We discussed some time ago whether this thread should cover DASH, and I thought we agreed that it should not due to the potentially unstable nature of that solution. On occasions I and others have suggested here that users might want to try DASH, but this thread is not about that. I don't know which versions of the iPlayer plugin is appropriate to the non-DASH solution. So could you please help me and others using this non-DASH solution.
