[Fixed in v1.5.2020.0601] New User: Export Error

Hi

I have just been working through my first full export with CME and finally got a clean export (many outdated UNC paths)
As soon as I then changed to the recommended settings for ongoing changes, CME errors everytime as it gets to the TV series.
I now can't get into the settings to change anything. Attaching log and screenshot (I did add one Blueray title so you see that being exported)

Thanks

Sorry, new to this and posted a CME problem in CMC Support

It appears that due to the error, CME is not completing the export, and in turn not opening up access to the settings.

Close (don't minimize, but close) CME, and then restart it. Before running any export, you should be able to adjust the settings. Worst case, if that doesn't work, then reboot and try again.

Hopefully you didn't configure CME to autoexport on startup... if so then the above guidance won't help, and I might have to send you into the registry to make some config changes.

Regarding the error, I haven't seen that particular one before. An Access Violation error means that CME tried to access memory that wasn't accessible, and the address 00000000000 indicates what CME was trying to access simply doesn't exist. Unfortunately, the error doesn't indicate what was being accessed, so this will require some research and troubleshooting. This seems odd, though, as you were able to do a full export, and this issue only occurred during a changes-only run - I find it surprising you were able to do a full export but that this is failing.

Unfortunately, yes I have set it to auto-start the export so I'm not getting any opportunity to change anything. I am entirely comfortable in the registry so if you can tell what to change, thats no problem.

Color me impressed! 8-) Though I certainly didn't try to obscure them.

You know, someday someone's gonna see this thread while looking for the same answer, and they're going to wish I had posted the Registry path.

So for them:

Code: Select all

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ChamConSoft\Chameleon Metadata Exporter\Settings
And changing AutoStart from 1 to 0 will disable the auto-export.

Great thinking. I'm rerunning a full export to be confident (but that takes about 3 hours).
Is there anything specific that you'd like me to look for afterwards or do (like is there a debug option to make more information logged ?)

I would definitely like to see the logged output from the Standalone TV Series export section. Post here or email to me if you don't want to publicly share.

I attached the log above. It didn't say anything past "Starting Standalone TV Titles". But I can try it again after this full export
