Have you tried recording the programme and then playing the file? I don't have many .flv videos to hand, but the few I do have xine plays. I have a digital TV card so I've not needed to use get_iplayer before. I've just installed get_iplayer to see if I can help. I had a quick play with it and for me it seems to be saving the files as a .mov by default. Why's it saving them as .flv for you and .mov for me? Maybe it's because I don't have Mplayer installed?
