I am using the latest released (not nightly) XBMC on Win7. Skin is Confluence. My media is on a Windows Home Server. Both machines are asleep most of the time. When I wake the Win7\XBMC machine via remote control, it wakes up the WHS machine via the LightOut WHS client add-in installed on the XBMC machine. The XBMC scans the WHS for new media, does a 'cleanonupdate', then I start using it.
Because the media is not there until the WHS wakes up, XBMC will often get into a non-responsive state if I leave it up all the time (through sleep\resume cycles). As a result I have devised a method that kills XBMC on PC sleep, and starts XBMC on PC wake.
This is all really just background provided as it might be contributing to the real problem: the "TV Shows" item keeps dropping off the Home Window! Sometimes when I turn on the XBMC the TV Shows item is just gone. I can go into Videos and it is still added there, but its content type is not set. To restore it to the Home Window I have to set the content type to TV Shows and do a full scan again (which takes ~40 minutes) and then it shows up on Home Window... until the next time it drops. Music and Movies have never shown this issue - only TV Shows.
No debug log yet - will provide if you think it'll be helpful. I can't really repro at will, so it's hard to capture. I guess I can just turn it on and let it log until it happens again.
Thoughts?
