I finally managed to get the movie db filled up the way it was prior to the clean reinstall of Mediaportal. I did this by "feeding" the importer a few dozen titles at a time (moving the files to the watched folders while MovingPictures was open). I do not know why this apparently is workaround for the problem, but it seems to be a bug that comes up when doing mass imports.

It took me a full afternoon of trying to troubleshoot this problem and hours of importing the library to the state it used to be in. Rather frustrating, almost considered ditching Mediaportal/Moving Pictures altogether in hopes of finding a HTPC solution that didn't involve babysitting.[DOUBLEPOST=1358938619][/DOUBLEPOST]Since the problem seemed to be affected by changing the order of importers (or disabling certain importers altogether), could the problem be in certain grabberscript, rather than moviepictures routines or DB issues?
