    Default Samsung Tab S

    I am trying to get BBC iPlayer (through the browser) to run on this tablet (SM-T705Y) running Android 5.0.2. (I have no intention of ever updating from this as I have removed all the Samsung crap and most of the g(cr)apps so the UI is now a joy to use.)

    I have installed Chrome 81.0.4044.138 and still no joy.

    Firefox 68.1.1 does not work either.

    What am I missing - iPlayer works on my other devices?

    If Australia is a democracy why, then, is voting compulsory?

    Are you using a VPN set to the UK to set all this up for the first time?
    Interesting, as you obviously already have valid details, if it works on your other devices

    Do some tests first to see if your VPN has been "Blacklisted"
    Is the GPS on in your Tablet?

    Also try deleting your Cookies, just toss them.

    Is the GPS on in your Tablet? Location is "Off".

    Also try deleting your Cookies, just toss them. Done.
    No change unfortunately.

    It was years ago now but it was done using a thread on XDA Developers. From memory I had to go back to Android 5 hence my original comment. Other details have long since been forgotten.
    Nothing was actually removed - Titanium was involved - I will have to go back and check what was actually "stopped".

    Outline to us what steps you use to watch it on your other devices.
    And then what steps you take to watch on your Tablet

    Just a point form thing. We might find something in that.


    EDIT: Does BBC even allow you to play via a browser on phone or tablet?
    I thought they forced you to use the App (been a while)

    I have used the browser on my Android TV Box, but because of the HDMI connection, it's not seen as a Tablet

    If Australia is a democracy why, then, is voting compulsory?
