The video library hashes everything it stores to prevent duplicate 
entries, but currently only allows one stored location in the database. 
If you have a file that appears to exist in multiple places, the file 
will keep bouncing around from location to location each time you scan 
for content. It shouldn't be wiping the metadata every time, as that is 
the whole purpose of hash matching, but it will keep changing the name 
in the host column.

Any chance you're also running in File Browse mode?
