After upgrading to Eden from Dharma (using Lucid in both cases), I noticed that every time I tried to access the Movie library XBMC crashed. However, since I was using the Night skin, and since 99% of my movies are HD, I just hid the movie menu and instead used the Movies HD menu (which I believe just uses a smart playlist). Anyway, this set up was working fine, but it started to bother me that it wasn't working 100% the way it should, because... well because I'm like that - I'm sure many of you are the same. So I figured to hell with it, and I installed XBMCbuntu and created the library from scratch. After all that, same problem (irrespective of skin). Checking the log, I noticed that it crashed after trying to examine information for some videos. So I disabled Extract thumbnail and video information and voila! problem solved. Except, it's not really solved, just identified. Has anyone else run into this, or is it unique to me? I should note that I host the database on a server and have 2 completely different machines sharing the db and that both exhibited this problem. So, any ideas?
