Live streams fail to load

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Start iPlayer
2.Play any Live BBC stream
3.Prevously Limelight worked, now only akamai (for some streams) works.  
Inconsistent

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Live stream fails to load, or on occasion xbmc resets

Debug log output (http://pastebin.com/)

Hmmm - on error the log states 'Can't read rtmp header)

What version of the plugin are you using? On what OS?

2.4.17 on Openelec 3.2.2

2.4.18 only returns script error on any live menu choice

Please provide any additional information below.

The live streams seem to work (almost) consistently with akamai stream source 
selected - however, there is no stream available for BBC News.

live streams should now also work for limelight. Sometimes akamai can freeze on 
stream playback. Something related to the CDN and rtmpdump. I'll close this now 
though as not much can be done - but I recommend trying limelight if having 
trouble with akamai as it is supported as of 2.5.x
