Feature Usage: To update menu.opml go into BBCiPlayer Settings. At the bottom there is a text field for an URL. For a local file prefix the file path with "file://" so that a file in /home/sbuser/newmenu.opml becomes file:///home/sbuser/newmenu.opml. Windows paths can be prefixed as well such as file://C:\Users\Joe\Downloads\short-menu.opml or a full UNC path. For a remote file use the HTTP URL. When Settings box is initially opened the value in the text file is where the latest menu.opml can be found in case a "reset " is required. Click the "Load menu layout" button to update the menu.opml. Failure will be shown in text in red at top of Settings. Once updated LMS may have to be restarted for new menu.opml to be used. URLs for example alternative menu.opml's at end of document. After starting a Live DASH stream, the "skip back" features is accessed through the "More Info" menu. On WebGUI click the "M" icon at RHS of top line of playlist. On Touch use "+" button on Top RHS. On Radio use "+" button. On Boom/SB3 use cursor ">".
