get_iplayer: I cannot find .swfinfo


Hello all. I am at my wits' end--I cannot find the file .swfinfo.

Locating %HOMEPATH% by entering into Explorer address box sends me to C:\Users\<Username>\

Locating %APPDATA% by the same method yields C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming; there is no subfolder C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\rtmpdump--my rtmpdump is extracted to C:\Program Files\get_iplayer\rtmpdump-2.2d

In none of the above-referenced locations am I able to find the file .swfinfo

I use rtmpdump every day as part of get_iplayer. Surely, rtmpdump is creating (or referencing) an .swfinfo somewhere on my system, no? The address of the BBC swf player is explicitly defined in the get_iplayer.pl script (currently it works properly only if manually overwritten when BBC updates that address). Despite appearances, I find it unlikely that that get_iplayer is now designed to ignore the ability of rtmpdump to revise that value; I am hoping that if I can find .swfinfo and relocate it to its proper path, get_iplayer would override the static attribute with newer data in .swfinfo--data that is dynamically updated (per swfAge=).

I don't expect everyone in an rtmpdump thread to be an expert in get_iplayer--I am not a programmer, so I need help determining whether this search is even rational. Should I keep looking to correct some accident of installation, or does the absence of .swfinfo in its default location indicate that it has been suppressed by design?

I thank all of you in advance--any knowledgeable response--supportive or otherwise--is welcome.
