The two popular smart dns' (Getflix & smartdnsproxy)offer 14 day trials, if anyone needs iPlayer in the meantime

Tried two different email addresses but the getflix trial email hasn't arrived one hour later.

Not working on firestick for me. Which server are you using?

Technocentral · 11-10-2020 1:52pm

Buffering like hell on Firestick. Unusable at the moment

Marhay70 · 11-10-2020 2:09pm

I had to reset my firestick recently but the VPN doesn't give me a choice to sign back in only to sign up, contacted Keep Solid through their support channel but still waiting for a reply five days later, even though they promise to reply within an hour. Anybody else had this problem and how was it solved, if it was?

Same here regarding firestick. There is actually an option to sign in but it's hard to see. Top right corner

I had to do the same and then it said my 5 slots were already used up. Got in touch with keepsolid and they were back to me later that day and very fast to sort anything out. I have found their customer support great.

Now iplayer itself won't launch on Firestick just goes to black screen with a little white square of anyone knows what to do?

I was having this problem but on the shield.
Removing updated version of the app and replacing with the factory version did the trick.

Iplayer app I mean not keepsolid

I have two firesticks running, one had the problem you mention so I applied the fix and the other was firing up as normal. Now both fire up and go through all the normal procedures to sign me in but neither will play content.
It seems to be IPlayer only as ITV and MY 5 work fine.

Mine was working last night after resetting and turning off auto-update but BBC do seem to be cracking down.
I will check it again tonight when I get home.
After a few years of never a bother it's getting tougher of late

I have a VPN with smart dns

Is it as simple as reconnecting to your wifi and use the smart dns?

Would this do away with the need for the VPN to be connected for IPTV etc?

el Fenomeno · 20-10-2020 2:57pm

What VPN is recommended to cover 3 devices (Firestick, Android Phone and Windows Computer) where speed and reliability is the main concern, price being a secondary concern only?

In particular the Firestick, used for streaming via catch up apps, Netflix and IPTV.

Just my paranoia but I prefer a vpn (tinfoil hat too!).
Netflix and Hulu work fine with ipv6 off anyway

my smart dns is set up with an irish and uk address and works at device or router level, vpn for iptv is a different thing but best not to go into that on the thread

So go with the smart dns on my mesh router and keep VPN on for other activities

Marhay70 · 20-10-2020 6:54pm

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.

McMurphy · 21-10-2020 11:04am

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

clio_16v · 22-10-2020 5:02pm

Any updated promo codes?

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

Del007 · 23-10-2020 12:20am

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

Is the bbc iplayer issue fixed ?

ThePott · 26-10-2020 12:23pm

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.

whiz · 26-10-2020 1:07pm

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

ThePott · 26-10-2020 1:28pm

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.

ThePott · 26-10-2020 4:09pm

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)

Anyone else having issues with expiry again on keepsolid? Tried the logout and login and it still says expired.
