Media Library Corrupted after a crash, unable to rescan or identify afterwards

I was browsing around and the box froze and I had to force shutdown. I tried bringing the box back up and it got stuck on black screen after the boxee cube logo. I had to force shut down again, this time the box came back up after starting it up again for the 2nd time. Though everything seemed normal, my show and movie library were gone. Sources were correctly setup, scanning yields 0 identified files. Manually identifying anything succeeds but ends up adding nothing and I am shown a no media in local library for both movies and shows. Cleared the thumb and database from the settings and tried rescanning - did not help, recreated sources, did not help. I had to boot into recovery menu and reset all settings and setup everything again in order to get things going again.
