To the best of my knowledge though, there was nothing related to get_iplayer or any of its component parts in there anyway.

I'm guessing from your description that you use Windows, but you should 
tell us such things up front.  What OS?  What version of get_iplayer? 
How did you install it?  Where did your version of rtmpdump come from? 
How did you install it?  Where did you install it?  What get_iplayer 
options have you set?  Etc, etc.  You have to give us something to go on.
