BBC iPlayer Programs Fail to Download

BBC iPlayer Programs Fail to Download
February 19, 2020 12:02PM
Hi,

The BBC.co.uk plugin appears to have stopped working. FreeRapid gets the program name, but then just sits there with 'Getting' in the 'Est. Time', and never progresses further. It started this week, and happens with both radio and TV programmes.

This is a radio programme that failed to download [www.bbc.co.uk], and this is a TV show [www.bbc.co.uk].

At first I thought is was the WiFi I was using. I've now tried on 4 different networks, with the same problem.

Regards,

Simon

I agree. I thought I was alone with this issue (Page 201 of [wordrider.net]), but obviously not.

Hi,

Just tried again and it's worked for the first time in about 10 days. Just downloaded a radio and a TV program successfully.

I'll report again if it stops working.

Regards,

Simon

I'm still getting 'failed to parse manifest' error on all BBC links.
See attachment.

Any ideas?

Haven't changed anything on my PC, or updated anything, it just started downloading again last Thursday!

Hi,

This problem came back again recently. The latest program I tried to download was this [www.bbc.co.uk].

Are there any log files I can send to help with the diagnosis?

Regards,

Simon

Hi,

Over the last few months FRD has failed to download any BBC programs. It gets as far 'Getting' and proceeds no further. Any ideas?

Many thanks,

Simon

Hi,

Is the BBC iPlayer still supported by FreeRapid? I haven't been able to download anything for over a year.

Many thanks,

Simon
