If you're streaming a programme and the first attempted source 
(flashvhigh1 in this case) isn't found, get_iplayer will abort.  That is 
by design.  When get_iplayer streams a programme, it basically just 
hands off to rtmpdump.  If rtmpdump fails when streaming, get_iplayer 
can't easily determine the cause, thus any failure is considered fatal.

Unfortunately, I think you're just a temporary victim of sort order. 
Until things are repaired at the BBC end, all I can suggest is what 
you're already doing: ensure that flashvhigh2 is at the front of your 
modes list when streaming.
