I guess that rules out network or server problems.  One thought:  Check 
the version number of package "librtmp0" and ensure it matches the 
version number of package "rtmpdump".  An Ubuntu user recently reported 
troubles that were caused by a version mismatch, albeit with different 
symptoms. I don't have a copy of Mint to check, but I wonder if your 
Mint install may have pulled the older librtmp0 package from Ubuntu 
repositories as a dependency for another package.   If so, it would not 
have been automatically upgraded during installation of get_iplayer from 
the PPA.  If that is what happened, you would likely have noticed 
problems as soon as you installed the PPA version of get_iplayer.  If 
so, then just upgrade the librtmp0 package to the PPA version.  If not, 
then ignore this.
