I have multiple disc drives, so I always run two copies of makemkv (one on each drive).
However, in the latest release (1.9.4), the second and subqequent copies simply freeze when I hit the make mkv button. They'll read and scan disks just fine.
This of course causes batch rips (say 20-30 disks on average) take twice as long since I can only have one ripping at a time.

[BUG] Makemkv frozen when running multiple copies
Re: [BUG] Makemkv frozen when running multiple copies
Is there anything in the log before it locks up? Is this behavior new in 1.9.4 vs. 1.9.3, or was the previous version you were using older than that?

Re: [BUG] Makemkv frozen when running multiple copies
I previously ran 1.9.1, and no, whatever causes it to freeze is not written to the logs.
