For those of you who have not listened to Tom Wrigglesworth, I thought I would point this out. Available on iPlayer and a treat.
Hitting #BBC #iPlayer error 34054 (watchlist) and 34074 (playing some videos) on Amazon FireTV today, seems to be a known issue https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/help/issues/connected-tv/error-code-tv - accessing via different menu options like per-channel listings sometimes works?
Manufacturers who sell TVs in the UK & want the TV to run BBC iPlayer (BBC Public Service live/on-demand TV app) have to get their TVs certified by us. There's a large suite of tests & technical requirements - a colleague just pointed out to me that those docs are public:
https://certification.bbctvapps.co.uk/docs/tv-specification/
TVs on UK sale now & marked with the iPlayer logo must support:
* TLS 1.2+
* Mutual TLS (client certs)
* HTTP/2+
* Service Workers
& lots more...those just caught my eye

For different reasons I use a self hosted VPN located outside UK.
#TheGuardian recently began nagging me to go to the European edition but so far that's all. Presumably due to this change.
I use Brave browser so don't see ads.
Using a self hosted or #Mullvad #VPN is important these days, particularly in UK which is a surveillance state.
BBC #iPlayer also loves to abuse #privacy, recently stopped letting me use it to see what's on (not just blocking from watching content).
New series of #whatwedointheshadows on BBC #iPlayer klaxon.
[21:31] BBC apologises for 'serious flaws' in Gaza documentary
The BBC has apologised for "serious flaws" in the making of programme 'Gaza: How To Survive A Warzone', and added it has no plans to broadcast the documentary again or return it to its iPlayer.

Just finished watching the Show People: License to Thrill series.
A really fascinating insight into the families who own and operate the amusements that travel around Scotland, and their history.
Hope there’s a second series planned.

BBC Scrubs Disgraced Presenter Huw Edwards From ‘Doctor Who’ & Restores Episode To iPlayer

It’s what would have been #BobMarley ‘s 80th birthday in a few days. There a few excellent #podcasts on #BBC #iPlayer but I’ll also be giving some #vinyl of his a spin this week
I'm always surprised that not only does #BBC #iPlayer always have plenty of #railway documentaries, but it always has a reasonable range of documentaries specifically about #IndianRailways. A fascinating and unusually well-documented subject!
There are lots of good films on iPlayer at present.
Started watching this 12-part series from the BBC called ‘Rise of the Nazis’. Interesting stuff. And, in parts, a little concerning about some of the similarities with today's modern-day political landscape in some regions of the world.

If you are not in the UK, you'll need a VPN and a free BBC account to watch on iPlayer. Just remember to press “Yes” when it asks if you have a TV license.
