OK, managed to give it a test and there is indeed an easier way to fix it than editing the database directly.
Those two files were not on the ignore list, but were listed in the movie list as if they had been imported, although they did not appear in the list in the GUI in MediaPortal. Clicking the "remove and ignore files" (or something similar - the red cross icon) button for these two files has fixed the problem.
This was easy for me because of course I already knew which files to look for. Otherwise I would have had to look at the list in the area that was causing the crash and look for anything that appeared in the list in the MovingPictures config utility but did not show in the GUI in MediaPortal. But once you find the offending files it would be an easier way to fix the database than manual editing.

So, in short:
Look for any film that appears in the "all movies" list in the MovingPictures config but does NOT appear in the list in MediaPortal.
In the config, highlight that film and press the "remove and ignore" button (red cross).

[QUOTE="RobNorthcott, post: 1281495, member: 57999"] OK, managed to give it a test and there is indeed an easier way to fix it than editing the database directly. Those two files were not on the ignore list, but were listed in the movie list as if they had been imported, although they did not appear in the list in the GUI in MediaPortal. Clicking the "remove and ignore files" (or something similar - the red cross icon) button for these two files has fixed the problem. This was easy for me because of course I already knew which files to look for. Otherwise I would have had to look at the list in the area that was causing the crash and look for anything that appeared in the list in the MovingPictures config utility but did not show in the GUI in MediaPortal. But once you find the offending files it would be an easier way to fix the database than manual editing. So, in short: [LIST] [*]Look for any film that appears in the "all movies" list in the MovingPictures config but does NOT appear in the list in MediaPortal. [*]In the config, highlight that film and press the "remove and ignore" button (red cross). [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
