Hi James, thanks for clarifying on that!
Now that you've mentioned it, I do recollect faintly
that the BBC Store "mediaselector API" URI was
specially protected, dependent on a logged-in user/buyer
cookie or something of the sort, I just couldn't remember
whether the actual stream itself was DRM'd or not
- so I gambled (and lost!) that it was...
I also wrote a (unreleased) Kodi add-on
I realise this is OT, but did you come up
with something similar for the 4K UHD VOD
streams for the "Dynasties" series?

(This is best continued off-list if you did...)
So maybe that provides some hope
that the iPlayer will remain DRM-free.
... Fingers crossed!
Best regards
