I'm still suffering from this issue. It is annoying! I can not download information from the internet for movies. I can not benefit from the program, I can not use it.
XMM is in the exception list of my windows firewall and security essensials.
I can see that the XMM can connect to internet to check updates.
But when I run magicscript on a title, it says that the title is "nothing" and waiting for kick start.
I have the same problem of "waiting for kickstart" which started today. I had added a movie just before with no problem but the next one gave the error message. Did you find a solution?
