BBC iPlayer not available

[Rich85]

Anyone having any issues with iPlayer today, or is it just me?

I was watching an episode of The Gold. Now I want to watch the next one and it keeps saying the service is not available?

Do a quick Google, BBC are having issues and iPlayer has fallen over on multiple devices today.

No current ETA for a fix.

@Rich85 Someone else has commented that they were having issues with iPlayer.  I have watched 2 programmes on iPlayer this afternoon with no issues.

Maybe try a reset by turning your Glass / Stream off at the plug socket.  Wait for 30 seconds and turn it back on again.  I have no idea if this will help but it's worth a try.

Oops, spoke too soon.  I have just gone to watch another iPlayer programme and it is saying the service is unavailable.  Obviously issues at iPlayers end.

FYI - I just tried my iPlayer again and it is working again (how long for is another matter).

Same for me this afternoon, I did reboot it and refresh apps to no avail. That said... after an hour it's back up for me.

Well it doesnt seem to want to work today either, i had to let the missus watch call the midwife on my xbox because the app on sky is having issues where it refuses to play any content.
