Many thanks for looking into this.   

The other way that I wondered was worth considering was to pass the PID
from the AOD feed in the iPlayer URL.  That can then be used to verify
the availability of the VPID provided by the AOD in the playlist.json
before playing and select the alternative VPID available if it isn't.  
That has a couple of advantages.  1.  It only calls the playlist.json
when trying to play.  2. It is still plays in the format and quality
level chosen.
The PID can be an optional parameter in the URL so the verification only
happens if present, therefore not impacting the Iplayer extras plugin.
