My Lil Movie jukebox problem Exporting

[dave.t]

Hi folks
I had a slight problem with my database in movie collector 5.5 (Could not open it) I updated Movie collector to 7 and the database opened (Ya!!)
Problem now leads to the export. I have reloaded everything from scratch but the same problem.
The export starts but then it hangs in certain spots. It goes to export and then it just sits there. I can click on export from the menu and that export then works and continues on, but it then hangs again a bit later.
Even worse for the actor export as it hangs maybe every two to three actors. As you would be aware this would take hours as the database is ove 2200 movies.
I have looked at the starting data of each genre but nothing unusual.
As I said it does export that data when I do it manually
Any thoughts?? or is it time to change to new movie box? My movies are spread across a network on six locations (4 are popcorn units)

I do not use MoC ver 7 (I'm still on v5.6) however Penge58 identified what seems to be a compatibility issue with MoC v 7. Check out this post http://www.networkedmediatank.com/showth...?tid=52973

The only consistent explanation given for MLMJ to "hang" in the middle of processing is if it somehow loses focus on the PC desktop. The MLMJ scripts are written in AutoIT which essentially just sends a series of keyboard commands to open applications (like MoC). As such, it is important that, once started, the MLMJ export script maintain focus until it has completed.

I thought as much,because when watching the export you see the screen come up but then disappear. I have version 5 but I tried that and it still can,t open my database because it is some new format. I can still open it Kollection though. I will have a play around to see what might be taking the focus. I will report back if I find anything.
Thanks for the pointer
