That repros for me.
A few items from that point have the same issue, while some of them work ok!
Thanks for the detailed report. I can confirm this is a bug in the add-on. It can occur for programmes with only one episode. That is something I did not have in mind when applying the last changes.
The fix should be straightforward and I will get to it as soon as I find the time. Worst case this will be on the weekend.
I have come across an issue ;
Going from channel a-z; say cbbc then to danger Mouse (showing 39 episodes) clicking on that it doesn't show anything
Kids told me this when I got home! I've just tried the same with bbc one and have I got news for you and again nothing is listed!
Any suggestions?

This works for me. Which version are you on? If it is 3.0.20/2.5.28 or older, please update to 3.0.21/2.5.29 or soon 3.0.22/2.5.30 and this should be fixed.

I managed to get it done today. Hope I got all cases, updates are on their way. If you still come across broken episodes, please report here. Thanks!
Hello,
I can not seem to be able to stream from iPlayer WWW as it keeps saying I have to be in the UK to view videos, even though the VPN I have selected is in London - UK. You clearly see in the logs that I'm connected to a UK server, but iPlayer WWW continues to give me the error:
"BBC iPlayer TV programmes are available to play in the UK only."
I've tried clearing cache and packages with no success. I'm currently using ExpressVPN with VPN Manager for OpenVPN. Can anyone see what is going wrong from the log? I don't have any issues viewing BBC iPlayer from my Windows machine using ExpressVPN on the bbc.co.uk website, so I'm assuming something is wrong with my configuration.

I have used and tried various VPN systems over the years, when it comes to the BBC they are not at all reliable. They work for a few months then the Beeb rumble them and switch them off.
What has and does work for me is the Smart DNS proxy, this has proven to be very stable, and not expensive.
I thought it could be ExpressVPN too, but it works fine streaming from BBC's iPlayer website on a Windows machine.
I should mention I have the problem when using Libreelec.
As a thought, have you tried it on any other geo restricted site to see if it works.
Thanks for the fix, guys. Everything went back to normal after the update for me. Thanks for all your hard work!
You make a good point. Could you suggest another geo-restricted addon for me to test?

Couple of things here to check out, I used to have OpenElec, from memory there were quite a few VPN providers that you could install direct from the "program" menu. Also if I remember correctly there was a facility to check your IP thr'o the same menu. - this will show if the VPN is in fact working
Lastly if you want to check out another addon, in the Kodi repos you will find " BludhavenGrayson Addons", in that you will find addons for TV Catchup.com - there are all the U.K channels available - but this is geo restricted so a good test for your VPN. Hope it all helps !

I tried tvcatchup.com addon and it doesn’t seem to be geolocked any more.

Looks like I was on 3.0.20 and the kodi repository hadn't updated, but all sorted now.
Again thanks for all you hard work on this really appreciated, especially now winter Olympics has started!
Wondering if it's possible to get the 'aired' and 'episode' info back again? Doesn't seem to matter which method I use to select an episode (categories, a-z, highlights, etc.) the aired and episode info isn't showing up.
Thanks
