    Trying to watch stuff on player is now impossible for me, when i click on a show everything seems fine and the ads play for a minute or two but when they finish, nothing :confused: Click play once more and again it just runs the ads and then stops. Any suggestions?

    Try using www.rte.ie/playerxl instead. If that doesn't work use a browser other than chrome, if you have Internet Explorer installed use that instead of chrome for rte player.

    Exact same problem but PlayerXL fixed it for me, have you tried the XL link in Chrome/IE and Firefox?

    In chrome go to the settings panel which is the right most icon on after the web address bad. It has three little lines as an icon.
    In the list that appears go to "tools", then to "extentions" in the next list. If you have anything there called AdBlock, basically anything with "Ad" as a word try disabling it by clicking the box beside it. Then try again.

    Otherwise trying downloading firefox if you don't have it.
