ERROR: RTMP_Connect1, handshake failed. ???

Can anyone help me with analysing the following Verbose log of an attempt to
use get_player? 

I've just installed the latest version of the get_iplayer package (V2.86)
for Windows and am running Windows V8.1
The install looked OK except for failing to install AtomicParsley, but I
don't think this is essential for a basic download.

I get an error:    ERROR: RTMP_Connect1, handshake failed.
Download aborts

Here's the run log (Verbose mode):
Thanks
David
