The BBCiPlayer update only changed the URLs which are used to fetch BBC
data - no substantive change to code - so problem probably lies in AAC
and transcoding.
PlayHLS is not needed not used by BBCiPlayer. PlayHLS is used to play
m3u8 stream - it will notplay BBC HLS streams unless you save a BBC HLS
URLS as a favorite.
Check that LMS Bin faad and flac actually run on your system ? do you
run a 32 bit or 64 bit kernel ?
As an independent test of AAC - try playing the AAC stream
