LG 'Smart' TV BBC I Player not working

Hi all.

About a year ago I bough the LG TV 50PH670V Smart TV.

About a month ago, BBC I Player stopped working. Other apps are fine.

Can anyone advise on what can be done to get this, the most important app, back?

Thanks.

I have iplayer on a number of platforms which include ipad, Android phone, wdtv smart box 2 LG blu ray player from different generation and a LG smart TV and it doesn't work on any of them very well, is it still flash based? I either have loading issues which take several attempts to get going or it stops mid way...

That's the problem with these devices you're lucky if there is a firmware update available. The beeb changes its protocols and the device no longer works. I have a Freesat box that stopped working at some point with iPlayer. My PS3 still works but it's had a number of updates over the years but its software based rather than hardware.
