The failsafe is station name passed down in OPML params.

I think next "best" data is then put into $song->plugindata "album"
"artist"

There is some special handling for IPK players and 3rd line display -
which I always forget & fail to test as I don't normally use 3 line
displays

However there are other params that can be passed as part of the iplayer
URL and there were code paths to take into account cases where other
users who "borrow" DASH and HLS playback mechanism (I.e hls favorites) 
and are surprised that some data doesn't follow whet they expected.  I
hope these odd cases no longer happen with PlayHLS plugin.

As the plugin has evolved to play catchup with BBC etc. codes was added
but many redundant code path have never been removed and I can't
remember all the corner cases.

When I had time a while ago I did a large rework of some of the sysread
and getMetedataFor code to rationalise and make it simpler only to be
overtaken by a BBC change or some other hiccough and so it never got
into release cycle..
