I am and have been using 10.0.161, when I select import media, the dialog comes up "Importing new files", and it gets stuck searching with 0 files found.  I even tried doing this on an empty directory, and it still gets stuck  And the Cancel doesn't work when it gets stuck, and I have to select "Exit" from the system tray icon, which closes MC, but then an execption is thrown.   I tried reinstalling but to no avail.
Any ideas?

maybe a bad media file

maybe you should take some of the files out of the folder your trying to import from and see what one is making MC stop importing on.

But as I mentioned, it hangs now even on empty folders.

I see.

you could back up your Library then clear the Library and try again

if it does not work, you could uninstall, remove the J river folder and all folders below it (back up your cover art folder)

reinstall MC

put back the cover art folder

re-import

yes you will lose your play lists

I unistalled MC 10, deleted the directory, reinstalled 10.0.161, and it still hangs even when searching an empty directory.  I even tried deleting the stuff under JRiver in the registry.
What else can I try?

Use the advanced option in import.

Try searching for a single file type.  Wav, for example.

And try searching a single directory.  Use the browse button.

Is it possible MC is searching for a network drive that has been removed?

MC 11 works, so maybe I will just use that.

I had this sort of problem when i started using MC. Maybe JR folks, could provide some leniency in letting MC look for media files.

I guess they have specified some rules like a song should be 20 seconds long, something like that. These are the ones causing the problem.

I had trouble with my old real media files. MC could not handle that.

A suggestion: if the media is not suitable, then let the customer decide , not MC.

cheers,

it is media files less than 5 seconds if i am not mistaken, and there is an option to allow them to be imported, it is on the Advanced import Dialog.
