I am not in the UK and also my setup/files may be different to the OPs

I put extra logging against the routine calls which use the TTL_EXPIRE
value and none of them were called when playing a HLS stream.  This is
what I epxect as the iPlayer.pm file is concerned with getting the top
level URL of a HLS/m3u8 or flash/RTMP stream from iPlayer media
descriptors.  The actual playing of a stream (i.e. repetitive http
requests to get audio)  is done in the HLS.pm or RTMP.pm files. 

AFAICT the call will have the effect of caching a top level URL which
may be beneficial in some indirect way but I can't see it as being a
proper fix.

As I said before this rebuffering issue is difficult to pin down - the
difficulty is that it is not predictable.
