For web pvr users with fibre connections:

In C:\Program Files\get_iplayer:

1. Rename folder RTMPDump to RTMPDump.orig

2. Create new empty folder named RTMPDump

3. Unzip archive into empty folder

4. You should now have an rtmpdump executable at this path

C:\Program Files\get_iplayer\RTMPDump\rtmpdump.exe

You won't be able to provide much useful feedback from the web pvr due 
to its lack of full logging, but let us know if it's working more 
reliably in general with this version of rtmpdump.
