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.

Code:
<advancedsettings>
<videolibrary>
<cleanonupdate>false</cleanonupdate> <!-- default set to false to prevent xbmc from removing items from the database while updating. -->
<hideallitems>true</hideallitems> <!-- removes the "*All" items from the video library -->
<hideemptyseries>true</hideemptyseries> <!-- hide empty series in the video library -->
<hiderecentlyaddeditems>false</hiderecentlyaddeditems> <!-- removes the "Recently added ..." items from the video library. -->
<recentlyaddeditems>35</recentlyaddeditems> <!-- number of recently added items. Defaults to 25 -->
<flattentvshows>1</flattentvshows> <!-- Flatten TV show seasons, 0=never 1=if one season (default) 2=all -->
<flattenmoviesets>true</flattenmoviesets> <!-- Flatten movie sets: if true, show all movies inline, false (default) shows sets in movie listings -->
