Just confirming the stream works in 4k without any updates needed. Sadly I don't see any world cup stream, just a recorded match although it is working...
I also had to select "manual" in the inputstream settings. I then changed the video OSD settings to the 3840x2160 (3/3) stream.
For the first 2 times the screen went black and didn't work, but I could hear Audio. The 3rd time I tried by stopping the stream and reloading, it worked! Similar to the above report.
EDIT: Got it working on stream number 2 using the strm method
Stunning quality!!
I seem to get 404 errors on the streams (tried all 5 via the addon and by creating .strm files for each).
Running Kodi 17.6 on a Vero 4k:

Can anyone help?
created the STRM file with the link, http: //a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/manifesto/audio_video/webcast/dash/uk/full/llnw/uhd_stream_05.mpd, but it does not play
Remember that the BBC have limited the UHD streams to only tens of thousands as a trial.
I'm surprised so many of you have been lucky so far. Nice find CaptainT
test the stream in VLC first, thats I found out the one that works in 4k
The fifth stream is the "demo" pre-recorded loop and is always available it seems. The URL is definitely alive, but for me just not working in Kodi 17.6:
http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/man...eam_05.mpd
I have the inputstream.adaptive add-on and have a correctly formatted .strm file but it still won't display anything in Kodi.
I have successfully viewed this .mpd in VLC so know it should work, but in Kodi whether I use the add-on or the .strm method I always get a 404 error in the log and it never attempts to display any audio/video.
Can anyone shed any light on this?

Yes as stated a few posts back, will only work with v18 Leia.
It is very stable now so worth an upgrade to the nightlies.

The streams are not limited from my experience. Maybe the just limit the round robin on the streams on the iPlayer frontend, but you can directly access them anytime using the previously posted URLs.
Yeah it really struggled during the England game oddly enough, so will likely struggle again on Sunday!
I am unsure if HDR would be a different stream?

These are the HDR streams. The stream uses HLG. If Kodi does not support that it will display it in standard 8bit. HLG is downwards compatible.
First, thanks CaptainT for fixing the categories! One small quibble though - two folders come up when selecting a category - "All" and "A-Z". The "A-Z" folder is always empty and the "All" folder is organized alphabetically anyway. Not sure if it's worth fixing or should be.
Unfortunately, as of yesterday, there's now a new issue. The folders under Channel Highlights - BBC One, etc. - are all empty.

I know about subcategories not working properly. This is on my to-do list.
Thanks for the notification about the Channel Highlights. Will check it out on the weekend.
