iPlayer cause Humax to crash

[Hummy]

Hi, my Humax has started to crash recently when launching iPlayer. It was working a couple of weeks back, and can't think of any updates that got applied/changes to cause this. Crashdiag output included below. I've tried fix-flash-packages and reinstalling iplfix. Would be grateful for some pointers to resolve the issue. Thanks in advance for your help.

There have been reports of a similar problem with the HDR-2000T which started recently. Humax are aware of the problem.

This is being actively discussed here: https://hummy.tv/forum/threads/iplayer-qtube-recent-issue.10569/. I suspect some aspect of the BBC's front end has changed, and is no longer compatible with Humax's browser implementation.

...the qtube package offers a work-around (qtube provides a GUI front-end for youtube-dl). By finding the desired content on the BBC iPlayer website and copying the URL, then pasting the URL into the qtube GUI, the content will be downloaded in the background and (once complete) can then be played on the HDR-FOX (or HD-FOX) as a local .mp4.

Thanks both for your responses. I’ll keep an eye on developments in the thread provided by @Black Hole
