Hi All,

Is it just me or does BBC iPlayer seem to have died on iPad?

Best regards

iPhone works for me, send the show link & another mmug'er may look at it on their iPad. They can be slow in posting iPhone/ iPad versions.

Hi,

Hmmm, maybe it is a setting on my iPad. If I click a video I want to watch in iPlayer, instead of playing in the interface it launches Safari.

I will have to do some more tests.

Thank you all for your comments.

I thought it played in Safari anyway? Is there an app for iPlayer & the iPad?

This page may be nice for use on the iPad etc.

It looks as though Listen Live insists on Flash being installed.

Hi,

Yes, as they say in Apple land, "There's an App for that".

Just tried the iPlayer App again tonight and is now working correctly.

Best regards

What is the app?

Searching ITunes store for BBC & iPlayer didn't find one when I looked (at least not anything that looked reputable).

On a related note, the BBC releases figures comparing Android & iOS usage of iPlayer.…
