I'm currently having difficulty watching any content on BBC iPlayer, ITV player etc, etc and keep getting the message "This content doesn't seem to be working. Try again later"

Using Windows 7 & Firefox. I've cleared the cache and rebooted and have the latest version of Flash installed but still no joy

Any ideas?

I had that once or twice.. cleared itself up within a few hours. Is all other internet content working? Try Channel 4 4oD and Youtube.

Youtube is fine but 4oD won't work.............

Do an internet speed test... if you are getting less than 1mb iplayer and 3od dont work!

Download Speed 13,400 Kbps, Upload 804 Kbps

Interestingly, when I tried to check the speed through BBC's iPlayer, I get a message saying "Sorry, we are unable to carry out the speed test"

Think I may have found the issue. The latest release of Flash player doesn't have 64-bit browser support. BBC iPlayer works fine on 32 bit IE.

Adobe have a preview release of Flash Player "Square" which has 64-bit browser support but until there is a final release version I think I'll just have to watch BBC iPlayer on IE.
