I was using the BBC apps by using a VPN and changing my language to English UK. After the 5.0 update all BBC apps have disappeared. It seems like Nvidia/BBC updated the iPlayer to 1.1.58 as well. Does anyone know how to get these apps back? Does anyone have the 1.1.58 apk extracted from their device?
PuppetMaster.TV's REKODI repo has BBC + ITV. It has a built in VPN but you can disable in settings and use your own
It's fixed in the 5.1 update.
For what it's worth, I'm having the same problem. Reinstalling the APK fixes it temporarily (1-2 days), that's what I'm doing for now.
Same issue here. It even just disappeared and stopped playing, while I was watching it. Other BBC icons all gone as well!
Turning off location services fixes this issue
