BBC iPlayer and the instances have been to numerous to remember. The point is that whenever this happens I access Chromecast immediately and can resume the programme from the same point and it will continue to play without issue.
TBH I should learn and simply use Chromecast as the player of choice.
Due to this issue I ended up buying a second Chromecast for the other TV. We dont have any issues with any of the other players e.g. ITV hub, Netflix or Youtube etc.
Don't know if any of you have checked recently but iPlayer appears to be back up and running
The BBC recently updated their iplayer and it caused a compatibility problem with all Humax devices. The app would load, but playback would fail. Source:

Our FVP-5000T 2TB was affected, but not our older LG 'smart' TV.
Humax say they have put a temporary patch in place and are working on a permanent fix. Source:

I haven't tried it, yet.
Let us hope that the temporary patch becomes a fix that works because on my HDR-1000S "Demand" does not load at all!
Tested the network and it is fine.
