Are you on 1.6.9 which was an update about 4 months ago - I think to
deal with some of this issue.

Separately, since March - BBC seems to have reduced the level of detail
in "Now Playing" info on many stations - R3 seems to least affected. Not
sure if this is Covid related or part of long term plan.   The plugins
uses a feed which no longer seems to be used by the BBC Web player and I
am concerned that BBC is moving away from providing "now playing" info
at a track level or at least using an easily accessible feed which
provide this information.

The benchmark of "Now Playing " is what can be seen using BBC Browser
based player - I try to make sure plugin can provide similar level of
information.
