Aha... so it's Projectivity is it? I'll try disabling and see if it'll then let me update iPlayer to the latest version (I couldn't find a way with it installed)

Ok, it's not Projectivity. It looks like iPlayer has been removed from the app store on that device, so it can't be updated to the fixed version. Boo.
Workaround!! If you have BBC Sounds installed, keep that, but uninstall iPlayer. Then, open BBC Sounds, and it'll say "can't find iPlayer, please install it" and that gives a direct link to install the latest iPlayer version. No idea why BBC iPlayer isn't showing up in search results on the Play Store though.
I was advised that version 1.4.126 of the iPlayer app is needed. Here you go https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/nvidia-lightspeed-studios/bbc-iplayer-android-tv/bbc-iplayer-android-tv-1-4-126-release/bbc-iplayer-nvidia-shield-tv-variant-android-tv-1-4-126-android-apk-download/download/?key=7ff2fb19f5595c75a871c90173b8c238db91e6ff&forcebaseapk=true
Using this version of iPlayer got it working for me but I'm glad you found another way. Hopefully there are no further issues with it.
