👋

Hello as well! I do prowl around here some. I've just been quite busy with other projects and haven't had much time for forum chatting. I also fairly rarely have issues with MC, so that's good!

JimH:
Antivirus?

So, I updated to MC30 on the server again. This time making sure to make careful, manual backups saved in a "project" folder. Hopefully I can get this straightened out.

Perhaps, though... I just looked. I had some active exclusions in Windows Defender (which is what I use, set basically to defaults) for various MC processes and folders: JRReader.dll, JRService.exe, the JRiver AppData directory, etc. Though nothing specifically for 30: MC30.exe, Media Center 30.exe. Of course, I also had nothing specifically for MC29 in there. Or 28. The previous exclusions I had in there were for Media Center 26.exe, so we're going back a ways.

I went ahead an added exclusions for Media Center 30.exe and MC30.exe, for good measure. Hopefully it is another 4 years or so before I have to battle that dumb set of dialogs.

MC30 is running well and all of my clients connect without complaining. I have all my scripts disabled.

We'll see about tomorrow.

Matt:
You might even try MC31!

I was planning to upgrade the client machines when I got stuck in this rabbit hole.

The server is actually a rack mount system that I don't sit in front of anymore. And I keep it on the final of the "last one" unless forced to upgrade (or I really want something) because dealing with the upgrade prompts on it makes me sad.

So, the project was:
1. Upgrade the server to MC30 final.
2. Give it a few days and then upgrade the clients to MC31 current.
3. Drink a beer.

I never made it to the beer, which definitely caused a sad. I did try, whilst fighting my broken copies, upgrading one of them to MC31 for a bit but it made no difference and I rolled it back.

Clients are all still working this afternoon. I'm sure it is one of my scripts, but... These scripts have been basically unchanged since probably ~MC26 timeframe. So...

What is making it bork the library so hard? Why does the Server itself seem fine, when none of the clients can load? Why doesn't the same thing happen on MC29? And, naturally, why can't things be easy?
