Huh? What has retiring an old backend got to do with the above problem?

As I recall the way to get the video scan to work is to move the Video Storage 
Directory to a temporary empty directory and scan. This should reset the 
database info. Now move the directory back and rescan and it should pick up 
everything.

Hi Mike,

 
It's a good suggestion, which I've just tried - renamed /media/myth/video to /media/myth/video_old and created an empty /media/myth/video, then ran a scan from the frontend on this new, empty, folder and every video was removed except the troublesome, non-existant videos, that DEFINITELY are not in the empty video folder.

 
It's really quit odd.

 
Regards,

Dave.
