AFAICT The error messages do not apply to your problem - if decoder is
not suppoorted then streamn would not play at all. So for the decoder
error on device with MAC address " b8:27:eb:21:e7:17" - at a guess this
is a soft player which has been set up wrong possibly missing
libraries.

WRT the "Listen Again" problem.  When BBCiPlayer starts a "listen Again"
stream it preloads buffers and then once enough has been fetched, it
starts playing, it fetches 6 sec chunks as required. BBC servers can
have problems with delays delivering packet as long as 30 sec and
occassionbaly over 3 minutes which means player buffers run out.  It is
possible this is your issue.  To confirm the problem, I suggest
replacing the DASH.pm file in the plugin as per this post

The replaced DASH.pm has a few tweaks to deal with long delays and it
will also generate specific log message when BBC server takes more than
500ms to reply.  If it is a BBC problem then little can be done (without
going to the extreme of preloading whole programs) as it occurs on all
DASH player including BBC own Web browser player. 

If you still have the problem and you do not get message about long
delays - then it needs further investigation.
