Short description of error
[Please fill out a short description of the error here]
Material library has ceased working entirely.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
[Please describe the exact steps needed to reproduce the issue]
[Based on the default startup or an attached .blend file (as simple as possible)]
At first, it simply was slow on loading. I could find no way to allocate it more memory or to Blender as a program in general. Now, it does not work at all. Attempting to switch libraries freezes *only* Blender (the rest of programs on my computer function fine if any are running. Attempting to apply a material should a library appear throws a python error message indicating no such library exists (I have been only able to test it with "Sample Materials". I have repeatedly checked, removed, redownloaded all the associated files and folders (matlib, categories, and sample_materials.blend) with no change. It last functioned properly in 3.0, but I was still in 3.0 when it stopped working. I tried upgrading to 3.1 and then 3.2 experimental to see if I could trigger a change with no success. This happens on any blend file I attempt to use. The only way I could get it to "function" was by removing all of my other addons and disabling and then re-enabling the Material Library. However, it shows no materials that way, and in non of the configurations I tried have I been able to add my materials to my current project via the addon. Even when I attempt to alter the materials already in a file from when the addon was working, it simply throws the "cannot find library False" error.
All of that said, I'm a new Blender user so please let me know if there's any troubleshooting steps I missed.

Does invoking the "Reload Material" make the materials in the library show?
Can you attach the exact error you get here? I can't seem to find those errors in the source code. Maybe you have an old version or something?

Just a poke regarding my inquiry above, otherwise, we will have to archive this for now.
