2) AkamaiBasicStreamingPlugin refactored. This includes improved support for all types of streams while the plugin is loaded, added support for plugin metadata that can override built in defaults for a) live stream time out; b) whether or not the plugin should try to reconnect to a live stream if both primary and secondary encoders fail; c) the interval at which the retry should occur. Added support for resource metadata for specifying connect-level and stream-level auth tokens so that these tokens do not need to be part of the URL (although this is acceptable also).
3) AkamaiPluginSample app updated to support auth tokens which are not part of the URL (these are passed to the Akamai plugin via resource metadata).
