2 and a half years wasn't a bad run for this script, but from now it's dead for a number of reasons.
1. BBC's iPlayer now serves iPhone streams over https with certificate checking, and as such 'iplayer-dl' by Paul Battley is now in limbo. I don't think it would be too hard to re-factor his script and mine to fetch the streams, but it would also be trivial for the BBC to block on a certificate basis if they were so inclined.
2. I no longer possess an iPhone - I bought mine from the US (1st generation) 6 weeks after launch (jailbroken and unlocked through ALL firmwares) and never had to pay a penny on it since. It was and is a cool phone but the same feature-set can now be had on less restrictive and frankly cheaper phones.
3. I only used this to archive for viewing on the iPhone, once iPlayer served HD streams I've used Phil Lewis's 'get_iplayer' for archival purposes.
So with some regret and a small relief I'm 'laying in the oars' on ipl2iph.
Cheers

That's a shame. Thanks for your work up until now.
If iplayer-dl gets fixed to work around this certificate authentication, I'll take over/update your script if you'll let me.
Feel free to re-factor and prettify as you see fit (applies to all) - cheers
