I'm having similar problems but with TV. Radio is fine.

Running in the UK. Windows XP, GiP 2.97

Any TV programme that I try to record locks solid, no error message.

On another PC running Windows 10 but using GiP 2.94, it records fine.

This is my options file:

modes best
fileprefix <name> - <episode> - <firstbcastdate>
subtitles 1
output v:\BBC iPlayer Recordings
whitespace 1

This has started over the last two or three days.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Don
