BBC iPlayer - Showing Website Only

Ive loaded up the BBC iPLayer widget and it is only showing the iPlayer website (and not the native widget) so programs cannot be selected.
I am using a H-Series Samsung Smart TV and used the widget from here.

Is anyone having the same issue that has found a solution?

You need v2.0266 or newer for H series TV's.

@arris69 - any chance you can post BBC iPlayer v2.0266 or above for us H-Series owners?
Scratch my comment above. Thanks to @M11 supplying the H-Series widget version number, I've modified the URL of an earlier version and found it located at

I look forward to loading it up on my H-Series to confirm it works.

It works, i have been using it almost for a year.
You can also try v2.02662 with update date 201406.
The latest version is v2.02672 but i have not been able to find that. Problem is that H series is using new authentication for downloading apps and as far as i know, no one can get the apps that are only available on H series.
I'm wondering what J series will bring... According to developer docs "Tizen-based Samsung TV doesn't support direct install of package file." It seems there is not even a way for developers to test their apps on TV's. I'm hoping that there is someone here who can write something like SamyGO app (i modified it a little and i'm using it to copy apps to TV). Of course i'm not sure if that is possible, according to docs everything is read only.

Hmm. Doesn't seem available (
http://d3mjsomixevyw7.cloudfront.net/fi ... .02662.zip), but with such a small version update number, I'm happy with the version I linked above.
Another thing, I see in the config.xml file, autoUpdate is set to 'y'. Do you know if the app updates if it is side-loaded?

Try this:
It does not autoupdate. It really can't, because it's not available for TV if Your Smart Hub is not set to UK.

Okay. Loaded it onto a USB and it worked. That said, it completed crashed my TV when I first opened it. Not even the power button on the remote would reset it so I have to unplug the TV from the mains - ouch.
Anyways, after a reboot, it loaded fine so I watched Match of the Day last night. Happy chappy.

Hi
I have the same problem on my J series TV, it seems to just show the website which I cannot navigate with my remote. I am using version 2.02407 which I got from arris69's SamsungApp list. Is there a version that solves this on J series?
