Cannot get CME to work
Posted: Thu Mar 26, 2020 3:16 pm
I've been using CMC for quite a long time. A few days ago CMC stopped working entirely. Not sure what happened because I had not made any changes to my PC. But when I ran CMC there were no movie covers at all. The music library was fine. So I did the usual checking by looking at the settings.Everything was fine and as it should be. I attempted to do a full sync. But no movies appeared. I started to suspect something got killed from a recet Windows Update. But maybe not.
After a lot of time spent, I finally decided to delete the entire program and all files within C:\CMC and start over. I cleaned up my registry with CCleaner, rebooted and downloaded a new setup file from your download site. That's when I saw the new 3.2 release. So I executed the downloaded file and extracted everything to C:\CMC again. I began by executing CMC.exe as an administrator and set up everything in "setting". Then did a full sync. I saw it loading all 550 movies from each of my 4 HDs. But no movies showed up.
I supposed I went through then entire delete everthing-and-reinstall process 5 times before I started reading your installation instructions. Sorry.
So I then discovered the critical CMC_Metadata_Exporter.exe thing and executed that. I am not sure that I checked everything in all the tabs correctly. However, I did enter my login info for MyMovies. I have always had 3,000 points so I'm good there. I also entered my PC name as well as my API key. But I was thrown by not seeing some kind of 'Execute' button to get it running. I went back to CMC.exe and tried another full sync but still no movies. I reread the tutorials again (by the way, your links to the tutorials listed in 3a) are not working).
Now when I try to get back into CMC Metadata Exporter.exe nothing happens when I double click the exe file. No window containing the tabs, etc. Nothing. No matter what I do. But I can see it running in Windows Task Manager. By 'Ending' it and trying to re-execute it still brings up no screen.
What have I messed up?
