Again, based on your original report, get_iplayer is not involved.  Did 
you reinstall librtmp0 as well, and did you check that the versions of 
rtmpdump and librtmp0 match?  If you remove librtmp0, dependent packages 
like ffmpeg, mplayer and vlc will also be removed.  Just make note of 
what you have to reinstall.  If you don't want to do that, you can try a 
forced install of librtmp0 in the hope that it might repair things. 
Make note of the librtmp.so.0 (see below) file size/date before and 
after the install to see if it changed.

librtmp.so.0 is provided by the librtmp0 package, and it should be the 
same for 64-bit openSUSE. If "zypper what-provides librtmp.so.0" doesn't 
show that, then something is wrong with your package database. The 
library itself should be found at /usr/lib/librtmp.so.0.  If that file 
were missing, you would see a "cannot open shared object file" rather 
than a segfault, which is why I suspected a version mismatch rather than 
a missing library.
