Hi I noticed over the weekend that some (but not all) of the the Global Catch Up Streams don't seem to work via the plugin (they report "Problem can't connect to server for : Service Name XYZ...). They play OK via the Global Player android app - so looks like they are streaming from their end

Hi, Not sure this is the correct place to post, the request is can the audio from BBC TV services be made available to play via LMS? I ask in this thread, because the BBC iplayer and BBC sounds use the same login/account, so in my simplistic mind perhaps the TV audio could be made available

If you choose a custom colour from the settings page, this is not reflected in the drop down menu highlights on certain lists (eg try server settings, basic settings, the highlight is the default blue, not the custom colour). Not important, but thought I'd flag it in case it's an easy fix.
