A few small changes to BBCiPlayer.

Release notes for BBCiPlayer 1.4.5

Changes:
- menu.opml can be updated through Setting from either local file or
remote file using HTTP URL.
- Live DASH stream can be "skipped back" up to 2 hours. 
- Options to use max or min bitrate for DASH Live and On Demand 
- mrw's bug fixes for More Info menu to provide bitrate and format
details.

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 ">". Not sure how to access this
menu on various phone/tablet apps.  

In this menu at the bottom there are two new item: 
"Skipped back min" - this indicates how many minutes current live stream
is behind realtime. No delay is indicated by "Live". 
"Skip back XX mins" is a menu which is selected will skip back "XX"
minutes.  Value of XX is set in BBCiPlayer Settings menu.  Each repeat
press of this menu will accumulate skip back up to 2 hours.

To reset a playing stream back to realtime (i.e. no skip back) press the
rewind button "<<" once .
