It sounds like you have your files on a network share and when you start MediaPortal its not ready. TVSeries thinks since the network share is not available, the files have been removed hence they get deleted from the database. When the share becomes available again, they get re-imported.

There is definitely room for improvement on how the plugin handles this...but there is a few options you can try. In Configuration there is an option in General settings 'Keep reference to files that are no longer on computer', try enabling that. This will force you to manually remove files you no longer have though.

Typically you should not have this problem, ensure your network / chipset drivers are up to date as this can defintely cause issues. A few other tips:

* You should also try using a network share by IP address
* Remove DHCP from your computer and put in a static IP
* Do not power down network interface on standby
