Display More1) I don't think it is the VPN in this case. I'm not using one and the Live channels don't work for me either.
2) When did they last work for you?
3) I think the the BBC have changed things at their end.
4) I can't suggest much for the other issues - when I install a new plugin it prompts to install missing dependencies. I did find an old forum post on another site talking about a similar issue and the solution was to completely uninstall and reinstall.
1) Good to know, thanx! My version seems to behave the same way...
2) 14th April, as you can see the details here: BBC iplayer and ITV player
3) PurE2 image has the E2iPlayer dependencies package in the feeds, plus the E2iP itself, made from a cloned E2iP GIT, so generally speaking it works. But not for all the issues...
3a) Truth is, today some images have ffmpeg package built in. For instance, PurE2 now has 4.1.3 version for most of its images, except HiSilicon ones, which is on v. 3.4.2, which complicates things, for various reasons, as E2iPlayer, Kodi, ServiceApp, FNC plugins etc. might either bring in their own ffmpeg packages or rely on the ones present in E2 or brought in by other plugins, like ServiceApp.
3b) E2iPlayer used to put them in a special folder, so it didn't interfere with the built-in ones, which I don't see nowadays, sadly... Please, have a look here:
So, while it was still IPTV Player, SSS used "iptvplayer_rootfs" folder for his version of ffmpeg (not in /usr/bin - don't look there) but on the left side up, under root, immediately...
4) For some reason, E2iPlayer (made as described above) - from PurE2 feeds - detects all the missing files during the initial setup, after installation - and installs them all, except the 2 noted ones, where it gets in a loop... Reinstallation does not help, so I am thinking some missing file in PurE2, maybe... But I suspect that those 2 missing files wouldn't really make any difference in terms discussed here anyway (BBC iPlayer addon playing Live channels)...
So, see if this helps and do tell, please... ;)
