video database problems / how to rebuild - bargain - 2012-04-07 I'm recently having the problem that XBMC loses the video library. That is, I'll start XBMC and there will be no items in the video library. I then rescrape all my media and it will be fine for a few days but then I'll lose everything again. It only loses the video library; the music library is fine. I'm running Eden under Windows 7; the database is stored locally and not shared with any other users. My sources are all still there (i.e., if I go into videos/files there is a list of directories) but if I bring up the context menu for one of the directories there is no content set (i.e., I get the option to set content). As said, I then have to go through each directory and reset the content accordingly and rescrape. I'm guessing I need to rebuild the video database. Is it enough to delete myvideos60.db from userdata/datatbase or are there other files I need to delete? I realise I can backup and restore but that doesn't resolve the underlying problem. Here's my advanced settings in case it matters. I previously had cleanonupdate set to true but just changed it.
