Good, thank you ahsiah78.
I see a couple issues that likely explain the result you are experiencing. I'm going to put extra detail in this post to hopefully help other users who might experience the same troubles in the future.
First, you are trying to do an Export Changes Only. You should not have this enabled yet, as you have not done a successful export.

The Export Changes Only option uses extra code to evaluate timestamps in the XML. While in general, that should be okay even for a first export, if there is a source data problem, then this extra code can make the GUI hang as you're experiencing. If you turn the Changes Only option off, I think you will get a different result. Not a good result, just a different result with some error messages that would have gotten us to the solution a bit quicker.
That implies you have a source data issue - something's wrong with your access to the My Movies API.
The real problem here is that I think you are pointing CME at "My Movies for Windows - Home and Essentials" running on a Microsoft Windows Home Server. I'm basing this off of the "
MYWHS" name you used for the "My Movies Desktop PC Name / IP Address:" value, so
please correct me if I assumed wrongly.

I can't explain why Binnerup does it this way, but he does
not include the API with the server installs. I recently added guidance in serveral places to help clarify this limitation. This guidance is in CME as you see above.
It's also in section 3a of the Getting Started guide:

And it is at the top of CME tutorial "2 - CME Initial Setup":

The My Movies API lives inside of the My Movies system tray icon:

This icon / system tray service is not installed as part of the "My Movies for Windows - Home and Essentials". It is only part of the "My Movies for Windows - Windows 7, 8 or 10" install. You will have to install that somewhere in order to have the My Movies API. If you already have this installed and running on a Windows desktop PC in your home, you can point CME towards that PC.

Please let me know how it goes.
