ITV PLayer app on Android stopped working

Postby fyfin » Sun May 20, 2018 10:53 am

I have seen a similar problem mentioned on here before but no-one was able to provide an answer. I have an android box and have All4, BBC iPlayer and ITV hub all installed and they have been working fine. 1 now have a problem with ITV player and I get a message when I try to log in again, having logged out because I had an error message 002. Now I get a message "We're sorry something went wrong - please try again" when I log in.

I then tried re-installing the app, clearing cache etc and same problem, so I tried setting up a new account and discovered that I can't get past the part where you enter your postcode. Basically no matter what postcode you enter it say's "invalid postcode" This is probably why logging in with an existing account doesn't work either, it doesn't recognise the postcode as valid.

I use a VPN, Freedome, which has worked up to know and I have multiple licences and it works fine on an identical android box using the same vpn and same log in. That would seem to suggest it's a setting on the box or the vpn but as far as I can see they're identical. It also works fine on the laptop.

It's driving me (and my wife lol) round the twist.

Has anyone got any ideas? I have sent for another box as well as an older one I had given my friend had died so if I can't sort it I'll use that.

No problem on my laptop or tablet, but cannot sign in to my account on the Samsung TV although it works OK without signing in. Using SmartDNS on my router.

So it's a signing in issue probably as Smartydns works differently to a vpn I think. My wife wants to watch catch up on Innocent so we'll have to do it on the laptop with hdmi cable

Hi,
Slightly off Topic...............

Is anyone having problems with the SmartyDNS version of VPN.. :?:

It appears to try to Login but fails and goes back to Login window when using either of the London Servers.
All my best learning experiences start with a problem I need to solve.

Working OK on tablet and laptop. That said have in the past experienced your problem in the past which has just been temporary.

Brimshan - Just a thought. I can't watch any ITV programmes on any android device without logging in.

Using the App on my TV I get the option to continue without logging. May try resetting the router and a few other resets.

Logged onto my SmartyDns version of VPN on my Android phone, connected to London server OK and accessed ITV hub player OK.
So all working here.

Hi, I've got a problem with ITV hub on both my tablet and my android box, this happened a couple of days ago.
Firstly a message came up saying there was a connection problem with the internet, even though BBC iPlayer and everything else is still ok.. I tried to sign in again but still the same problem, I uninstalled the Hub and installed again, Now when I try to sign in it wont recognise my UK postcode , tried putting other postcodes in and it wont recognise any of them , when I try to skip the postcode and sign in it just tells me " we are sorry something went wrong " can anybody help or has anybody had this same problem ? Thanks

Mike I thought I was reading my own post. Must be a problem with Itv hub. It's exactly what happened to me. Yet it is working on another box
