I recently installed kodi matric 19.4 and I was amazed at the quality of this media hub so I proceeded to install Iplayer BBC from the repository and loved how well it worked inside kodi....until it didn't anymore.

I started getting a message "One or more items failed to play. Check the log for more information about message." I knew it wasn't my VPN, since iplayer worked in the chrome browser. I tried all the online solutions like clear cache, clear data, reinstall....etc...etc. None worked I still got the message.

My next stop was to look at the Iplayer settings instead of Kodi or the VPN, and I noticed in the options area of Iplayer there is a section under add-on settings, I found three options "General" "DIsplay" and "Streams". I played around with these settings and then it happened. I turned off the "Play Streams automatically using these settings" option entirely. After doing that, I went into the main menu to select a show and then I was presented with many different streams for the show. I merely clicked on each stream, until I found one that worked and Voila. Problem solved.

I think IPlayer was automatically picking the very first stream in the list of streams for the show and that is why I started receiving the message. I hope this helps anyone else that has been experiencing this problem and this message.

Cheers.
