    IPlayer came back to full screen for me today but it's buffering constantly, unwatchable. I have good broadband speed so it's not that.

    Why do the BBC put so much effort into restricting the iPlayer and enforcing the Geo lock does anyone know?

    It's not like we in Ireland don't get their TV channels? Maybe they should look at introducing a version of the iPlayer to coincide with their sky/,virgin packages that we pay for here.

    Maybe even offer a sub only available version, so if your paying sky legit you get access? I dunno if that's possible even.

    I'd imagine it's for legal reasons. Probably something to do with not having a broadcasting licence here.

    And because they sell their content to English-language TV stations all over the world. If iplayer was freely and easily available all over the world then BBC wouldn't earn as much revenue from their content

    Isn't there some sort of EU law stating that it should be viewable all over the EU?

    I don't think so. Unless it's a recent change you needed a vpn to watch RTE player outside the island of Ireland

    If you reside in the jurisdiction it should be available outside it

    I think it only applies if you pay for a service. Bbc and rte are free

    I'm watching something on iPlayer right now through Firestick.
    I will say at times I find it works better using the non-streaming servers.

    Is the specific BBC iPlayer server working or do you have to select another server in the UK ?

    It was working for me earlier, the other UK ones were working as well.
    There has been a few times where it has stopped to buffer but aside from that been fine.

    I find sometimes with iPlayer that even if it says "Something is Wrong" if you just try again without changing server it even works.

    I find that if I've accidentally tried to watch something on a non uk server or my own IP and I get that error, that I will continue to get that error for that specific episode I try to watch, but anything else is ok. After a while it will fix itself out but typically never works immediately after an attempt that brings up that message.

    It worked for me this morning when I immediately tried it again but I agree, it's wildly inconsistent.

    Hi I have keepsolid VPN trying to use it on iPad 5 to access Netflix but keeps showing the Irish one, is there something I'm doing wrong? Instructions on their site are fairly straightforward

    I had problems accessing other Netflix but turning off ipv6 sorted it.
    I don't know much about ipads but I think they don't allow this on the device so you might have to apply it to the router (how to go about this I think will depend on the router you have)

    Hi,

    I see a few posts over the past few weeks saying this is not stable on a Firestick and buffering?

    Would I be better off so avoiding this as it's main purpose would be to use it on a Firestick.

    Thanks!

    Never experienced buffering on firestick with it. And using very frequently throughout last 11 months, mostly for iplayer, netflix, disney+ and hulu.

    No issues whatsoever with keepsolid on my 4k firestick, streaming quality with the VPN on the stick is excellent, if there's any buffering it's always down to the app I'm streaming on
