You have a couple of problems:

1. The Beeb broke live tv in get_iplayer after 2.82 was released. 
You'll need to update from the Git repo.  Read this:

2. Your player command is incorrect. "-cache" isn't an VLC parameter, 
and the whole command should be quoted so VLC knows where to get its 
input.  Try --player="vlc -".
