Media Encoder not working

I am running Mac Pro 2019 Ventura 13.5.2

Premiere Pro 24.0.3 (Build 2)

Media Encoder 24.0.3 (Build 2) So we have the same versions running. That answers that question

When I send a sequence to export to ME it no longer encodes  but it says it's Encoding. When I go to "stop" it tells me that it is Encoding do I want to strop it?

In the very recent past like before it updated version I was able to encode multiple sequences.

I have no problem encoding a single sequence from within Premiere Pro itself.

Often what ME does is says it's conecting to "Dynamic Link" "This may take a few minutes"

But it never really connects. I attach a screen grab.

I get no encode preview, although show preview is checked in settings.

All was fine a version ago.....

Thank you,

Greg
