I think it's happening primarily when scraping.
I have an ATV2 that I just upgraded from 5.0.1 to 5.3. Noticed that the thumbnails folder was getting way huge (5GB) so I decided to try path subs to move the thumbnails to the Win7 machine that serves all of the media. I had verified that this was working ok, seeing files get updated in the new path.
However, I was starting to note some very sluggish activity, and an occasional crash. Thought maybe this was the culprit so I intended to move the thumbs back on to the ATV and maybe try just cleaning things up a little. Unfortunately it got to about 99.9% done (53 files left) and the ATV was filled to the brim, storage tab under system info showed 100% full. So I deleted all the thumbnails and went back to path subs.
Next I tried using Millhouse's Texture cache maintenance utility (using the substituted path in his config file), but the box crashed during the query.
Now I'm just trying to start from scratch, removed the path sub, empty thumbnails directory, deleted textures13.db (per this thread), and started scanning the movies folder again.
The link below is the log for the most recent crash after starting the scan, which did not take much time to crash:

Can anyone shed some light?
Should have made sure path subs worked well before upgrading. Kind of ready as I mentioned in the other thread to dump the userdata folder and start all over again.
