Need to update Sony AMA Plug-in for Media Composer 8.6.3

The joy of tracking software across multiple manufacturers websites to keep your editing station going. Today: Avid Media Composer 8.6.3.


Dang!

- How to check installed plug-ins in MC:
Project window / Info

This is what I have:
AMA Plugin Info:
 MediaCollector MVP Plug-InAvid Technology, Inc. 2.1.1.3415
 AS-11 Plug-In Avid Technology, Inc. 1.5.0.3431
 AVCHD MSP Plug-In Avid Technology, Inc. 1.3.9.3435
 Avid MXF MSP Plug-In Avid Technology, Inc. 2.1.1.3414

 MVP_MSP_SonyXDCAMEX_64bit Sony Corporation 1.9001
 SonyXDCAM_64bit Sony Corporation 3.4000.0.381

So these two underlined Sony XDCAM 64bit have to go.

- AMA Plug-ins folder location (on Mac OS X 101.10.5 Yosemite):
Boot HD/Library/Application Support/Avid/AVX2_Plug-ins/AMA


Actual folder content. Two Sony XDCAM Plug-ins in there. Bye now.

FCPX nothing happens when trying to import ProRes from Sony FS7 XDCA - XDROOT

Odd behavior from FCPX when trying to import ProRes footage from the FS7 / XDCA recorder.
The XDROOT folder structure is intact. It has been copied from the Sony card to HD. The card has been freshly formatted, there is no other footage on the card.
FCPX just hangs (nothing happens - rolling ball) when looking at the folder from Import window.
On the other hand, directly drag and drop the .mov file from the XDROOT/Clip works just fine.
Any ideas?
Using Import from FCPX... Stuck there, nothing happens.

Drop & dragging the .mov file works fine though.

Note: Premiere sees the file inside the XDROOT, so does Resolve.
