Experienced same problem but found this comment on a bug report and it 
worked for me:
<quote>
It seems that ITV have changed their request format a bit. This fixes it 
for me: in Itv.pm, find the line
    <itv:Platform>Web</itv:Platform>
and replace it with
    <itv:Platform>DotCom</itv:Platform>

I'm using WinXP using ActivePerl installer, script and RTMPDump 2.4 
git-6230845 so there isn't a discrete Itv.pm module to be edited as 
everything is rolled into the one script for Windows.

This was on a "clean" machine with no user programs installed that could 
be disrupted by an ActivePerl installation - didn't want to risk 
stability of my working config.
