I'm sure it's the sync playback 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 sync playback option, despite the fact it makes things very smooth on the right source files...
Firstly it works fine on my Revo3700 and secondly you haven't posted a debug log.
