pocketcasts and bbc podcasts no longer playing

Is anyone having problems with Pocketcasts on Sonos S2? I subscribe to a good number of different podcasts which were all working fine, but since this morning all BBC podcasts no longer play. I get the familiar error ‘the connection to the pod casts was lost’

 

I have tried re-authorising the account, also deleting account and setting up again but this has made no difference,

 

The effected podcasts are available and working using Pocketcasts outwith Sonos.

I have the same problem, BBC Sounds podcasts from Pocket Casts will not play on Sonos.

I have had a response back from pocket casts. “I have an inkling of what this might be. In the past, the BBC has placed access restrictions, so I wonder if that's what's happening here.
 
Rest assured, however, that we are already investigating this issue.”


So hopefully it will get resolved.

I happened to check today and I am able to play bbc podcasts again. Not sure the fix if it was Sonos or Pocketcasts.
