Apologies if you already have done this but...  have you tried finding
and removing the cache file that rtmpdump uses for the swf
verification? The file (at least in the Linux world and probably same
in Windows world) is called '.swfinfo'. Search for it and remove any
instance you find. The problem we found last month was that since the
BBC now insists on an updated SWF url and the cached size/hash stored
in this .swfinfo file is not updated. Problem is that rtmpdump seems
to ignore anything in the URL that is a GET parameter (i.e. the
all-important revision in this case). Also, upgrading rtmpdump alone
will not help.

Also I noticed that you found get_iplayer files in your VirtualStore
folders. This will be solved by uninstalling and reinstalling using
the latest installer. The installer should find these old VirtualStore
files and remove them. To be absolutely sure you might want to
uninstall, find the VirtualStore get_iplayer folder and remove and
get_player folder in the VirtualStore folders then re-install. This
VirtualStore version will just hound you otherwise!

The VirtualStore files will have probably got there from an earlier
installer version where this wasn't handles correctly or if you
insisted on not giving administrator rights to the installer when it
asked for it with windows UAC.
