It looks like the BBC has relocated the flash player file referenced in 
the URL above, but rtmpdump doesn't interpret the 301 response code to 
go the new location.  I was hitting this last night, but it didn't kill 
downloads on radio programmes, just tv.  That's not really a scientific 
conclusion, though. I managed to get past it by replacing this:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/emp/10player.swf?revision=18269_21576

with this:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/emp/revisions/18269_21576_10player.swf?revision=18269_21576

in the get_iplayer script.  Not sure if that's a real solution at this 
point.  I think this may have happened before in days of yore - someone 
here may remember.
