Watching BBC Live player with VLC Media Player?

Is there any way to do this?

Alternatively, I have been using a user script to do this, but, as of this week it no longer works. (Code below). Can anyone update it for me, or at least point me in a direction of a forum where someone may be able to?

Code is as follows...

Additional....I use the script as the BBC watch live pages are way too bandwitdth heavy and way too CPU heavy for me.

I just want the live stream and NOTHING else.

Preferably in VLC, but, in Firefox will do...
