Yes, it ran fine for a bit but now I am getting a new message every time I try and do anything.

I admit I am still on 2.94 because it has continued to do everything I need until now (apart from the recent problem affecting everyone). If upgrading would cure it I can do, but it did work fine again this morning to start with.

RE: get_iplayer data sources restored
Wow, wow and double wow. Spot on Mark. Dumped all the cache files and re-opened get_iplayer and boom working perfectly. What a strange coincidence that it corrupted hard on the heels of the data sources problem.? Computers! Don't you just love em and hate em. Many thanks indeed.

In the early days of Nitro, the BBC did issue some keys to non-employees. They seem not to have expired all of them. :) Mike ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
