Discover/Watchlist on Apple TV does not open BBC iPlayer

Plex Players

Server Version: 1.25.9.5721
Player Version: Apple TV 8.1

When selecting BBC iPlayer as a source through the Watchlist/Discover on Plex for Apple TV, it says that iPlayer cannot be found on the device and prompts to redirect to the App Store - when in fact iPlayer is installed. All other apps I’ve tested, including Prime Video/Netflix/Apple TV work great.

I presume this is a simple bug that can be fixed with the next update?

Thanks

Duplicate of an issue I posted a few hours earlier (see my post - Discover does not open iPlayer on Apple TV) the issue is more widespread than just iPlayer however - Britbox and UKTV play are also problematic…

I can confirm that Britbox fails to open and AcornTV, as well.

Just updated to the latest version 8.2 on Apple TV and still no fix for this issue.
