Beta 5 is no longer available. What's more: The channels you mentioned do work well for me.
Can you please provide some more information? Are these channels missing from the list? Do they simply not play? Do you get an error message?

Thanks, this was exactly the kind of information I needed. This is a bug and it is fixed in rc3.
This one also proves that I am still new to Python.

Hmmm... I really can't find any way of influencing that dialog. As far as I understand it just shows up if it takes some time to load the stream. For me, it sometimes does show up, sometimes it doesn't, it all depends on how long it takes to start streaming.

That's also odd. If I change settings, they take effect immediately. Which version of Kodi are you using?
I can confirm the catchup bitrate is working properly now in rc3. Great.
The "Opening Stream" doesn't show up all the time now. I think you are right about it being a timeout.
I am using Kodi 15.1 on win7 for testing.
If I toggle "Start playback automatically..." in the settings I have to back up a directory before it takes effect.

Thanks for the confirmation.

That again is normal. The setting whether or not to use automatic playback already needs to be set when the directory is created. If you change the setting, you need to create it again by going back up one directory. The reason is quite simple: The add-on needs to choose whether an entry is another directory or a playable item during the creation of the directory list.
Have you looked into how tricky it would be to add a download option?

1280x720p 25fps would be good for my connection and hardware. 50fps is pushing it for me. Lots of buffering slowdowns.

No error message they are just not showing on the list

Sorry to say, but that's not going to happen.

I have added more sources for rc4. The 1280x820 25fps should be the 2400kbps option. Please note that this might not always be available.

Hmmm... Got no idea, what's wrong in that case. I can just stress out again that it works fine here.
In case somebody notices that the Highlights section does not work any longer: The Beeb have changed their website design. rc4 already adapts to that and brings Highlights back.
Let's hope they don't start changing everything else as well.

That is much more stable for me. Thanks.
