I'm running XBMC 12.0, using a shared MySQL database. Recently upgraded to Frodo, noticed that the IMDB scraper wasn't picking up a bunch of my movies (including common ones that it should be able to identify such as Star Wars), plus it was taking a really long time to scan, so I decided to try The Movie Database scraper instead. After I switched, it picked up the rest of the movies beautifully, but then once it finished scanning the source, it then proceeded to start adding a bunch of bogus movies that I definitely don't have. When I checked the details of the movies, it was saying that the file paths were things like "videodb://1/2/684". This problem seems to occur on all three of my clients connecting to this database.
I took a look at my database, and these numbers that it thinks are filenames correspond to the idMovie column from the movie table in the database. It seems like XBMC is taking the list of movie titles to be another media source and attempting to scrape it. I've seen one other post where someone had this issue and had to recreate their entire database from scratch - I would really like to avoid that as I have almost 2 years of watching history that I would prefer not to lose.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
