC programmes. and all previous versions I tried would also not load any BBC programmes. I actually updated to v1.8.2 two days ago, which worked fine for two days. The Get iPlayer programmers may come up with a way to seamlessly download BBC iPlayer programmes, as before, but for now the hudl works fine. Of course, downloading means there is no Buffering whilst watching !! I don't know about other Tablets, but if they have HDMI outputs also, this is an alternative way to watch BBC Programmes. ![]() I can download BBC iPlayer programmes onto the hudl, and as the hudl has a HDMI output, then watch the downloaded programmes on any of my TVs, all of which have HDMI inputs. ![]() With ocassional buffering depending on time of day.Ģ) hudl. And since the shows are in iTunes, it is extremely easy to transfer them to. There are a couple of alternatives though.ġ) Using a Now TV Box from Sky, I can watch BBC iPlayer programmes, but to view only, not to download. It is simple and easy to use, and runs on any machine running OS X 10.6 or later. It is true, that I can watch or download BBC programmes to my iMacs, but I prefer to watch TV, on a TV, with associated comforts. With no viewing restrictions, and no buffering.Īt the moment, I do not have a Smart TV, to watch BBC iPlayer programmes. One thing I miss about cancelling my Sky Subscription was the fact that BBC iPlayer, along with other channels, could be downloaded onto the Sky+HD box. ![]() There is a get around, but it is rather complicated, involving individual PID's. The BBC have now changed the BBC iPlayer mode of transmission, so that their programmes are no longer compatible with Get iPlayer. Up until yesterday, my favourite way of watching BBC TV programmes I had not recorded on a PVR was to use an app called Get iPlayer. ![]()
