Sure you should, it does not however delete it from the library.

Hi, recently I have been having issues accessing the TV Shows and Movie folders when I do not have a network connection. I am using my HTC Legend as a modem for my computer and when I do not have it plugged in as a modem I get the following screen when opening either folder:

As soon as I plug my phone in as a modem I get to the TV folder, even though I do not have an Internet connection, it takes around 30 seconds before I have internet.

I have tried with the latest Beta, as well as the two RC's.

Hmm. I think I'm gonna merge these threads into the General help and Support area. My suggestion for now is to post a debug log on pastebin from a time when you have an empty video library and you then scan your folders.

Ok, I have a really strange problem. I got my Movies folder set up how I want it and got it to scan for all the proper content, but it doesn't stop there. It will start finding a bunch of random movies that I don't have in the folder. The weird thing is that each of these entries has a number in the title. Looking up the file path, I noticed that each of these entries begins with "videodb://" and a bunch of random numbers. I have no clue what videodb is or why it's being scanned. All I want to do is remove these entries.

I'm using the Dharma Release Candidate 2 on Ubuntu 10.10. I really appreciate any help.

Are you using Ember Media Manager to muck around with your database?

EDIT: Rather, XWMM ?

Haha yeah I just realized that, sorry.

Here's my log, although I'm not sure if it'll help:
http://pastebin.com/nnGgdp1W

Do you think the problem could be that I exported my database to the separate folders in Windows? In other words, I have all the scraped content locally available in each movie's folder. I'm thinking it may be going back through those files and trying to scan in the stored entries.

Again: Do you use (or have used in the past on this database) XWMM ?
