A few things to consider here :
- For Audio On Demand, for some programmes, they first release it with
the news at the start, then repackage without the news later. They
sometimes include the news in the times, the sometimes don't, but I
have noticed they never change the tracklist when they do the
repackaging
- The plugin uses the same tracklist that you see in the menus, so if
that is wrong, it will be wrong when displaying the track on the
player when the item is playing
- The BBC themselves don't use the tracklist in the way the plugin is
using it in their own apps, they just display a list for Audio on
demand, not replay it out with the audio. So they have no incentive
to get the times accurate, only the order accurate.
- The plugin might be out by a few seconds or so, as it tries to
display it on the controller in synch with what's playing out of the
players buffer, but it might not be spot on.
So, in short, as long as the plugin is displaying the track more or less
as is you see in the tracklist, that's the best I can do (If it's not,
please provide an example). It's not really the BBC's fault either, as
it the tracklist information is being used in a way they don't intend
(sometimes they don't even include the times, just a list)
