Can't "Scan for New Content" properly 14662 - sheratan - 2008-08-04

Similar problem on an Xbox in this thread.

Code:
I used to be able to scan an entire folder of movies ("set content" - "scan") and it would automatically download all of the movie thumbnails. Yesterday I had a movie folder icon that I couldn't get rid of so I went into Userdata and deleted everything in the video thumbnail folder. It got rid of the sticky icon (along with all of my movie thumbnails) but now when I scan my movie folder using IMBD, it flashes a quick "scanning" message that lasts a second of two but doesn't add any thumbnails.

Is there something I need to do to make this work again? Would hate to have to add the thumbnail for each film separately.

I can't use that solution (remove source, then re-add source )since I can't seem to add an external USB Drive in 'add source'.

If I go inside my 'Movies' folder I can manually scan every map without a problem.

How can I purge my library?

Just wipe out your db and start over. (userdata/database/myvideos##.db)

I fixed it by removing all the movies in Library Mode. moving all the files to another directory and scan again.

My previous post is obselete. I could not fix it that way. It only scanned the movies that were previously available in Library Mode (Before I deleted them).

I can't find any database folder or myvideos##.db file. Is it supposed to be under /usr/share/xbmc/userdata/

~/.xbmc/userdata/database/myvideosXX.db

Where is database folder or myvideos##.db under 14662 - sheratan - 2008-08-05
