Where is recognized Movie/TV show info stored?

When Boxee recognizes my Movie files, where is this info stored? I ask because the Movie artwork that Boxee assigns seems to be different from the thumbnail I pasted into the movie file in iTunes. ie., when I drop a Movie into iTunes I see the artwork I pasted in; when I view the same file in Boxee I see the artwork (DVD cover) that Boxee assigned to that Movie.

Boxee stores data from your movies, music, pictures, etc in an SQLite database under the ~/BOXEE/userdata/Database path in the file named boxee_media.db.

Thanks for the location of stored Art/info. After recognizing a bunch of my movies located on an external drive, one day the artwork just disappeared. The movies are still categorized as "recognized" and have the correct descriptions but the DVD box art (thumbnails) went away and was replaced with a frame grab from each movie. I didn't upgrade or change anything in the system, just removed and remounted the external drive. Anyone else- or is it just me?

try erasing your library and let Boxee re-index the files ..if this does not work try removing the UserData and adding the source again

I tried erasing my library. All it did was erase my entire library. The movies did not reindex themselves. Is there a way to force Boxee to reindex the files? They are still recognized, have the correct text description- just the thumbnails are gone and replaced with a random frame grab from the movies. I even added all the artwork back in by RE-recognizing the movies one by one and that works; but a few weeks later all the art was gone again. Bummer.
