The BBC hidef streams are geo locked, so you can't listen to them outside the UK (only with a VPN).
Actually I have one moode in Germany where I listen to the lores BBC streams, this one has not this stopping issue.
The other moode (as written above with other hardware) is located in the UK. When I'm there, I listen usually to the hires BBC streams and this one has this stopping issue.
But I tried also the lores streams when the stopping issue occurred and it also happened with them.
There are errors in the MPD log:
