BBC was using mpd dash and ITV was using HLS by the looks of the log.

hmmm thats and interesting about bbc not being akamai.

Here is a screen capture on way I am selecting and then saving what I believe to be specific stream type to be played in TV Fullscreen settings.
(ref recent fix to allow me to do perform this task in krypton & Leia versions of kodi)



Perhaps I need to modify/refresh my underlying selected user options in iplayer www and/or TV Fullscreen settings with recent improvements in both addons?

Something is not right but if you look in your log file for "bbc" you will find all the urls have dash and mpd in them.
