Ok bobrap, I thank you for your persistence & thanks for posting that your still having issues rather than being silent...
Ok firstly can you post the first paragraph or so of the exception message, up till the mediacompanion assembly version number (we need to make sure your using the latest version to start with - 3.408b)
Second, what I usually do if I'm having trouble is break it down a bit to try & workout where the problem lies.
I do that by first installing MC in a new directory (MC is portable) & start it up. It will have no config files so it will start up with defaults. It will also have no folders set, but it should load fine & close fine at this stage.
Then I would set my preferences the way I want them & then close & restart.
The I would add a single movie folder & see if MC can add that successfully to the internal cache.
Basically, I would continue to add until the problem reoccurs at which point i would have narrowed it down to a particular nfo file that is causing the problem.
MC is still beta, it doesn't check everything is right before it tries to act on it, so if the nfo data is not right it can cause MC to crash. We are going thru at the present making the backend a lot more thorough in terms of what it creates & what it reads in.....
Anyway I hope you stick with MC & provide some more useful feedback on how it's working in the field.
Cheers
