BBC Iplayer Not Streaming Live Content

BBC Iplayer is not streaming live channel content (Note - Live from Homepage works but Live content from channel listing does not) and keeps showing error code 02000

This is not a connectivity issue as I can stream live channel content on iphone and laptop.

Who needs to fix this BBC or Roku?

    Hello minty2 kingjp

    We appreciate your input.

    As @ RokuLianna mentioned, we would recommend removing the channel from the Roku home screen by navigating to the channel tile, pressing the * key on your remote and choosing 'Remove channel'. Then restart your device from Settings>System>System restart. Once your player starts up again, add the channel back once more.

    If the issue remains unresolved, I'd recommend reaching out to BBC directly to report the issue and request additional support. Many channels on the Roku platform are developed and maintained by the channel provider directly, and they'll be able to best assist. If other channels are working correctly, and you only experience this issue on the BBC channel (app), that is likely an indication that the issue lies within that particular channel. In these cases, the channel provider will need to investigate the issue in order to help resolve it.

    You can reach BBC's support: https://www.bbc.co.uk/contact/


    Regards,
    Karla

    It doesn't matter if it works on other devices, as they are using different apps written in a different programming language to access the content. Since BBC is responsible for their app/channel on Roku devices, it's something that they will have to address.

      Hi minty2

      Welcome to the Roku Community!

      Does the issue only occur on iPlayer or across other channels installed on your Roku device?

      Have you tried removing the affected channel iPlayer and then re-install again? If not, we suggest starting there. In some cases, removing the affected channel and then re-installing it may help. Restart your device before re-adding the channel back in to ensure the process is successful. We recommend doing this through the Settings menu by navigating to Settings > System > Power (If there is no Power submenu, proceed to the next step.) > System restart.

      For detailed instructions, refer to this Support link for more information: How to resolve a channel playback issue | Official Roku Support.

      Let us know if there's any difference after.


      Warm Regards,
      Lianna

        As I mentioned in my original post, only live streams on iPlayer throw up the error code. All other iPlayer content works correctly as do all other services I have installed (Now TV, Rakutan, Amazaon, Netflix, All4 etc). Live streaming on Now TV, All4, ITVX also working OK. I've not checked other live channels

        I have tried deleting and reinstalling iPlayer but that hasn't fixed it.

         

        Thanks

    I am not sure if this falls under the same issue but my BBC America app stopped working last Friday. I emailed BBC America and got this response:

    "Hi there, We're sorry you're having some trouble with that. ​ The BBC America app and website are not working. Our tech team is working on this and some related issues. However we do not have a timeline for a fix. We're improving and expanding the service as quickly as we can. Please make sure to check our apps for updates, as new features and bug fixes are rolling out frequently. To ensure you are always running the latest version, please delete and re-install the app and/or perform a Hard Refresh of website. In the meantime, please use your cable provider's TV everywhere streaming services (their app, website and set top box) to access content from these networks. Not the AMC app or website. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

    So it seems that BBC America is having problems, not sure but this could extend to the Iplayer.
