Hi djgarf. I have the BBC iPlayer plugin. But nothing will play on it for me (it says no links available). When I place the green surround over the BBC iPlayer icon I see "http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer". I live in the ROI - is that anything to do with it not allowing me to access any links?
Hi I noticed that yesterday. They were working last week?

BBC iplayer only works in the UK. When I visit my Son in ROI I use a VPN set to the UK and it works fine.
Just checked BBC on IPTV here in UK and getting "no items to display" message. Must be a problem with the IPTV player version as my normal TV link works OK.

Yep, you're correct @Bobbywolly, I've tried this a while back, albeit fleetingly, with no success.
What do you fine is the easiest way to do this?
Cheers.

Hi Sparkrite, I was referring to using BBC iplayer on my tablet in ROI not on a Zgemma, perhaps a little misleading. I use Tunnel Bear VPN which I find very good. I have just tried BBC iplayer on my H2s in the UK in IPTV player and it is not working this morning, has worked fine previously so must be a problem with IPTV as works OK through the my Samsung TV app.

Hi Bobbywolly. No doubt you're right and I need a VPN to use BBC iPlayer in the ROI. Would you happen to know of a good free VPN? And would you know the steps I would need to follow to get BBC iplayer working when I get a VPN? Would they be similar to these steps from djgarf (for adjusting 123movies URL configuration) http://www.techkings.org/threads/123-movies-fix-in-iptv-player.120754/

Hi Justin. I may have mislead you slightly earlier, I was referring to using a VPN on my tablet to play a BBC iplayer app in the ROI not on an H2s. I use the Tunnel Bear VPN which is an Android app costs about £3 a month. I have since tried the BBC iplayer in IPTV player on my H2s in the UK and am getting the same problem as you have reported. Could be an issue with the IPTV player version as it has worked OK previously.

OK I see Bobbywolly. Ah well I can live with without BBC IPlayer, as 123movies and seriesOnLine work very well for me. However I was looking to watch Peter Kay's Car Share - series 1, but its not in either of those two. However it is in Watch Series plugin, but the thing is WatchSeries' picture quality isn't that great compared to that of 123movies or SeriesOnLine. Does anyone know of another plugin in where I could get Peter Kay's Car Share - Series 1, in a good quality image?

Only episodes 4,5,&6 of Car Share series 1 are on BBC iplayer.

The IPTV plugin WatchSeries has all six episodes of Series 1, but the picture quality isn't the best. I was wondering if anyone know of another plugin (not BBC iplayer) which had all six episodes Car Share series 1 in good quality.

Just updated to the latest version of iptv iPlayer and now it's working again whereas yesterday's version still wasn't working. Try again, hopefully it'll work now assuming you're not blocked by your location.
