Remote fixes should all be fixed up as well. Make sure you enter username/password under network.

12.10.20.660 is the version available for download that Motz put up last night. This version had some problems described above.
Unless Mikinho has a newer version out today (link?) I think the Monday quote for a fix still stands.
We released a version this morning that is available via Config -> About

I'm still having the same issue. The YammSvc won't start during install of the new services. I don't have Yamm installed standalone (I've never used Yamm before).

I had this issue last night as well, and now with this most recent version from 20 minutes ago.

EDIT: Also, it failed on an upgrade, on an x86 32bit machine.
Can you check your Application Event Log for errors?

0 events are listed.

The error message says that I should verify that I have sufficient privileges.

I've rebooted, and I notice the Yammm service doesn't start at all.

I was going to uninstall the services totally and reinstall, but thankfully, I saw your post, so I'll wait on your debug build.

Where does it error? Can you delete %ProgramData%\Ceton\CData\cdata.config and reconfigure?

I dunno why, but it suddenly behaved, and installed properly.
The Diagnostic says everything OK now.

I have no idea what caused all that.

I'm good like that

Edit: Btw .... if your PC has time drift it could account for the issue. Stay tuned for an addin in the near future to make time drift a thing of the past

No luck. I tried completely removing the app from one of my machines and reinstalling.

So just no movies?

- Local or network storage?
- Is the cache created at %ProgramData%\Yammm\Cache

No movies populate. I don't have a Yammm folder in program data. My movies are stored on the network on my Whs.

...on two machines. One x86 the other is 64.

This exact same setup with a whs is exactly how I tested. Remove all folders in the companion config movie library save, then readd them. Mae sure you specify user name and password under advanced networking.

Got it!

My exact issue: I left username and password blank as I don't have my media machines set up as users on my WHS. I assumed pointing to the location was sufficient.

I logged on with guest credentials and movies are starting to populate. :thumbup: Very nice!!
