Agreed this seems like the best approach. Here's a new version to test which implements something like that.  

Thanks again, I like the now and next implementation, it probably wasn't simple, but it is a nice effective feature.
However I have noticed a small fault over the last few days, intermittently I'm getting an error saying I've reached the maximum number of concurrent streams allowed,
this is across all my devices (Vero 4K, fire TV and Windows 10 HTPC) yet I can go to the website or Windows app and play a channel.
I think I've found a workaround by playing one of the non subscription videos after I've stopped a live channel (not 100% sure yet though).
Is it possible something in the addon is not communicating with BT that a stream has been stopped?  

Yes this is something I've been looking into recently. There is another request made by the website when you stop a stream but so far I've not been able to stop the "maximum number of concurrent streams" error by sending this request. I'll probably work it out eventually. I think you get this if you start more than two streams within 30 mins. 

I got this error when I went to put the boxing on last night and I hadn't used BT Sports for two days prior to that.
As I had guests round to watch the fights I just watched it on the website rather than trying to fault find I'm afraid.
