There's a perfectly good help command that shows all these things; try:

  get_iplayer --help

for some info, or eg 

  get_iplayer --long-help

for more.  See in particular the config options.  


You can add a preference by eg

  get_iplayer --prefs-add --rtmpdump="rtmpdump.exe"

(which tells GiP what program to use when calling rtmpdump.exe - or more to
the point the path to that program if it's not obvious.)  Once one has
defined at least one stored preference they can be displayed by 

  get_iplayer --prefs-show
