I have a KDL-40WE663 on a wired 200mb/s broadband connection with little other activity on the network.
I don't use the i-player often but have noticed a relatively quick display of the various programme options, etc. but once I connect to play an item - be it a film or a standard programme - the whole thing pauses, I get the roundel for about 5 seconds before playback resumes for about 20-30 seconds before pauses again - repeat, repeat, repeat. It's driving me up the wall!
I have the v8.631-1000-4.000-002 firmware (latest I think).
The BBC app data shows:
v.34.166.0.0
Device SONY TV-2017-MIDRANGE-2k-FVP
Build time Thur Feb 20 2025 11:04:12 GMT+00:00
Beta mode - tried YES and NO - no difference in playback pauses
Environment LIVE
Screen resolution 1280x720
Layout resolution 1280x720
Tried it with both normal and high quality settings - no change
Channel4, for example, is 100% fine, no pausing, no roundels.
Anyone got any ideas?
