I'll summarise the situation

The BBCiplayer v1.3.* in this thread support HSL only and has not been
updated since posting. Patches have been posted but the BBC have made
changes so I'm not sure the situation of V1.3.*

Your version of LMS is quite old - I only test my version of BBCiPlayer
on LMS 7.8 and 7.9.  What version of BBCiplayer were you running before
?

I created BBCiPlayerV1.4.* to support DASH which is an alternative non
proprietary format to HLS (Apple).  No changes have been made to the HLS
support. 

I am not sure of the status of playing HLS stream on any version as I do
not test or support it.  I suspect there may be issues on some Windows
systems.

V1.4.* DASH has problems when used on Windows system so I created V1.5.*
to overcome these problems. Some non Windows users still use  V1.4.10
but I am not supporting it but users can still install it. 

V.1.5.3 is the latest version in the DASH BBCiPlayer which could be
considered "release".  The plugin support skip back of live DASH stream
(e.g. skip back to start of current program)

BBC are testing streaming Flac over DASH and will be stream the Proms in
Flac (about 400-500kbps) . The BBCiPlayer V.1.5.4.* supports Flac but as
it is test I suspect there may be updates needed when broadcasting
starts in July.  V1.5.4 also supports segment/track info for On-Demand
programs (DASH only).  So V1.5.4.4 can be considered the "beta" of the
BBCiPlayer DASH.

At the beginning of May 2017 BBC killed the feeds for BBCiPlayerExtra
V1.9.* so the ougin stopped working. The BBC created two new feeds to
"replace" the oldf feeds but they are funciuotnally very limited.   I
have managed to cobble together a new but limited version of
BBCiPlayerExtra 2.0 see

To install - Add the required repo to the plugins tab, click Apply and
then as before add BBCiPlayer and BBCiPlayerExtra by checking boxes
etc.

The BBCiPlayer and BBCiPlayerExtra plugins is available from the
following repo URLs ( I need to consolidate)
BBCiPlayer V1.5.2
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/bpaplugins/betarelease-repo.xml
BBCiPlayer V1.5.3
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/bpaplugins/V153testrelease-repo.xml
BBCiPlayer V1.5.4.x
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/bpaplugins/V154testrelease-repo.xml

Please do not install but for the record
BBCiPlayer V1.4.10
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/bpaplugins/repo-short.xml


It would be nice to get users onto one/two versions but for that to
happen I would have to "force" users to update and that may create
flurry of posts from users who updated and then have problems and are
upset. Also I would need to warn that custom menus would be lost  If I
were to force the update then by right I need to have the time to answer
the problems - at the moment I cannot guarantee the time. So the status
quo - messy as it is means the majority of BBCiPlayer users are happy
with their setup even it is not the latest version.
