To expand on most recent BBC "issue".

It looks BBC HLS streams had a small valid change to the m3u8 file
format but only for Listen Again streams.  The BBCiPlayer HLS code broke
because the implementation is only a subset of HLS spec based on what
BBC had used.  

Users typically affected have BBCiPlayer Settings "On Demand Stream
preference" with HLS as first in the list.  Changing the preference to
"DASH > HLS > MP3 > FlashAAC" should make it work and also handle some
v. old BBC programs (via BBCiPlayerExtra) which may be in Flash.

I have a fix to the HLS which will be rolled into a 1.6.1 which has a
number of other small fixes.   I am testing 1.6.1 and there are few more
"bugs" I would like to fix.  As there is a workaround, I see no need to
quickly release it.
