RELEASE NOTES FOR BBCIPLAYER 1.6.4 & BBCIPLAYEREXTRA 2.3.0
BBCiPlayer 1.6.4
- Fix for those programs which do not play - URL in BBC feed doesn't
work so URL for MP3 podcast or a DASH AAC version found. The program may
be longer or shorter than broadcast. 
- Program Images on menus and "Now Playing" can be square or rectangular
via a setting with choice of resolution.  This setting is also used by
BBCiPlayerExtra for images.
- Images added to "Recent Tracks" menu.
- Fix to title and description UTF chars which had display errors.
- Fix for bug in program bookmarking (supplied by mrw) 
- Updates due to BBC change from medialselector 5 to mediaselector 6 

BBCiPlayerExtra 2.3.0
- Updates due to BBC Mediaslector changes from 5 to 6
- DASH 96kbps streams replace Flash/AAC (RTMP) 32kbps streams used for
"old" program. 
- No BBC programs played via RTMP but RTMP still available for non BBC
streams.
- Add images to menus.  Image resolution setting from BBCiPlayer.
- Add BBC Sounds menu for Sounds only programs.


The main reasons for the updates
1. Unplayable programs in the BBC feed - it was annoying and a bit
awkward to find equivalent in Extra
2. Update as a result of BBC changing their internal URLs -
mediaselector 5 to 6
3. BBC removing RTMP (Flash AAC) and so EXtra had to be update to use
DASH.  This only affects Extra "old" (maybe 4yrs) program which were
streamed in 32kbps Flash - now DASH 96kbps (maybe more in UK)
4. BBC providing multiple resolutions for program images.  Some users
disliked standard BBC rectangular program images as most if UI "expect"
square album art.
