This post relates to V1.5.4 which has only one change from 1.5.3 - to
support DASH Flac. It is a rough and ready addition.

The BBC have been testing DASH Flac stream for last few months ( 
http://www.bbc.co.uk/taster/projects/radio-3-concert-sound also
http://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/blog/2017-04-radio-3-high-quality-flac-dash ). 

I have done a mod to BBCiPlayer to play these Flac streams.  This has
been discussed on the "original" bBCiPlayer DASHthread.

Although this test is due to end in 2 weeks - it looks like the BBC may
be using same technology for Proms so it may be helpful for users to
test. see

and http://www.tvbeurope.com/bbc-deliver-proms-flac-level-audio/

-----------------------------------------------
Since time is short - this is V1.5.4 quickly put together. Only change
is for Flac. Not extensively tested.

Change the plugin repo to 
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/bpaplugins/V154testrelease-repo.xml

Install as usual..

Two new menus "Radio 3 Flac" in Live & Live (non-UK). This only plays
DASH-Flac format.

Make sure plugin "Live Stream Preference" is "Dashflac > DASH"
Make sure "Seconds to delay live stream start" is set to 1 min or more.

No skip back ability as BBC only provides last 10 mins of live stream.
