Re: Bbc I player app

Other than iPlayer about 2 days ago taking forever to load I can't report any issues with domestic or other apps out of the norm. 

iPlayer was an issue but now works fine.

 

itvx I have premium so wasn't caught up in the latest issue.

 

4 I have noticed broadcast programs taking 3-4 days before landing in CW rail but they are available on the 4 app so there is a sync issue between Sky & 4.

 

5 app is just generally poor and nearly always has been, it's dire on Apple too and suspect it is 5 rather than Sky. 

Whilst at it Prime is also shocking in so many ways.

Re: Bbc I player app

If you have a smart tv, or an external device, then use the iplayer app on there.

 

Ignore that I've noticed we're on the Glass forum. 😁

Yes nightmare to load across Glass & Pucks just circle of doom. I left the Glass running took about 5 minutes but did eventually load Half Man in UHD and it played fine.

I noticed that going into iplayer and selecting to watch from there rather than a Sky tile was much quicker but not right. Something is up 🤔

Working as slick as normal on Apple TV.

Re: Bbc I player app

We've had this problem with IPlayer + the ad skipping issues mentioned on other threads with ITVX, Channel4 & My5.


I notice this is all the old terrestrial channels, we have no issues with AppleTV+, Disney+, Netflix or PrimeTV. Is this some sort of compatibility issue with old and new technologies clashing?

 

I'd like some sort of definitive answer for all of them, whether related or not.

 

SkyGlass 65" gen1 + 2 x pucks for whole home use & Sky Fibre500 broadband.
