That resembles the old values.  The URLs used to be in the form:

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

but then we had to change the value embedded in get_iplayer because 
those URLs generated redirects, which rtmpdump doesn't follow.  Now it 
appears that this URL *without* the query string (as in the options list 
above) no longer generates a redirect, so it works OK for downloading, 
at least for Charlie's programme.  However, it's all a bit academic. 
Since the swf verification URL is embedded in get_iplayer, there is no 
need to put --svfVfy in  --rtmptvopts unless you should need to override 
the embedded value.
