Topic: BBC radio

Hi Epic. I'm trying to play BBC radio 5 Live - not a programme that is blocked for 'rights reasons' or anything else, and it plays when I use Firefox, etc. I guess Epic is blocking it from being opened properly and I wondered if there is a fix?

URL: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/ then when you press the station, the radio app box opens but never loads (after 30 secs or so, a pre-set 'The sound of silence' comes up).

And it doesn't matter whether the proxy is on or off.

Many thanks

Re: BBC radio

We're not sure why it's not working.  Have you tried via the umbrella button to allow ads/tracking for the bbc?  Did that help?  Did the recent update correct this?

Hi Sai
Thanks for your reply. I've tried via the umbrella but the radio still doesn't load; and the upgrade hasn't helped.
It would be good to hear if you, or anyone else, have any other ideas.
Thanks
