You need to tell us what version you're running and how you set it up. 
You say you're running in Windows 8, but it appears you have a rather 
old installation of get_iplayer.  Unless you've explicitly configured it 
to do so, get_iplayer on Windows doesn't use flvstreamer, and hasn't for 
a good while.  It uses rtmpdump, flvstreamer's successor. The "Failed to 
get iphone URL" message also suggests you don't have the latest version. 
  The default configuration was changed to avoid useless attempts to 
access iPhone downloads, though you may still have iphone mode in a 
custom configuration (if so, remove it).  I would guess the best thing 
is to get the latest Windows installer and do a full upgrade of all 
components.
