 the first time you run it, you need to run once as root to allow it to update its plugins.  However, it may install them in the wrong place -- in ~/.get_iplayer/plugins, when it will subsequently look in /usr/share/get_iplayer/plugins -- so you may need to move them afterwards or symlink.  Then you should be able to run get_iplayer as an ordinary user without it attempting to update.
+======flvstreamer======
+flvstreamer and rtmpdump are alternatives.  This time I've had quicker success with rtmpdump than flvstreamer.  To switch between the two, set the path to the preferred executable in ~/.get_iplayer/options:
+<code>
+flvstreamer /usr/local/bin/rtmpdump
+</code>
+Note that warnings about SWF verification aren't necessarily fatal.
+======Non-descript errors======
+I got very undescriptive errors when I tried to download to non-existent directories.  Note this can also be set in ~/.get_iplayer/options so if you copied that across it might be screwing you.
