If I try to play videos on the BBC iPlayer website (or indeed any videos anywhere at bbc.co.uk) using Firefox running on my Raspberry Pi 4 then I get a momentary message saying that there's a missing codec followed by a message that says that the video is unplayable. Any ideas how this can be solved?

Hello.
What OS are your running?

BBC is very proprietary about location.... I have the same issue on their site.
A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

Isn't there some kind of special program you need installed to whatch BBC videos? Have you installed anything?

No, I haven't installed anything. I can watch the videos OK from a web browser on an any other computer.

I've tried Chromium and it works so it looks like it's a problem with Firefox.

You may need to enable DRM (Digital Rights Management) in FF. The checkbox is under Preferences/General.
