I've put up a new version of BBCiPlayer 1.5.0 for beta testiing. I've
also put up a new version of BBCiPlayer 1.9.4 which should fix the
problem with A-Z and Latest menu for user with Perl 5.22 and higher.

BBCiPlayer 1.5.0 changes
* To fix the rebuffering issue with DASH - HTTP 1.1 persistent
connections needed to be implemented and this is the major change in
BBCiPlayer 1.5.0.  
* Fix to pause of live streams so that pause works even if live stream
has been skipped back to start of program (previously resume from pause
started at beginning of program again).

To implement HTTP1.1. I used a CPAN AnyEvent module which saves a lot of
time and also should support HTTPS if necessary but it bypasses a lot of
common LMS routine and so might have side effects.   
One known effect (and seem to be only on windows)  - a burst of error
message in the log beginning "Error select task failed .." - I think
this only occurs when switching streams. 

I haven't tested all the "features" of BBCiPlayer as the code change was
restricted, I think functionality shoudn't have been broken. 

At this stage I'm most interested in test results from users who have
frequent rebuffering problem especially Windows 10 users.

To update to the 1.5.0 - I've changed the plugin repo so that onlyuser
who really want the update to test will get it.
In LMS Setting/Plugin change the existing bpaplugins repo URL to
*http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/bpaplugins/betarelease-repo.xml*
