All my video library content is on the sbe's, and accessed via storage groups.   If I do a Videos/Browse Videos/Scan for Changes all the content on the sbe's is removed, only the content on the mbe is left.

Hello Jean,
   The frontend I scanned from is the same version as the backend; i.e.

mythfrontend --version
xprop:  unable to open display ''
Please attach all output as a file in bug reports.
MythTV Version : v0.27.2-14-g40f8852
MythTV Branch : fixes/0.27
Network Protocol : 77
Library API : 0.27.20140702-1
QT Version : 4.8.1

The mbe is headless, but I fired up mythfrontend using a  ssh -X session, and the all the sbe content was library was removed from the video library. :-(   Because I started this from the command line I can also see lots of messages that look like this

On the +ve side I know my backup/restores of the database are working.
