First of all this an observation and not a complaint or request for
assistance. Chapeaux to bpa and phillipe.

I have both squeeze2cast and squeeze2upnp and both of them are having
difficulty when trying to play high bite rate live DASH streams from
bpa's latest BBC iPlayer plugin. Music (FLAC) plays fine on all
devices.

I have changed the max_read_wait parameter on both the castbridge and
upnpbridge xml files to 350 and this improves matter slightly but the
live streams on both devices still stop after a short time.

Changing bpa's plugin selection for live streams to: HLS>DASH> whilst
leaving on demand streams at DASH results in rock solid performance from
both.

I should say that both options work fine when listening on Triode's
local player which is on my LMS server PC but the "virtual" upnp/cast
players are connected through a homeplug network or are very close (1ft)
to a wifi router. 

I'm in the UK and using the high bit rate options of both HLS and DASH.

Is there a fundamental difference in the way the chunks are
assembled/dis-assembled in these two protocols?
