Hi,

> have you tried finding and removing the cache file that rtmpdump uses for the swf verification?

I looked high and low for high but couldn't find a .swinfo file -
Windows Search and Google Desktop failed to pick it up - until aew
dummy pointed out the location as being

 c:/users/myusername/.swfinfo

I deleted it and tried again, but no luck.

The .swfinfo file did return after attempting to use get_iplayer again.

After uninstalling using the accompanying uninstaller, the Virtual
Store files were still there, so I manually deleted them.

I hadn't refused admin rights for Get iPlayer but have been using the
program for a while!

I also installed get_iplayer on a virtual xp machine, clean install,
updated the get_iplayer.pl and get_iplayer.cgi, and the result is
identical to my actual Win7 box, so it looks like a Windows problem
with rtmpdump...

Thanks for your help!
