@LemSip27 @LeeJone50103071 Believe me. Your quality of life will not suffer as a result. But it’s on iplayer if you insist.

Unfortunately some of us had to work lastnight so missed Paul McCartney's set at Glasto. So how lucky are we, the licence fee paying public that we have BBC iplayer..... So we can watch it after a deserved kip.... To find... ITS NOT ******* THERE !!! Sort it ASAP please 🤒🤒🤒

@BBCiPlayer Can you at least explain why there has been a delay in getting Paul McCarney's Glastonbury performance on Iplayer? For a media organisation, the BBC can be surprisingly poor at communicating when it has a problem.

Still no Macca on the #iplayer wtf is going on, if #bbc had put it on when he was live I wouldn't have had an issue.

Oh come on @BBCiPlayer @bbcglasto @BBC6Music when they hell is Paul McCartney going to be on the iPlayer? Beyond a joke now. We weren’t all about to tune in last night! Everything else is on there! If there’s an issue, have the decency to let people know! #Glastonbury

@DivingFan93 Yeah I looked for replays there. Unfortunately, I won't be able to watch most finals live so if they aren't doing replays then I'm just not able to watch. (Btw I checked BBC iPlayer - no coverage and BBC Sport, even with a VPN, doesn't work.)

@ColinGPaterson @BBC Thanks @ColinGPaterson always an honest reply. iPlayer could crash given demand!

@BBCiPlayer on multiple devices nothing streams on iPlayer with error code 02062 showing. Tried all troubleshooting suggestions. Please advise.

Just tweeting this so I’m reminded for next years @bbcglasto not to build my hopes up for decent coverage. So many bands sets not shown and the mess with @PaulMcCartney broadcasting time and missing from iplayer. A proper drop off quality of coverage this year.

@bbc #glastonbury disappointed with the choice and live coverage. Probably the worst yet. No actually channel showing anything, pushing us to crappy iplayer boooo

In lieu of last night's McCartney Glasto set, which isn't on iplayer yet, I'm watching the film #Yesterday which depicts a terrible world where the Beatles have gone and yet somehow there's [that songwriter I can't stand.]

Thank god for BBC iPlayer as we currently have no tv channels due to a #VirginTV outage. At least I can watch the cricket highlights.

@GTP_AJ iPlayer doesn’t have any of that so it can’t done. It issues warnings about content instead. If Glastonbury content has been edited then it may not be down to the bbc anyway.

@virginmedia I’m going to need to you send me a v6/360 box. I have a ****** TiVo box that just doesn’t work with on demand tv like iplayer and Netflix. Why do you not auto replace crap products (that you know have issues with their inbuilt 10Mbps modem) for loyal customers?

(@whatsonthetapes) reported
I do feel for the iPlayer bods somewhat that Paul McCartney's Glastonbury set still isn't up for some reason, as I used to work with the iPlayer and I know what a flap there'll be... but at the same time I would quite like to dip into it so sort it out please guys thank you.

@BBC Why are you showing all #glastonburyfestival2022 artists except #PaulMcCartney, what is the problem, it didn’t go out live and it’s not on iPlayer 😤

I thought I'd check out "Yungblud" on iPlayer as he is described as rock. Fml. Cosplaying pop. #awful

@kopitesaint91 @andrew_m_swift BBC had technical issues for the live show so think it might take a few days to get his set on iPlayer

Looks like Diana Ross' may have been causing problems during the set. She can't hear herself if this happens. Stormzy said this happened to him when he headlined so he had to carry on listening to the drumbeats. (interview on iplayer) #Glastonbury2022 #glastonbury #dianaross

(@UK_Cyclist) reported
@AlanReynolds2 iplayer grabs a lot of content automatically as it is broadcast. I'm guessing they have to do some manual stuff as it wasn't shown live as planned and overran. How there are no rights issues... That wouldn't be a good look

Wondering if the reason why McCartney is not on @bbcglasto iPlayer yet is because they're trying to fix the shitshower that was the TV mix on the lead vocal

I wish I was at Glastonbury for real this year because the BBC iPlayer is not cutting the mustard at all... their coverage is usually quality, but not this year.
