I'd be interested in their findings but will they really look into a
problem which is not strictly company work related or can it be
portrayed as a technical quirk in their network and this happens to be a
convenient example.  

For support tell them the URLs are time related so the non UK URL http:
//as-dash-ww-live.akamaized.net/pool_6/live/bbc_radio_fourfm/bbc_radio_fourfm.isml/dash/bbc_radio_fourfm-audio=96000-231573427.m4s
relates to
a time 231573427 - this is a sgement numner and each segment is 6.4 secs
long so  231573427 * 6.4 = 1482069932.  The number  1482069932 is the
number of second since 1Jan-1970 (see http://www.epochconverter.com/ )
which converted is "Sun, 18 Dec 2016 14:05:32 GMT"
The 96000 in the URL is the bitrate. This segment is valid for about 2
hrs but you can make up any segment once you know the formula.


You now know how to produce a log from LMS.   If you want a log of
network message from a Chrome Web browser playing a radio stream do the
following (other browser have similar functionality) .

1. From Chrome - Play Radio live - this opens a separate window with
program details.
2. Right click on the playing window - select the menu option  "Inspect"
which should be the last one.
3. A new window entitled "Developers tools ..."  opens with web page
html etc. - click on the "Network" in the menu bar at top of the
window.
4. You should now see request from the playing page to network.  Every 6
secs you see in Left hand pane a amessage like
"http://as-dash-ww-live.akamaized.net/pool_6/live/bbc_radio_fourfm/bbc_radio_fourfm.isml/dash/bbc_radio_fourfm-audio=96000-231573427.m4s";
if you click on this message you'll get deatils on Right hand side.
5. If you do use Chrome and feel confident - please right click one of
the audio HTTP request and select "Copy Request Headers" and paste in a
post to this thread.
