Recently BBC iPlayer has been hiding items I’ve watched. This is so annoying especially when it has decided I have watched a programme and I actually hadn’t seen the end.
I’ve gone through all the options and can’t find how to stop it doing this. It is so stupid and it didn’t used to do this. I’ve tried uninstalling it, said to remove all data, but when I re-install it remembers where I was at.
Also, when I try to watch anything on catchup or ITV I just get errors saying playback failed.
I am seriously thinking of getting an apple TV because nothing on Kodi seems to work!
Some logs might help there (posting on an appropriate thread)
No idea about iPlayer, maybe others can advise

I posted a log when this first happened and no one responded.
Do you have a link? I checked your post history briefly but couldn’t see it.
If you’ve bought a Vero to watch catch up TV, you’ve bought the wrong device…
iPlayer should work OK. The interface is clunky but it does work and you can access streams at the highest quality
What a very strange comment. What on earth made you think I bought the Vero for that?
I forgot about this post but I bought the Vero as a front end to a media server. I’m just disappointed that I get errors on nearly all the add-ons I try but that is due to Kodi rather than the Vero.
Kodi seemed like a great idea but the interface to add-ons is poor. I should be able to select my country and only see add-ons that work in that country. It would also help if they were classified and people could rate them so that you can see the good from the bad.
As it is, the BBC iPlayer is about the only one that works reliably for me. And I hate stupid errors that just say “fle failed to play” without saying why. Errors constantly happen that just tell you to look in the logs instead of telling me why on the screen. That’s annoying.
My only problem with the Vero is that my Harmny remote no longer works with it. That is really unacceptable and I hate the Vero remote. I constantly hit return when I want to hit pause.
But if I were buying now I would buy the Apple TV 4k instead of a Vero given that it is less expensive now than when I purchased the Vero and the price of the Vero has gone up. I;m afraid I can no longer see the point of buying a Vero and that makes me sad as it had so much potential. And personally I don’t like buying Aoole devices as Apple charge way too much for most things.
If someone sorted out the add-ons then I think Kodi would still be the best platform but as it is, it is more like a hobby platform. As a front end to a media server it is still okay but it really hasn’t moved on in the past 5 years.
I thought that as your comment was solely about watching via streaming add-ons which this is not the device for. Yes, the ATV would be better for that.
Harmony works, I use it myself. You maybe need to resync it with the Vero
Which add-ons are you trying to use? As long as they are legitimate add-ons we should be able to help.
Again - I can’t find any logs from you at all…
My Harmony remotes are only infared and the Vero stopped responding well to that after a recent upgrade. I don’t know what happened but I gave up as the response was so bad. The Vero remote works fine except that I keep pressing return when I want to press pause.
I got errors on all add-ons except BBC iPlayer. Catchup wouldn’t play any files and the same for the ITV add-on. I can’t remember which other ones I tried but they all failed with various errors. Some worked on Kodi on my PC but none on the Vero.
Maybe I posted the logs on a different forum. I’ll do it again sometime over the weekend if I get a chance.
I am sure we can help with some logs here
