Watching Eurosport on Ipad?

I have my VPN set correctly, but the player tells me "You're using a browser with settings that do not support playback of this video." Help! Hoping to watch some of today's Giro stage!

iPads don’t support anything that uses flash player.

Eurosport has an app?

Eurosport web player won't work on Safari on iOS.

Eurosport Player iOS app won't work in the US, even with the VPN. It forces you to turn on location sharing, and when it sees that you're in the USA, it blocks you.

If you have...whatever the developer stuff is that allows you to change stuff in iOS, you may be able to spoof the GPS location. I haven't gotten that far since I don't have a Mac.

Closest I have gotten is to sideload Kodi onto the iOS device, and install the Eurosport Player plugin...in junction with a VPN and a valid Eurosport Player account. Works for a week or two and then has to be reinstalled.

It doesn't work on Firefox either, I think it's only Chrome or Edge (IE)

Ooh, does the web player work on iOS devices using Edge or Chrome? I only tried Safari.

No, it doesn't on Chrome. It also forces you to download the app, which you can't even with VPN turned on. I've heard people who open UK Apple account on the Mac, and then download it. I didn't try it myself.

Yeah, I did that and it worked until last fall, when they started checking the physical location of the device.
