iPlayer stopped working on Bravia KDL-37EX723
Hi all, the iPlayer app (Big Screen Version 4.5.30.59, Framework Version 3.12) has stopped working on my connected TV since it updated about a week ago (16th March).
The app loads as normal when selected and I can see all the usual options and programmes. However, when I select a programme to view, I get a spinning circle for a few moments and then the message "Something went wrong loading this programme", try later etc... Same happens with the new BETA version. The tv is connected directly to the brodband router with an Ethernet cable. The iPlayer is still working okay on all other devices around the house and other video apps on the telly are still working okay (including BBC News).
I've tried factory reset, updating firmware, powering off, refreshing internet content, none of which has helped.
Any thoughts?

Hi there
If there was an issue with iPlayer, this forum would have seen a lot more posts from others. So this issue is isolated to you for some reason. You have done all the troubleshooting bar one. I know its a long shot, but can you try rebooting your router?
If that fails, please respond back and ill escalate this to Sony Support.. Please also include your broardband speed ( http://www.speedtest.net ), ISP and what router you have.
Cheers

apologies for not getting back. As suggest by a previous user my issue was
with me router. I had swapped out the standard Sky cable modem with a
TP-Link one to allow me to do a few funky hacks. Anyhow it's needed a
reboot. Silly of me not to think of it. iPlayer working grand now.
Thanks all.

No sorry i have powered off TV rebooted router,
powered TV on after router reboot but no BBC iplayer,
or BBC sport or BBC news Demand 5 works ok.
The BBC iplayer worked before last update but not now.
Also is there a better browser on this TV the Sony browser
is worse than useless.
The smart part of this TV is not very smart.

Hi jetkeep
Do you have a UK based IP address? https://www.iplocation.net
And double checking if you have set up any VPNs or SmartDNS's on your TV?
Can you please try a factory reset on the TV - as this can clear many issues.

Hi thanks for reply the BBC iplayer works via Cisco router
this has a UK ip there is no special VPN DNS settings on the Bravia
have tried both wifi and cable.
The BBC iplayer works fine on my ipad, imac,airbook,apple tv4,
but not on my Bravia KDL-46W905A.
I have tried tv power off router reboot tv power on opdate internet etc.
One thing i could try is a factory reset have you a link how to do this.
