That problem was fixed a few days ago (see list archive). You had to re-run the installer to get the updated location for LAME download. It shouldn't affect your situation.

get_iplayer --partial-proxy --proxy="http://217.23.230.254:80";
--modes=flashhd,flashvhigh,flashhigh --pid=b014r8bx --verbose

Output: still viewing the error about the rtmpdump version. I can see a
line reading that the proxy is disabled and then restored. Maybe that's
an important detail, I'm not entirely sure.

That's OK. Those messages stem from --partial-proxy, which tells get_iplayer to use the proxy only where necessary.

That's unfortunate a re-install didn't work. For some reason, get_iplayer still can't locate RTMPDump. We haven't seen any other Windows users report this problem, so I can only surmise the cause is unique to your machine. It's a bit of a reach, but below are some other things to check:

1. Verify that the prompt in your get_iplayer window reads:

C:\Program Files\get_iplayer>

C:\Program Files\get_iplayer is default install location. If you installed to another directory, it should match the prompt.

2. In your get_iplayer window run:

echo %PATH%

This lists the directories where your system looks for applications. It may be useful for the next 2 steps.

3. Is it possible there is another copy of rtmpdump.exe on your machine? To check, go to your get_iplayer window and run:

rtmpdump.exe --help

Don't prepend ".\RTMPDump\" this time. If you get a response from RTMPDump, then there is another copy somewhere on your machine that should be deleted. It will be located in one of the directories listed in %PATH%.

4. Is it possible there is a copy of flvstreamer.exe on your machine? To check, go to your get_iplayer window and run:

flvstreamer.exe --help

If you get a response from FLVSreamer, then there is a copy somewhere on your machine that should be deleted. It will be located in one of the directories listed in %PATH%.

5. Verify the Perl version. To check, go to your get_iplayer window and run:

perl.exe -V

(note upper case V)

The last 3 lines of output should be:

  @INC:
    C:/Program Files/get_iplayer/lib
    .

If not, then somehow another version of Perl is operating on your machine. It will be located in one of the directories listed in %PATH%. That seems extremely unlikely, however.
