The original ClassicFM plugin was tied to BBCiPlayer to Flash support. 
However Flash is being retired and there is a need to break link of
ClassicFM plugin and BBCiPlayer as the the sites are going in different
directions as it looks like BBC have now stopped using Flash for Radio.

I have created a new version of ClassicFM plugin - V2.0 with No screen
scraping and no Flash.  

The menu has 
* live stream at 128k MP3
* live stream at 48kb AAC.
* Listen Again

Listen Again lists all the shows that are currently available. 

ClassicFM seems to use streamed MP4 (48kbit AAC codec) as the default
for Apps. Streamed MP4 supports skipping ahead / back.   However
undocumented ClassicFM seems to also supports MP3 at 128kb and AAC at
48kb but without skipping.  Plugin is set to use MP3 128kb on
installation.

I'm not sure if this plugin is of interest but if it is then perhaps
next version could add
1. Proper support for stream Mp4 with skipping
2."what's playing now " with image for Live streams.


To install the plugin - add this repository link below to the
repositories at the bottom of LMS Settings/Plugins page.  The ClassicFM
v2 line should appear in a new 3rd party repsoitory at the bottom of
Settings/Plugins. Install ClassicFM v2 as per any othe rplugin.
