Regarding the lack of live channels - I had a look at the code for the other iPlayer plugin which now has Live working. It turns out there is an m3u8 playlist available with the HDS video segments.
e.g. for BBC News the akamai f4m manifest is at http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/man...ews_ch.f4m
Then just change the extension for the appropriate bitrate media url from f4m to m3u8. I tested these urls successfully with ffplay. There are tons of Invalid timestamps messages which will spam the debug log though.
