CMT not creating Properties files ....

[nyplayer]

It appears that CMT is failing ... using latest Windows release... Not Creating Properties files.

Edit Appears to be working after reinstall.

There are a few qualifications about when the CMT .properties files are created/updated.

.properties files are created automatically by SageTV whenever metadata is changed and contain only the changed metadata. CMT does a dump of the full metadata into the .properties file.

BMT by default will not scan a media file if it has an existing .properties file, so CMT will does not process the file until BMT has flagged the file as having been scanned.

BMT is reliant on the video library scan period, so it does mean the properties file may not be created until some time > the video library scan period.

The log is showing that it is looking for eligible files.

Hope that clears it up?
