For some reason BBC iPlayer has stopped working on my laptop.
I can get as far as finding a programme but when pressing play nothing happens and yes, I am registered and I have signed in.
Works fine on my television and on my kindle so now I'm wondering if there is some sort of conflict somewhere - although it's been fine up until now. There is no deinstall/reinstall facility that I can see as that usually sorts things out.
Any ideas guys? (Scratches head)

Do you have the correct version installed?
Bear in mind the latest version currently does not allow you to change where downloads are stored.

Checked and installed latest version but still playing silly bees so will give it a rest for a while as it's now driving me
Cheers.

There is no install for the watching on-line version, only for the download and watch later.

Really?
Thanks will check that out and why perhaps I cannot find it in a downloaded file in order to uninstall and reinstall.
Cheers.

Try get_iplayer for downloads - this works for me.
Apparently there is also a Windows version.
You also get a (kind of) PVR with it.

Yep. Been using it for years.

It's cross platform, with versions for Linux, Windows and Mac

.
There's also a fork called Get iPlayer Automator that has a GUI for Mac users who aren't comfortable with CLI

Linux also optionally provides a GUI which is just a web page generated locally that you can look at in a web browser.

Yeah for the 'web pvr', so not really the same as the GUI provided by GIA

iPlayer (streaming) used to use Flash Player but now, by and large, doesn't. Does visiting this page http://www.bbc.co.uk/html5 provide any clues?
