BBC Grinding to a halt

I am having trouble with two apps, BBC iPlayer and Movie HD, the problems are similar in as much they start playing content OK but after a minute or two they slowly start to degrade to the point where they are no longer watchable. The BBC iPlayer goes into a pixilated state and is unwatchable but the sound seems less affected, whilst the Movie app that use AM Player as default has the picture gradually slowing down and stuttering whilst loosing sync with the sound that by then is very distorted. Both apps start OK and it is only the brief passing of time that sets of the issues .. So I am wondering if anyone else has had similar issues or with these apps or others or indeed has an answer to the problem if at all that is possible.
 
Have you checked whether you have the latest version. I upgraded mine with the new box and it works fine.

Or is your internet slow and are you using ethernet or wi fi. I always use ethernet. Hope that is of some help.

I have BBC iPlayer v 4.8.1.1 .. just checked and noticed that I was not allowing access to storage .. so will give it a try and see how I get on .. I think v 4.9 ... is the latest, but being out of the country I cant get google to offer the app .. so I get my updates from Apk Pure ..
 
SOLVED .. Well a big thank you to dak7385, I was prompted to check the app version and whilst checking looked at possible causes .. I noticed permissions and checked and access to phone and storage were unchecked , I only gave permission to access storage and its working on v 4.8.11 .. I side loaded the app as I could not get it on Playstore and may have missed a request to give permissions ..
Thank you.
