I'm guessing you don't have ffmpeg installed or the ffmpeg entry in
your get_iplayer config is not set, since the exec of /usr/local/bin
is probably not a good idea and this kind of looks like the conversion
process that ffmpeg would perform to convert from ts to mp4.

It would help more if you provided information about the version and
the OS that you are running it under as well.
