    @bbcglasto What's the issue with Paul McCartney's set on iplayer?

  • PatKelly1158 Pat Kelly (@PatKelly1158) reported

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

  • Judith10151917 Judith Hellawell (@Judith10151917) reported

    Been trying to watch Paul McCartney all day on iPlayer without success, says not working at the moment, doing my head in!

  • miller75_whu brian miller (@miller75_whu) reported

    @MessyYid Terrible,turned it over on the iPlayer to see who else was on and there ain’t one decent band playing

  • PaulWirral Paul Wirral🎱 (@PaulWirral) reported

    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 🤒🤒🤒

  • JeffFeathersto8 Jeff Featherstone (@JeffFeathersto8) reported

    @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.

  • ZionistWolf Karl (@ZionistWolf) reported

    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.

  • DawnDiaper 🦋Dawn_Dee🦋 (@DawnDiaper) reported

    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

  • StephAnne21 Steph (@StephAnne21) reported

    @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.)

  • jillpne6 Jill Freeman (@jillpne6) reported

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

  • pompidou2006 Michael Vent (@pompidou2006) reported

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

  • MilkyJoe1974 Ian (@MilkyJoe1974) reported

    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.

  • potatoe_greg Greg (@potatoe_greg) reported

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

  • hare_tasks Hare's got bloody Covid 🐇 (@hare_tasks) reported

    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.]

  • LauraCY1 Laura 💉😷 (@LauraCY1) reported

    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.

  • SteJWi22 Steven W (@SteJWi22) reported

    @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.

  • SophieRyan Sophie Ryan (@SophieRyan) reported

    @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 🇺🇦 What's On The Tapes? (@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.

  • niamhskinner Niamh Skinner 🇺🇦 (@niamhskinner) reported

    Why can’t I find Jamie T on iPlayer someone help??

  • lidiaranns Lids (@lidiaranns) reported from Lancaster, England

    @pixelsonapage Not sure what that is? It’s not her? Do I have to click on something or sign in? Thought it’d be on iplayer to be honest

  • Chrisjs53 Christopher Stone 🇪🇺 (@Chrisjs53) reported

    @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 😤

  • GladonK GladonMetalKing©️ (@GladonK) reported

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

  • ChrisWPhysio Chris Williams (@ChrisWPhysio) reported

    @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

  • littleleanne21 Leanne (@littleleanne21) reported

    iPlayer why isn’t your pyramid stage live not working I wanted to watch Diana Ross very disappointed

  • DawnDiaper 🦋Dawn_Dee🦋 (@DawnDiaper) reported

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

  • Poshaudrey Poshaudrey🧶 (@Poshaudrey) reported

    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 UK-Cyclist🌍🇪🇺🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿in that order 🔸 (@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

  • richardjparfitt richard j. parfitt (@richardjparfitt) reported

    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

  • Chris96856963 BinwahReturns🇬🇧🏴‍☠️ (@Chris96856963) reported

    @smallpersonn @happy_foxxy I'll watch all the bits I'm into on iplayer while I'm at work this week. 🤟

  • UndergroundLuke UndergroundBoy (@UndergroundLuke) reported

    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.
