Make a backup first...

Grab a copy of the latest patched version of the get_iplayer script
from the git repository here:

http://git.infradead.org/get_iplayer.git/blob_plain/HEAD:/get_iplayer

and drop it in to replace get_iplayer.pl

If you need the latest ffmpeg (which fixes a couple of other small
problems), then it's a little more complicated and I'll defer
describing how to do this to someone who actually uses get_iplayer on
windows...  but there are recent builds of ffmpeg here:
  http://hawkeye.arrozcru.org/
pick either the 32 bit of 64 bit static (latest) version depending on
whether your windows is 32bit or 64bit, and replace your existing
ffmpeg.exe with the new one.

Cheers
