iplayer problems after latest update inc NO RADIO.

pengipete — Thu, 25 Sep 2014 10:25:29 GMT

I have a BDP-S1100 which received an OTA update today. As far as I can see, the update was to install a new version of BBC iplayer. The new version is unstable - repeatedly reporting a failure to find any content at all. Worse than that, it appears that someone forgot to include RADIO STATIONS in the new interface - I can't find any way to select or search any iplayer RADIO content.

Hoping that I'm missing something obvious cos otherwise this "update" just made my box useless for my needs.

Just found an answer to the missing iplayer radio content and it's down to the BBC. They have "improved" their iplayer radio by making it unavailble on TV's and set-top boxes. That news is buried in this post - http://iplayerhelp.external.bbc.co.uk/tv/connected_TVs_new_iPlayer

Hi there

Unfortunately the BBC is following Microsofts model of improvements. A minimalistic approach by removing features and calling it an improvement. Im glad you found the information that you seek, and thanks for posting it here too. May help others.

Cheers
