Run with --verbose and see if the output includes:

Connecting ...
ERROR: Problem accessing the DNS. (addr: bbcodspdns.fcod.llnwd.net)
DEBUG: Closing connection.


At least from my location, it would seem to be a DNS problem and 
rtmpdump thus can't locate the CDN servers.  iPlayer site is broken as 
well (tested against a few Radio 4 programmes), probably for the same 
reason.  TV programmes seem OK. I would guess this is a temporary 
situation.  I noticed last night that mms streams disappeared, so maybe 
some server shuffling is going on.

BTW: no need for --get with --pid
