Librarys not populating

Hi All, wierd problem that I'm hoping somebody will no of.

I have 2 computers running mce no problem. The 3rd computer was running kodi for about 18 months. I tried but in the end it had to go, so I want mce back on the 3rd pc.

Sounds easy, well there are problems.

It installs, I go through set-up, I add library folders. If I open videos it shows the folder has 200 items in it. I open it and all thge 200 are there, I click it and its empty. It seems it can read the folder but not open the content. Or no content in the folder. But there is.

Like I said, my other mce's are fine. I'm baffled.

Problem not solved but it's working.

I decided to reset windows 10 and try again, whatever was causing the anomoly has now gone.

Happy Days :thumbup:

I've had problems with the libraries getting corrupted for some reason. Not sure why it happened, but I don't use them much so never really tried to fix it.
