Logs show your MovingPictures database is corrupted:

Please try to follow the instructions here:
http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/16_Support/Troubleshooting/Repair_SQLite_Database

...for the file c:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\database\movingpictures.db3 (instead of VideoDatabaseV5.db3).

[Note: Windows hides ProgramData by default, so you may need to copy and paste the path into the address bar in Windows Explorer to find the file.]

If the process doesn't work, try to recover the file from backup (if you have one)... or if you don't have a backup, you'll have to delete it.

You are the best Man.

With these tips, all is working again!

I'm just wondering if it is good idea to install version 1.9 of the MP over the existing 1.8?

Can you advice me please? Will i get any noticeable upgrades?

Thanks again

    It is completely your choice.

    Will i get any noticeable upgrades?
    I can't tell what features you use and what you would notice/appreciate.
    So, I suggest to read the release news and make the decision for yourself.

    I do not know why this xml was in my theme folders, it must have sneaked in some time ago (years?). I simply removed the file. The Latest Media Handler plugin seems to be working as expected. I've had no lock-ups.
