Hi all
I had a problem with XBMC just displaying a black screen as soon as you enter 'My Videos'. After a bit of searching I was able to determine that it is because of a corrupt video database file (MyVideos34.db).
Deleting (well, renaming) the video database file indeed fixed the problem - I was able to enter 'My Videos' without a problem once again.
However I have manually added over 350 movies to my database and have over 250MB worth of posters/thumbs. Obviously I would prefer if I didn't have to add/download all these again - especially the posters, as I already have them and they are not corrupt at all.
Does anyone know if it is possible to somehow 'fix' my corrupt database? I've tried the 'Clean database' option in video settings -> did nothing. I've also tried exporting the database. It asks me where to save the exported database and I save it, however when I go to the folder (in windows explorer) there is nothing there.
TIA for any answers provided! :)
