Some Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ media players stoppedΜύworking from October 2020. Your device is affected if you see the message:Μύ
- This player will stop working on your device soonΜύOR
- This player no longer works properly on your device
This change is because your device uses a range of technologies to play video and audio, and one technology is Adobe Flash. Adobe have now closed Flash, so if your device uses Flash, you'll need to make some changes to continue watching or listening with an alternative. This is out of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's control.
What do I need to do to keep watching and listening?
