I will be trying to add this to the official repo soon, so if anyone has had any issues with the latest version, I would appreciate hearing about it.

Can you rename the addon folder and addon data folder from script.loosefiles-master to script.loosefiles?
e.g. C:\\Users\\RavRob\\AppData\\Roaming\\XBMC\\userdata\\addon_data\\script.loosefiles

I have added a fix to the master branch to accommodate branch installs from a github zip, that will solve this issue.

Crashed last time I used it on openelec too, do you want me to go and generate a debug log?

That would be helpful, yes.
Also a description of how you have your data stored (network shares, etc) would be useful.

Sorry I couldn't reproduce the error. But I am using openelec 4.01 which I think is Xbmc 13.1. Smb shares

Slightly different deal here - once I renamed a Pokémon directory to get rid of the accent, Loose Files ran to completion. I'm seeing a lot of files in the list that are actually in the library. I haven't been through the fill list - around 1100 files - but from what I saw earlier, I'm wondering if this is related to the directory structure not being exactly what the script is expecting to find?
I've got <rootdir>/Atlantis/<episode.mp4>, for example, when TVDB lists it as Atlantis (2013).
XBMC imported it properly because the filenames match TVDB, but this is my best guess based on the data I've been through so far.
This looks like an outstanding tool to finish my library cleanup - I've got a combination of Sickbeard managed downloads and some manual fills that don't always follow naming conventions, so I'm hoping Loose Files will help me find and fix the bad filenames. When I was manually managing playlists, they weren't a big deal, but now that I'm shooting for a more user (and family) friendly solution, I need to make sure I'm playing nice and giving the tools the data they need.
Data is on NFS shares on an Ubuntu server; XBMC is running on an Ubuntu desktop. Both 12.04 LTS.

Thanks, I will have a look.
The data must be stored differently in your set up. I have NFS shares as well, so I wonder what the difference is.
