INFO: No specified modes (flashhd,flashvhigh,flashhigh,flashstd,flashnormal,iphone,flashlow,n95_wifi,flashaac,flashaachigh,flashaacstd,flashaaclow,flashaudio,realaudio,wma) available for this programme with version 'default' (try using --modes=)

I think that URL used to contain the media references directly. But now
I think we're supposed to look at that 'mediator
identifier=bbc_two_live_rtmp", and then go fetch our actual list of
available media from
http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/4/mtis/stream/bbc_two_live_rtmp

Does someone who actually knows some perl want to try making
get_stream_data() do that, or am I going to have to try?
