10 play not working? Having trouble playing videos?

If you’re experiencing playback issues on 10 play, it may be because you have an ad-blocker enabled.  Try disabling this and see if that resolves the problem. If not, let us know!

There are some common issues with viewing videos on the 10 play site which may the cause of your problem. 

Keep in mind that the many of our videos are only online for 30 days after they have first been broadcast on 10, 10 Bold and 10 Peach. We think the best way to stay up-to-date with what’s coming and going on 10 play is to add video to your personal playlist or “Track” your favourite shows. That way, when video is going to expire, we’ll send you an email or a push notification (if have the 10 play app) to let you know that it’s your last chance to watch.

It’s also worth noting that we do not have the rights to play the full selection of our shows on IPTV and Xbox, so it's best to use a web browser on your PC, tablet or phone, or download the app to see the full list of our shows.

Issues may be caused by IP address

Due to restrictions within our rights agreement we are required to geo-block our live streaming content. This means that people outside of Australia will not be able to view the stream, and the stream within Australia is dependent on your states broadcast of the content. Our video service relies on your IP address listing a location. Some Internet Service Providers (ISPs) may have not listed the location as part of your IP address.

To see if this could be an issue for you, please:

Determine your IP address and the location associated with that IP address, please visit whatismyip.com

If there is no state listed in the results, we may be unable to serve you video. Resolving this will greatly depend on your own internet configuration. If you have a dynamic IP connection, you may be able to fix this by turning your router off and on again. Alternatively you can contact your internet service provider and mention that you are having trouble viewing videos on our site because the IP address does not have a state listed.
