Thanks.  Some answers:

I have the latest Raspberry Pi OS (as Raspbian is now called).  I only
built the RPi4 a couple of months ago but I have updated everything
today to be sure.  I have the latest version of LMS v7.9.4 and I have
uninstalled and reinstalled iPlayer v1.6.9 again today.

Logitech Media Server Version: 7.9.4 - 1600144323 @ Wed Sep 16 04:15:19

I tried all the main stations not just Radio 3.  I mainly use it for
4/5/6/London.

No difference if selecting from favourites or playing from the app
menu.

Re waiting for 30 seconds - doesn't matter how long you wait, the info
doesn't come up unless you press right then left to go in and out of the
options. This also fixes it if you do it instantly upon playing the
station.  The delay in settings was 15s but it was no different with 0s
or 30s, so I put it back to 15s.

Ignore my comment about jerky scrolling - iPlayer has always done this
anyway on the VFD screens. By jerky I just mean several pixels at a time
rather than smooth like when playing non-iPlayer stations or library
music.  I confused matters by mentioning it in this context, it's not
relevant.  (There are no network issues anyway.  Rpi4 is plugged into
the router at 1Gbps.  SB3 is wireless but in the same room with line of
sight and 89% strength on webui.)

I've been trying to get it working for a few days so it's also not about
being unlucky and trying when the programmes are changing.

I have just installed the latest 7.9.4 on my Windows PC as an
experiment.  Fresh install, all I did was install the repo and then the
iPlayer app, change the two settings to show on air text and bottom
line.  Went in to the Radio menu on the SB3, selected live stations.....
exactly the same problem.  No difference whatsoever.  So my RPi4
installation is innocent.
