GiP v2.86, WinXP Pro32 SP3, 4 logical processors. I'm curious:
Installation of a previous version put "mmsnothread 1" in GiP's system options file <C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\get_iplayer\options>. It has survived updates/reinstallations to present. What does it do; and why might I need it? Removing it seems to have no effect. (Using "--prefs-add --mmsnothread" puts the line into GiP's user options file <C:\Documents and Settings\Howard\.get_iplayer\options>, so that's where it remains.) I haven't been able to find any documentation for this option beyond the one line description "Disable parallel threaded recording for mms" in the in-line help listing. A secondary question: is there any reason, other than historical, or it-seemed-like-a-good-idea-at-the-time, why there are separate system and user options files in a WinXP installation of GiP? -- Regards, Howard. howard.or...@orgels.demon.co.uk http://www.orgels.demon.co.uk PGP public key available.
