All my videos have disappeared, actually. I have five folders searched by the database engine: one for music, and four containing video. None of my videos are appearing in the left-hand frame listing artists even though they previously did, nor are they appearing in search results. There are AVIs, MPEGs and MKVs that should be appearing in the database. I checked for the videos via SubMini too, but they're not there either.
Edited to add troubleshooting steps and solution:I tried rolling back first to beta 2, then beta 1 but the videos did not reappear. I then returned to beta 3, removed one of the video folders from the database by deleting it from "Media Folders," re-added it and rescanned. Video files were still not visible.
I then began to wonder if it has to do with the fact that the videos are stored on a network drive, for while my music is on a local drive, all videos included in my database are stored on a network drive.I tried changing the address of one of the video folders from a network address to that of a mapped drive, but Subsonic wouldn't accept that address. I then changed the address of one of the video folders from the network name of the network drive to its numeric IP address and rescanned. That did the trick, the videos have now reappeared.
It thus appears to me that perhaps the newly rewritten database engine can find network shares via IP address but not via network name? That seems odd to me, but it worked for me.
