Thanks, I'm pretty sure that the problem is gone now.

The track display for live radio is a separate problem.  I've tried to
be kind to the BBC's API for the live radio track information, as,  in
LMS,  we are polling their API to try and display the right track as it
is playing.   So if their API states that there is no current track
playing, the plugin will not ask again for 3 minutes.  If it does find a
track it will ask again when the current track ends (as we have time
code information in the track info and in the stream).     Live Desert
Island discs is particularly problematic for this set up as there is
lots of talking and short music, so it can miss the tracks all together.
(also the Radio 4 isn't always accurate in the rare occasion it displays
track info).    I will probably try and make it smarter at some point,
but  it works well for most cases, and I want a light touch looking for
tracks on speech stations where mostly there isn't track info.
