The BBC radio feeds for the Internet (browser) access seems to be not working.
The feed is still working on the TuneIn Radio app for the iPhone, Touch and iPad.
I have tried both the iPlayer portal and the direct link to Radio 4 from the Radio 4 website. The direct link is also what I use to access BBC Radio 4 on my Blackberry Playbook (as the Apple app does not work on it). The access from the Playbook is also not currently working.
It is interesting that the feed through TuneIn Radio still works. Hopefully the Beeb are not "playing" around with these feeds.
iPlayer for TV programs still seems to work - so it doesn't look like it is an iPlayer problem - they have had problems in the past when the BBC had made changes for a new version of iOS. As far as I know this is not the case today.
The error that iPlayer is displaying is:
Update - it now seems to be working- Maybe it was a false alarm? The stream now works after re-starting the computer that I first tried it. This computer was freshly switched on, so it wasn't a question of something crashing due to another program.
Still this post serves as a place-holder for other iPlayer on-going issues and the fact that if you are seeing this problem - try re-starting your computer.
