Hello Bryan and thanks for your swift response to my query. Your reference to BBCiPlayer menu "normally" choosing Akamai - is this just for "live" streaming or all streaming (ie including listen again) ? My existing live streaming, presumably using Akamai, work fine over my GB VPN whereas listen again frequently does not, which suggests that either Akamai are discriminating between live and listen again feeds or that listen again is served from an alternative CDN. I was actually unaware of the "Listen Live alt CDN" option. Interestingly my "live" feeds fail when using my GB VPN and the alt CDN option (presumably Limelight), I am probably being over simplistic and failing to appreciate the complexities of the situation/code, but is there a comparable "switch" available for listen again programs ? I would also be interested to learn (only at a high level - I'm not a geek!) as to how your algorithms differ between "Listen Live" and "Listen Live - alt CDN" ie how you determine the appropriate connection/destination.
