So BBC iplayer have always taken down individual servers making it hard to use Nord reliably at the best of times, but this year it stopped working completely on Firestick devices. This reply from Nord confirms there is a known issue.
Has anyone found a workaround in the meantime? Switching servers and clearing cache doesn’t work.
Do they have an iPlayer app for Firestick now? Last time I checked (a good while ago) it didn’t exist.
How did you get to the live chat??? I can’t find it anywhere
Have you figured anything out? For awhile switching to servers in non-London cities was working but not anymore.
Hi all, something that helped me with this was to set the Firestick time zone to Greenwich Mean Time. I was having similar issues with trying to watch Channel 4 content, and this largely resolved the issue (though sometimes it does still occur).
Doesn’t work for me any more since around a month ago and none of the old techniques get it back 
Is there any fix for this? I find I have to restart about 5 times and then will work if I’m
Lucky.
Yes for a while now. It’s always been temperamental with BBC blocking the Nord servers, but now it is straight up broken.
Picking the newest servers seems to help (highest number, usually non - London).
I can get it to work 80% of the time on the standalone firestick plugged in to HDMI on my TV. If i try to use the built in FireTV system on my TCL TV it never works.
