iPlayer on Smart TV & Humax Freesat PVR
brush-head
04-04-2016
I have a 2.5 year old Panasonic Viera TX-L32E6B. One of the apps is iPlayer, It has been running fine except for the past month. This is a Freeview TV but basically I use it as a monitor for the Humax Freesat box. This box too has iPlayer & again it has been running fine except for the past month.
The issue I experience is when I select a programme to play I often get the error message 02100 "Something went wrong playing this programme". If I keep retrying I will eventually get it to work.
The TV connects to the router via WiFi incredibly good signal 'cos it's in the same room approx just over a metre away using 2.4Ghz. Using the 5Ghz connection doesn't make any difference.
The Humax connects through a TP-Link Homeplug running at around 200Mbits (no WiFi on that model) & the same sort of thing happens. The Humax does have other issues at the moment to do with non recording & "lost" recordings.
In both instances I can run Netflix application without any issues.
I have an ADSL service & my ISP is Plusnet. I get around 19+Mbps out of peak & 18+Mbps during peak (I'm about 4-500 metres from the exchange).
My router is a D-Link DSL3580 AC1200 Gigabit router which does not seem to have any issues (it runs very cool suggesting that it's components are well within their tolerances). I usually leave it running & only reboot when necessary.
iPlayer runs fine on my Android platforms & on Win10. Accessing iPlayer via browser (Chrome) on Linux is also trouble free.
Anyone out there have any ideas? I've tried various avenues (except the BBC site which I find next to useless & their support service is slow & doesn't come up with anything meaningful).
TIA

Have discovered that both Panasonic & Humax are running the same version 4.5.30.59 Mar 16th 2016, Same framework version.
Both have no problem showing live transmissions, it's only streaming from stored programmes that seems to be the issue.
