Hi, we use the Iplayer app through our Droidbox using a VPN as we are geo blocked. All has worked well until recently, when the quality of the picture and the amount of buffering has got worse despite our download speed staying the same more or less.
Has the bandwidth changed does anybody know, or have any idea why this is happening? We also cannot use Windscribe VPN with Iplayer, although it works fine with All 4 and ITV hub, so we have to use another for the Iplayer.
I tried using the Iplayer addon in Kodi but that just didn't work at all!
Thanks in advance

One possibility is that your version of iplayer has been updated and is not performing well. One way of proving this is to search for an older version and see if it performs better (the apkmirror website may have older versions).
If this does work better, then br sure to switch play store auto updating off else it will overwrite the old "good" version
I saw a similar issue 2 years ago with iplayer which proved to be bad code and was eventually fixed

Another temporary solution is to see if the web version works ok and create a short cut on your home screen
