Hrmm.. well your log files are pretty clear. It looks like it's trying to pull a backdrop from the folder containing the movie, but one of your movies in your database is for some reason not linked to any files. Obviously, this is not an expected setup so in some situations (like in the local artwork provider) this causes an error.
Several changes have already been made to prevent this kind of problem. First a few pieces of code that might be causing this situation have been cleaned up. Second, logic is now run on startup of the plug-in to "clean" the database of any bad entries such as the one causing you problems. And third, the actual LocalProvider class causing the specific error you are reporting here has been modified to correctly handle a movie without any files attached (even though, like I said, this is not considered a valid configuration). So I am very confident the new version will solve your problem.
The downside to all of this is of course this will not be available until the next release. If you feel the local backdrop loading logic is very important to you, and you do not mind playing around with unstable and experimental test builds, then PM me and we can talk.

Where do you set this option?

Thanks. With 0.64 I switched back on this option and it didn't crash anymore until now. I think I know which movie made it crash - I had several "million dollar baby" in the database which were never on my harddisk and I couldn't get rid of. Movingpcitures didn't remove them. Seems like this bug is gone as well.

Yes. You're right. I've found that removing access to AresPlugin.dll stops AresLog.txt being updated.
Although you could delete everything relating to Ares, I think you don't have to once you've removed AresPlugin.dll.
Thanks for the help.
