exit MePo while Playback crash the MyFilms-DB (2 Viewers)

Not known AFAIK - at least I can't recall it being reported. And I cannot reproduce it.
Please attach your MyFilms.log and any error.log files from MP so @Guzzi can try to identify the cause of the problem. It would help if you can remember the exact steps - such as , were you near the end of the playback? Was it paused? Were you in full screen? etc. Log files should show most of that info, but steps to reproduce are usually essential for solving issues.
When you say 'crash the MyFilms-DB' do you mean you can no longer open/read it? Is the XML file still the same size? Can you see anything corrupted if you view it in a text/xml editor?
BTW MyFilms normally creates a backup of your catalog/db in your catalog folder - so you can probably revert to that if needed.

two times in the last day, i fight with stuttering 24p movies and playback the same movies for testing.
i don't remember if i pause the playback or simply click the "close-X" on the top bar while running.
After that the MyFilms.xml file was brocken, only a few movies are left, the file decrease form 4 MB to 136k.
i copy the logs later.

If you get the problem repeatedly, please post logs of such an incident - maybe it tells us, what happens. Seems, that there was write access when closing MP - could be the stopping playback, that is calling the playback ended handler which tries to update the DB - if the process is killed (or MP already partially down) while it is writing to the DB, this can cause corruption. If you "only" closed - and not killed - MP, it might be possible to force MP waiting until writeback is finished - but all this only possible, if we can reproduce it.

I have looked at your log files, but as usual they are unintelligible gobbledegook. (I am sure that the original developers who wrote that code know what the log entries mean, but those developers have long since retired from the MP team.)

That was it! :)
I had to set it to "Maintain display scaling". I think it was set to "Maintain Aspect Ratio", which added black bars to MediaPortal when playing videos that didn't conform to a strict 16:9 ratio, I suppose.
Thanks to everyone for the patience and help, I can finally enjoy videos fully.
