I then rebuild it with my computer and now the Pi won't play anything in movies or in TV Shows, just like then i started.. My conclusion is that if the Pi don't make the library the first time, it wont play anything. If i use the Pi to create the library and then clean it from another device, it removes it all.. There must be a solution to this?

this will happen if you put LOCAL media to shared database. the purpose of clean is (beside other things) find records in database which do not exist anymore and remove them.

so if you attach an usb disk to RPI and use local path (like /media/xxxxxx) to scrape the media files, other XBMC instances will see "/media/xxxxx" in database. and when you use "Clean Library" option from such XBMC, it will check local folder and local file - which of course doesn't exists, so will remove it from DB.
