Mifi router not liking BBC sounds

Post by Demannu »

I can get TuneIn to work fine, but the Huawei does not like BBC sounds.
I've synched my account, that's all fine, but as soon as I ask for ken bruce, I get a second of sound then nowt.
Just means ATM all podcasts are via the phone/tablet.
Any ideas?

Iirc you're in France? BBC blocks requests that are not from the uk

If you're using a VPN it might be that the exit IP from the VPN has been recognised by the BBC as such and blocked.

Your VPN should let you change the exit IP.

iPlayer needs a VPN but sounds never has.
Even when we tried it in the UK it dropped after a couple of secs.
I think it's a Huawei thing, plenty of q's on the web re sounds issues.
Just means I have to be creative with Bluetooth connections!
