BIG THUMBS UP TO YA!!!
I uninstalled plex and rolled back with the previous one and now I can actually watch my shows on my server pute without nonstop buffering and stopping due to buffer.
Staying at this ver till something better comes along on updates.
Seriously I tried to watch movies and Tv shows and after about 5 mins it would freeze up for buffer issues and I had to close it then reopen it just to watch another 5 mins, finally got tired and just used VLC to watch them, but now back to normal.
Thanx again.
I can’t seem to find how to disable Plex Server Auto Update, anybody have somewhere to point me to for this? My plex server keeps auto updating to version “1.26.0.5715” which seems to make my database unusable. I initially wasted about 2 days redoing the DB because I couldn’t get it to work, to no avail (I initially thought since the backups weren’t working, maybe the older DB was just not compatible with the new version). I finally reverted back “1-25-8-5663” and that worked. However, my Plex server seems to keep auto updating which breaks functionality again. Manually reverting is getting old really quick. Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated.
Web interface as admin, click on wrench icon, general under settings, set “Server version updates” to “Ask Me”.

Plex Database Repair (MAC)
cd /Users/HOME/Library/Application\ Support/Plex\ Media\ Server/Plug-in\ Support/Databases
Check
“/Applications/Plex Media Server.app/Contents/MacOS/Plex SQLite” com.plexapp.plugins.library.db “PRAGMA integrity_check”
Dump
“/Applications/Plex Media Server.app/Contents/MacOS/Plex SQLite” com.plexapp.plugins.library.db “.output dump.sql” “.dump”
Make a backup copy and delete com.plexapp.plugins.library.db
Open the dump.sql file with an editor and look for corruption you’ll see a line like “CORRUPTION ERROR” with a bunch of **** around it. you can delete all the lines you find, change the very bottom from “rollback” to “commit”, and save.
“/Applications/Plex Media Server.app/Contents/MacOS/Plex SQLite” com.plexapp.plugins.library.db “.read dump.sql”
Done.
As the last option, it should work

If PRAGMA integrity_check shows errors, I would recommend attempting .recover instead of using .dump and .restore.
See the notes on .recover here, #11:
https://www.sqlite.org/cli.html
If there are database errors it may be more appropriate to use a backup or to start fresh. Even if most rows can be restored, missing rows may cause referential issues later, or data may be orphaned.

Just providing one final update… I posted a request with specific information as most of the solutions were about fixing a corrupt DB after install… So, in my post it was brought up that there may still be DB issues with everything working. So, I fixed the DB prior to upgrading, upgraded and now everything is working. In particular, there were 3 indexes I completed a reindex on and it worked. See more here:

Manage Recommendations - missing Seriously, WTH! Why must everything change once a month? The ONLY reason I haven’t went elsewhere already is because ! would have to help every one of my family members & friends MOVE to the new platform BUT that day is coming because I can’t take this nonsense any longer! I just recently found Manage Recommendations and it wasn’t perfect but it was much better than Plex had become but now it’s gone. I have tried everything and you obviously moved them out, No longer may I hover in my Manage Libraries and select Manage Rec. It leaves me with an anger that is hard to put in words. I have been here before Plex Existed, when it was just an idea.I paid monthly when it first came out and after much stress, got my server working perfectly so then I bought a Lifetime PP and built myself a New Server which still runs great today but now the interface is always a mess. ALWAYS! For the last 2 years it has progressively got worse. Every time I think I get it where I can live with it still, you people crush my hopes and make me have much more work than I needed not to mention the frustration. WHERE is This Feature and WHEN is it going to be available because it is still in the Plex Help section as Active but we all know it clearly is not! I’ve had it. I give. please someone shoot me and make it stop. Plex developers broke me along with their Server. BTW, is SEARCH EVER GOING TO WORK PROPERLY AGAIN?
Just uninstall and install older version and it will work again . That’s what I had to do. Version 1.26 does not work . So I installed 1.25 and all my files are back.
