This has been fixed upstream in version 2.90. http://www.infradead.org/get_iplayer/html/get_iplayer.html
I have grabbed the new script from here until it can be properly packaged. Extracting and copying this version over the apt installed version in /usr/bin has allowed a functioning get_iplayer again. Regards Harry -- H G Noel @ hgnoel1980.no-ip.org
