The Extras plugin uses the BBC web pages to find all the available
program on iPlayer - this is unofficial and liable to break at any time.
The quality of the feed is again BBC control - it's possible BBC
doesn't see the point in providing 320kbps stream to be played on an
iPhone (HLS user). The Extra plugin uses the Flash format which has been
"forgotten" about by BBC (Flash wasn't mentioned on many blog entries in
Feb)  - this may be why it still has better quality.
