But I think the problem is your export was made before we changed it to support years.

Thus, a new export won't have the problem.

This will be the same reason that using a new version of XBMC won't export the thumbs correctly, as it's assuming the layout because of a bug introduced here, where versioning was added but then promptly ignored...

I'll fix this.

New export? How new?

The year support, when did that start? since the export I last used was Feb so only a month old. The one in the link I included was a day old. It does have 2011 at the very top but... like I said, opened in wordpad and having no experience with these files it was just a big mess to look through. My db is pretty big else I'd have included the whole thing.

I'd switch to the new XBMC but, I use EventGhost and not sure if a new XBMC will work with EG or not.

Also is there a way to refresh the entire database? or do I have to basically wipe it out and rescrape the whole library to fix the thumb issue?

You're using Dharma, so it doesn't make a difference when your export was done. To confirm, right at the top of videodb.xml you'll see:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>

<videodb>

  <movie>

Notice there's no <version> tag between <videodb> and <movie>. You can't fix this until you update to an Eden build (something after RC2).

As for your thumbs issue, the best bet is for you to put one of the links from your XML into a browser and see if it's still valid.
