BBC iPlayer Error

[thenaylor]

i forgot to mention that mine is not unlocked. Maybe the problem is different if you have unlocked it.

Yay finnaly found a cause and fix

I got my replacement iPhone today, first I activated + jailbroke using ZiPhone and iPlayer worked perfectly but got no signal with my o2 sim, so unlocked using iLiberty (kept the 4.6 BL) and got signal but then the iPlayer stopped working as before. Found a fix on HUKD that sorted it which is as follows:

Clear cookies/cache and reset network settings

Connect to a WiFi or Edge network

Go to installer from the home screen.

Go to 'sources' on the bottom right.

Press 'edit' on the top right, press 'add' on the top left.

Then it'll pop up with a box for adding a weblink, add

http://appledailytimes.com/installer

click ok and it'll refresh the resources. (all this has to be done with internet on)

Go to the Apple Daily Times section in 'Install' and the safari patch for the 1.1.4 cookie issue will be in there.

Restart iPhone

Go back into safari and iPlayer should now work (at least it did for me)

If all is good you can go back into installer and uninstall the cookie patch

iplayer no blue play icon

Been trying to watch some programmes this afternoon, all goes as normal until the play screen appears minus the small blue play circle. Tapping on the image does nothing. Is anybody else seeing this behaviour, I did notice earlier that the iphone pink beta triangle was absent from the home page, this has recently appeared.

Same problem here.

Quicktime logo appears briefly, no play button.

Using a genuine never unlocked or Jailbroken O2 iPhone

Same thing here, I have found sometimes you just have to wait a few mnutes for the play logo to appear, or tapping the home button and re-opening safari sometimes fixes it. Looks like its a problem at BBCs end though, defintely nothing to do with unlocking/jailbreaking etc.

This worked for me, I was begining to think that my iphone would never work with iplayer,but now it does, and i dont have to login to facebook every page i open, also ebay etc.

Thanks

I got it to work!

I found that as long as you do the instructions in one of the posts above and install the Cookie Fix in Installer then BBC iPlayer works as normal! I'm sooo happy! 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

That worked perfectly! Thank you so much, I was worried it was something that I had done which stopped it working...but apparently not 😀
