Cannot play downloads from get_iplayer!

As a matter of interest, how do I check if hls is available for a
particular file? I thought --info would show this, but using this
option on "Ordeal by Innocence Episode 1" does not reveal the
availability of the hlshd stream, even though it is there.
Regards,

Paul Thornett
