Ok MPC-HC is playing back fine
Recording though is intermittent though it looses the stream 1-2mins in and sometimes repeats the same section in the recording, I guess it has do with it timing out and reloading the playlist instead of just adding / playing the next segment.
Also without adding the following I kept getting 403 client forbidden errors.
Code:
