The reported behaviour has been 
acknowledged as a bug by the code 
maintainer (who has actually read this 
list thread), so as a result issue #270 
was created in the GitHub tracker: 

https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/issues/270

later closed by commit git-782f04a 
in the develop branch: 

https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/commit/782f04a

Use at your own risk (as 2.96dev is unsupported) 
the latest develop snapshot of the main perl script:

 That was because in the previous release, 2.94, 
the default (tv|radio)modes were the flash ones, 
where RTMPdump was used. In 2.95 that was 
changed to hls being the default modes!
