I have also problem with library update on startup. I am using Linux, Ubuntu 12.04 but when I start Eden, update runs about 1 sec and then it's over and nothing new is not in library. Same as Frodo. So how I can debug where is the problem? I am shared my files over Windows 7 Pro. I also tried map those shares directly on Linux but that not helped. I also removed whole .xbmc folder and reconfigured XBMC but still I got same problem.

When I manually update libray in Videos -> Files -> Context Menu -> Scan for new content, then library updates.

But when I use Frodo in Windows 7 Pro all updates works fine.

Edit. I found solution. I removed Exclude path from library updates in content settings and after that update on startup is working.

I am having the same issues as OP, all of my "exclude path from library updates" settings are off for both my movies and tv. Anyone find an issue? I really don't want to have to format my HTPC at this point, but it seems like it might be the only way.

EDIT: Looks like if you ping the machine first then open xbmc everything works like it should. So I made a .bat file with the following:

ping [YOUR-SHARE-COMPUTER-NAME-OR-IP-HERE]
"C:\Program Files (x86)\XBMC\XBMC.exe"

I couldn't figure out how to close the console while the app is running (not sure if its possible) in order to make it cleaner, but at least it works.

EDIT2: I just realized if XBMC does [not] open in fullscreen mode (after a computer restart), then it updates the libraries without issue. If XBMC [does] open in full screen mode (after a computer restart), then it does not update the libraries correctly until you do a manual update..
