I was hoping someone might be able to help. I'm running the latest version of Dharma and the Cirrus Extended skin in Windows 7 32-bit. I've been encountering a problem where when I run the "clean library" request, it is corrupting myvideos34.db. All of a sudden my TV Shows and Movies disappears from my home screen.

This has resulted in me having to do a full re-scan of my library (a PITA to say the least...since I customize the fan art, etc). Once my re-scan was complete, I backed up all of the.db files (in case they got corrupted again).

Well, today I deleted a few movies from my NAS, then booted XBMC and ran "clean library" again...guess what...it corrupted myvideos34.db again!! (good thing I had a backup). Anyone else encountering this issue? Is there some sort of fix or something I should be aware of?

If it's reproducible, can you turn on debug logging then clean the library again? If it results in a corrupted db, the the debug log should be able to tell us why.

Please excuse the total N00b question....how do I turn on debug mode and where is that log file found (so I can copy and paste it here).

From the sticky thread:

Where is my (debug) log?
IMPORTANT! The normal XBMC log IS NOT a debug log, to enable debug logging you must toggle it on under XBMC Settings - System.
The location depends on your windows version:

1. Windows Xp: Documents and Settings\[user]\Application Data\XBMC\xbmc.log
2. Vista/Win7: Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\xbmc.log

If you start XBMC in "portable" mode (with the -p commandline argument) then the log will be in the XBMC folder itself.

Okay, here's my xbmc.log file after turning on debugging. I was able to replicate the problem. I turned on debugging and then did a "clean library". Once it was done, my Movies and TV Shows disappeared.

Can anyone help??

Bump

I still need some help on this. I ended up exporting my entire library to a file and uninstalling xbmc 10.1 and then reinstalling it. Then I imported my library from file. Once it was completed, I then did a "clean library"....same thing happened...Movies and TV Shows disappeared. This is getting really annoying!

Stupid question, are you using the PVR branch?

20:22:09 T:1760 M:2987073536 ERROR: Error evaluating boolean expression !PVR.IsRecording + PVR.HasTimer

Cause that may be your problem

No, I am not using the PVR branch....how do I go about turning it off?

[Dr.Know]

Any takers?? I can't seem to find any info on these forums or in the wiki on how to turn off the PVR function within XBMC (unless I'm blind...which could very well be true)...

[Dr.Know]

I've updated my debug log since re-installing XBMC and am running Cirrus instead of Cirrus Extended. Let me know if there's anything in there suspicious causing this problem I'm having.
