Sourceforge gets a bit unreliable as it seems to throttle downloads.  
The plugin  ZIP file is hosted on sourceforge.
The exact same repository XML file is hosted on both github and
sourceforge and they both point to same ZIP file on sourceforge.

All the repository XML files are download whenever user opens WebUI
Settings/Plugins tab.

If you use the sourceforge repository URL then you may have had download
problem of the XML file when Plugins tab is opened which in turn would
lead to a plugin install problem.
Using the github repository URL avoids one of the download issues and so
makes plugin install usually more likely.

These URLS are identical in function.
http://bpa-code.github.io/bpaplugins/repo-playhls-v2.xm
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/bpaplugins/repo-playhls-v2.xml

Today the sourceforge XML file download doesn't seem to work within a
reasonable timeframe breaking down with SSL failure.

I prefer to host the ZIP file on sourceforge as it keeps statistics on
downloads - however its unreliability may change that.

Any other URL is not valid.
