I had a similar problem a few months ago…
https://myhumax.org/forum/topic/bbc-i-player-no-longer-works
However, a few nights ago I was catching up on BBC4 OD pgms and had no problem at all. I reckon some kind of intermittent server problem.
I too noticed an issue with iPlayer the other night. It started to load the programme then returned to live TV. I now have BBC iPlayer that no longer works on my 4 year old Panasonic TV and it’s becoming problematic on our 1000s. Internet connection is via Homeplugs which are delivering an excellent connection speed.
TBH I tend to rely on Chromecast for 95% of our streaming needs – thank goodness that is always reliable and receives regular updates. A very worthwhile investment – in my case ‘Free’.
Mine is broken too. Fast internet connected by CAT5. After 10 mins or so, iPlayer stops with the twirling graphic. Won’t carry on until you press stop, wait, and then start again.
Just using one of many other devices as the Humax iPlayer is definitely bust.
Have also been having iPlayer hang (spinning disc) issues for a few weeks and it can happen several times in one program. Watching ‘Have I Got News for You’ yesterday morning it stopped three times which is very annoying in a 30 minute show. The way we fix it is to press play again which usually gets it going again.
We have a HDR1000S CAT5 connected to a Gigabit switch internet provided by PlusNet via BT Infinity (BT Wholesale Test Speeds: Download 59Mbps, Upload 14Mbps and Latency 20ms)
A wired PC via a browser and wireless iPad with the iPlayer app work without any problem.
Its almost as if the iPlayer application on the Humax is not buffering the content correctly.
Lets hope there is a fix soon.
