Hi For many years I have used get_iplayer very successfully for downloading bbc content (thanks to all who maintain it) but a year ago I got a firestick and thought that I would be able to use that rather than downloading everything with get_iplayer, but I was wrong. ITV hub, Channel4, UKtv and many other players all work fine with live and replay content (with just the occasional error), but not bbc iplayer 75-80% of the time I get the purple worm then it errors, usually with a "something went wrong loading this program", also if playing live tv it has lots of buffering problems, does anyone else experience this sort of unreliability with iplayer.
I am using a proxy server but it is not showing any errors that might be associated with that. I am not really asking for a fix, I was just wondering if it was just me or is bbc iplayer just not very reliable? or at least the firestick version.
