Help!!! Was working perfectly until earlier today, but now my iPhone will not play any BBC iPlayer content. It just comes up with "Error Playing Movie" message everytime. Tried it on several WiFi networks and carried out a Network Reset, but still no joy. I know it's nothing to do with the BBC as my friend has an iPod Touch and putting the devices side-by-side his worked and mine didn't.!! Any Help appreciated.
Got a tip for us?

having problems with iplayer on my mum's ipod touch, clicking on a programme, the QuickTime logo appears, then the picture of the programme, but the wee blue play button doesn't appear. Strangely my iPhone works fine, and that's using same wifi. Tried a trailer from apple site on touch and that worked fine. Have also done a software restore from iTunes. Both devices are aren't jailbroken (if that's a word) and are 1.1.4
Strange use of lang wedge.
You guys sure you are connected succesfully to a wifi network? It dont work with edge yo.

The problem stems from the jailbreaking - I have one broken and another vanilla. The question I would like to ask is what have we all installed? Is it a rogue application? Or is it the BBC spanking us for being bad bunnies?
Can anyone be bothered to do a full reset and see what happens?

I have just tried the BBC iplayer site and watched the apprentice and it works fine for me. I'm using a 1.1.4 iplus 2.0 jailbroken unlocked and activated iPhone
Hope u get it working people

Just figured it out
i was having the smae problem with the error messages. All you have to do is go to settings>general>reset and hit 'reset all settings'
this will wipe all your phone settings e.g ringtones etc but will keep all your media files as they are.
Phone should reboot after the reset and iplayer should work as normal
hope this helps

Ntthing to do with jailbreaking. My 32gb IPT (totally un hacked) is doing the same thing. A brief flash of a QT logo, then just an image - no play button.
Resetting all settings has made no difference.

strange....resetting all setting fixed the problem for my iphone and my sisters. we did also clear all safari history, cookies and cache too....maybe you could try that before resetting. thats all i did and it started to work again, i was having the same problem as you before that.
