With regard to BBCiPlayer plugin.  It has no dependent helper
application and works on all LMS systems regardless of OS.  BBC uses AAC
so standard LMS AAC transcoding is required for any player which does
not support native AAC.

There are 2 version of PlayHLS plugin.  
PlayHLS V2.* has no has no dependent helper applications and works on
all LMS systems regardless of OS. HLS streams use either AAC or MP3 
codec and so LMS transcoding will be used to play the streams.
PlayHLS V1.* uses ffmpeg  and so has to be installed. Some users have
repurposed PlayHLS V1.* to play non HLS streams by taking advantage of
ffmpeg capabilities. 


The internet streams/services that are played with BBCiPlayer and
PlayHLS often require https support.  LMS needs to be at least version
7.9.2 for https support and also LMS uses underlying OS support for
https with IO::Socket::SSL and this should be at least V2.* (V2.066 is
current) - otherwise some streams/services may fail to play.
