Fixing the "RTMP ReadPacket failed" error in iPlayer

To fix "RTMP_ReadPacket, failed to read RTMP packet header" error, try typing the following into a terminal:
get_iplayer --prefs-add --rtmp-tv-opts="--swfVfy http://www.bbc.co.uk/emp/releases/iplayer/revisions/617463_618125_4/617463_618125_4_emp.swf"
... and then use as normal.

More info on the cause here.
