Whoever codes this app needs to take a look at why "adjust display refresh rate to match video" being on causes XBMC to play the first few seconds of a stream extremely fast, then hang on aq:0% and vq:0%, then if you press stop completely crash the program. Pretty big bug that one.
I'm sure it's the "adjust display refresh rate to match video" option because if I start an iPlayer stream windowed and then fullscreen it, playback is synced, buffer fills up quickly and you can seek/watch the program without issues.
For reference I'm running Windows 7 - Eden or pre-12 betas, problem is still there. Default desktop res is 1920x1080p @ 60Hz and of iPlayer streams kick XBMC from that to 1920x1080p @ 50Hz. Running on Acer Revo R3610 so it's ION based. I can reproduce this bug every single time regardless of any plugin settings, so I'd assume anyone else can too. I'll try on my other Windows 7 machines at some point but I'll bet dollars to doughnuts it's just as easy to crash XBMC via iPlayer in this way.
I can see why this might have been overlooked - a lot of folks don't use the "adjust display refresh rate to match video" option, despite the fact it makes things very smooth on the right source files...
