@BBCiPlayer What's with the poor quality SD iplayer stream for the Spurs game. Surely you could be showing this in HD?? Shocking quality.

@Bradakunle The changes to iplayer have made it the worst I access. Tonight it is unusable. I watched episode 1 of a series last night, can't remember the name and now can't find it. There is no "continue watching...." and to top it all nothing is playing at all😡

It would seem that somebody pushed a change to production and broke bits of bbc iplayer. I assume they’ll fix when they are back from the pub

@BBCOne @BBCiPlayer is there a glitch with @bbceastenders 2009 on iPlayer? Was watching a November 2009 episode okay earlier and now I can only access the last episode, which is 1st January 2010? I can’t find the ‘Continue Watching’ section anymore either which is annoying!

Hi @bbc, you’ve updated the iPlayer app on Amazon and Freesat. Frankly, it’s isn’t fit for purpose, the search function doesn’t work and keeps showing an error notice. Also any series I’m watching no longer shows on the home screen. I hope it’s fixable 🤨
