as a side note, I have rtmpdump 2.3.99 installed. When I checked
get_iplayers for preferences, none were found. Thus I assume I have
satisfied all dependencies.
I uploaded your flvstreamer. I did an additional prefs-show to insure
the flvstreamer was linked. Here are the results.
==========================
linux-dn9d:/usr/bin # get_iplayer --prefs-show
Options in '/root/.get_iplayer/options'
flvstreamer = /usr/bin/flvstreamer

I can reinstall the PVR options. That seemed to request more "modes". I
cleared the prefs since that didn't seem to make any difference.
Is there a problem running as root, well other than security?
