BBC iPlayer freezes running under Mojave 10.14.5

I can watch programs on catch up fine but sometimes the screen freezes and a spinning arrow appears. At this point Safari has crashed and the only way to reset it (that I have found) is to restart the MacBook.


Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

Can I find and send a crash log to BBC/Apple to help with a resolution?

MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.14

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. Please post back on whether or not this worked. Also try the Safe Mode. Please post back on whether or not this worked.
