Hi
If you have a version of FFmpeg, either compiled and installed by yourself or a 
static one in a folder somewhere downloaded from 
http://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/
You can tell get_iplayer to use it each time (or set it for good in the 
get_iplayer preferences).
External Program Options:
 --ffmpeg <path>                  Location of ffmpeg or avconv binary. 
Synonyms: --avconv

Example...
get_iplayer --mode=hlsstd --type=radio --verbose --force --ffmpeg 
/home/user/ffmpeg http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b07nn8kd

See from the paste ---> http://pastebin.com/raw/JUY8ZeWg

It has used the static FFmpeg...
