Yes Vidal,
They both seem to happen independently as well as the same time.
Usually with three to 5 files being added at once.
When the smaller one shows I can close the window and re-add individually
When the big error happens it always freezes the app on my machine and I have to hard quit.
After that, if I restart the app my entire database is funky and the same errors become more frequent hence the reason I have just been deleting the DB and re-scanning the files.
As I mentioned to you before, after I had thoroughly cleaned/scoured all the metadata and started from scratch, I was able to re-add a massive amount of files without problem.
As you see it did return when I tried to add a few new files as a group several days later.
Add'l: I still have corrupted cast thumbnails no matter what I do...
Regards

I'm not sure if this is what you're already doing, but most wonky database issues should be straightened out by choosing the 'Rescan folders' item from the 'File' menu.

Yes, Thanks.
That does work for most.
Why I go a bit deeper is that as I add new files the big error becomes more and more frequent.
It all seems to reset if I delete the DB and rescan (leaving previous metadata in place)
Thanks again for the great application and all your hard work to support. It is appreciated.

More specfically this is the issue I am having: from the Kyra for Kodi remote thread.
The Kodi API only knows an imdbnumber and puts for the series the tvdbid in that.
Removing the imdbnumber in the nfo file (or putting the tvdbid value in the imbnumber) is causing Kodi to return the tvdbid as the imdbnumber.
You now have in your database series with an imdbid as imdbnumber. The kodi series scraper uses tvdb as a source, which doesn't know imdbids and therefore puts the tvdbid in the imdbnumber.
It's not something I can fix in the app. TVDB doesn't work with imdbnumbers. It's useless for me.
In my opinion it's best NOT to work with local nfo's. Just let Kodi do it's work. The Kodi scrapers I mean.
I can also see in your nfo file links to a tvdb xml file (episodeguide). tvdb has a new api which doesn't work like that anymore. It could stop working at one moment.
The kodi scraper however gets updated automatically so you don't have to worry about that.

There's no easy way to get rid of the IMDb ID from the .nfo file, since I believe that the TVDB also provides it. (in order to link entries)
You could try setting the .nfo format to 'Boxee', which uses <boxeeid moviedb=""> instead of <id moviedb="">, but i'm not sure if that'll help.

Do you have any plains to update the way VIMM writes .nfo files for tv and movies to the newer format standard Kodi is using now?
Both TMM and MediaElch have switched over, but I still prefer this scraper.
As this is causing issues with aspects of the DB I had to move to TMm, but would still much prefer your interface.
Thanks

What issues are you having?
From the link I can see they still use the "id" tag, and ViMM also uses the "title" tag with the show name, I could add the <showtitle> tag if that helps.
